there is most likely a short in the wiring somewhere, you will have to have a good look at the wiring going to the fuel pump.

Yes, either that or maybe the electric motor in the pump is about to die and overloading the circuit.

Did this happen after you changed the fuel pump and filter?

I would recheck all your work you have done. Especially around the fuel tank. see if there is no wire being squashed or shorting to ground.
Its going to be a hassle but take the tank out again and recheck all the wiring and fuel pump.
This is because it was not happening before you changed the pump.

Try checking the fuel pump relay. Maybe some corrosion around it or the relay is faulty???? Dunno.

It blew a fuse with the old pump that's why he put a new pump in and it's still blowing the fuse so like wamboin23 has said the car had the issue b4 he changed the pump so it might be safe to say its not his doin.
