Sounds Like A Short In Your Wireing Or Mabye A Bad Pump.. Id Unplug The Pump And Replace The Fuse It If Blows Then Its Your Wireing If It Dosent Blow Until You Plug It In Then Its Gotta Be The Pump

I do not know why you needed 2 threads for this problem but... Is it possible you got a screw through the harness? Check fro power at the ground you are connecting when the fuse blows. If you have power there you have it touching another wire somehow. It may have been a problem in the assembly process as well just need to track down where the short is coming from.
