Well i looked at my wiring and everything is perfect ...

i just found a webpage about some german car and the guys said when the fuel filter is clogged the fuel pump fuse can blow out well here what he said

TRADE TIPS:
Just because an Fuel Pump Fuse Blows, it doesn't automatically mean there is a short in the wire!
More likely a blocked fuel filter puts an strain onto the pump which returns an extreme high current draw which will blow the standard fuse. A replacement with a higher fuse amp. value will only destroy the pump and pump relay quicker.
