don't use a bigger fuse.

i've had your same chassis/pump for well over a year with no negative side effects.

Get yourself a relay. Run a thick gauge wire (8 possibly?) from the battery to your fuel pump through the relay. Use the signal from your ECU to power the relay.

Your fuel pump will love you
