Default Keep blowing my Fuel Pump fuse (20a)

I keep blowing the 20 amp fuel pump fuse, its not like everyday, but every couple of months my car wont start, and its either the fuel pump relay, or the 20 amp fuel pump fuse. Does anybody know what would cause this? Thanks for any input!

Default pump

Most likely your pump is internally shorting causing the high current flow. It could be the wiring, but most likely the pump.

I Pm'd you.

Does that mean its going out? Its never made a peep. The pump was replaced by the dealer a long time ago, so I doubt the wiring is bad.

Given the "dealer" has had his hands on the car, I'd look VERY closely at the wiring, plugs, etc.
Check the voltage at the pump....

Normally I would be worried about the dealer, but its been in for 80k and just started doing it the last 3k.
