I have had issues recently with my fuel pump blowing the inline fuse after just a minute or less of driving. I figured out the vent on the tank was plugged originally and fixed that and still had the issue. I just sent the pump back to Magnafuel and they just went through it and replaced the motor and all the internals. I just reinstalled it tonight and now it is blowing the fuse in less than 10 seconds!! Ramin and Mike Miller have both come over and checked the positive and grounds on the pump and all seem to check out good. I am at a loss here. I thought for sure this was going to be the fix and now I am back to square 1!! If I don't figure it out soon it is going to a shop. Any suggestions on something to try?
 
Hi Josh,
If you don't have any shorts to ground,then the only possibility is the pump. Disconnect it, see if the fuse blows. If not, then the pump is bad.You might check the wiring to the pump,but I doubt that's the cause.It's a shame,I thought those guys were reliable.
