So, a fuse keeps popping to the fuel pump. We have already dropped the tank and replaced the fuel pump. (Took a week.) Anyways all was good for a week, and now we are back to fuses popping.
All wires are fine, and been checked. That was the first step.
The entire fuel system is new.
Can someone please tell me why? Or help.

The reason the fuse is blowing is due to that circuit seeing a load that has more amps than what it should. The cause of it could be the power wire is rubbed through and under the right circumstances comes into contact with the body of the vehicle and grounds itself out blowing the fuse.
