Bad fuel pump?

Just because it was replaced a year ago doesn't guarantee that it's not the pump.

Did you put in a a genuine Ford pump, or an aftermarket model? I've heard a few
horror stories about the quality of some aftermarket pumps sold through certain
autoparts chains.

the pump is a ford pump and not an aftermarket one.this just started
happening this week when i was at 1/4 of a tank of fuel,then when i filled
up,it wouldnt blow again until my fuel ran to 1/4 again.but when i filled
up this morning,it blew after about 5 miles.

And with that I'll say it sounds like the pump is over heating.
It's scary sounding but being immersed in gasoline keeps it cool.

Just by chance have you checked the wireing it self, coulf be a connection
rubbing on body causing a short or maybe a bare wire along the frame. I'd do
a continuity check on pump as well as the wiring. Hope this helps some..

Bad fuel pump.

This is really neat...... "it's this".... "it's that"..... without one
single diagnostic step being performed...... Yep... there are a LOT of
things it could be.... But without some sort of diagnostic process, someone
will be doomed to changing parts until they find the bad part....

If the fuse blows regularly and predicatbly, there should be no problem
finding the cause... but you do need to be smarter than the fuse.
