So it ran for a while and popped, then after you changed the fuse it popped again more quickly?
Could be a short in the power lead to the pump, maybe hitting the chassis somewhere and drawing a ton of amps.
Good luck.

I have seen that before, the causes were 1. there were two pumps being fed by the BAP-stock and an extra in line pump. Current draw was too high but didn't not pop fuse right away, just melted it down. 2. was from a loose connection in the fuse holder, we removed the fuse holder provided and installed a more HD piece. Problem was solved after removing the second pump on the first one, and the new fuse holder on the second.
Hope that helps.

I have read about wires melting with running off the stock setup, I know several guys on the c5 FI forum are runing the racetronic hard wire setup for their BAP, only $75 and great insurance.
