fuel problems

Ok i have a 2000 mustang gt and yesterday i go out for ride and i notice that i have about a quater of a tank so i go fill it up and drive around. I go run to a few places and then next thing i know it begins to act fuel starved so i pull over and it dies. I pop open the hood and the fuse for the fuel pump is blown. i changed it and got back on the road well it does it again so i put another fuse in and bring it to the shop. Well the minute i get the the repair shop the fuel pump quits completely. :damnit: So we change out the tank with a new fuel pump from a mach1 and put a few gallons of gas in and it starts right back up. I took it up and down the road and brought it up to 110mph no problem go back to the shop and cleaned it up and i was back on my way. I stopped off at the gas station to fill it up AGAIN!, I leave the station and not even and 8th of a mile down the road it pops a fuse again.

My question is could it be a relay gone bad?

sounds like a short to ground


a bad relay will cause a no start and won't blow a fuse

yo bud...you gots a short to ground most likely. a bad rely as stated above will not cause a fuse to be blown.(at least i have never seen one ) dont rule out anything though. i would maybe look to see if any other relays match that one and swap them around and see if your problem persists. there is a common factor here though. it seems to be happening right after you fill it up. right?? So, let the guys know this at the shop you go to and see if they cant pinpoint some kind of problem. This electrical stuff is hard to do when i dont have a wiring diagram along with the car right in front of me..u know If you get more info and still no answer put it on the forum so we can try to help out man. and good luck..i hate electrical problems :SNSign:

your not the only one that hates electrical problems. im pretty much at the point of stripping out the car and and putting in the basic electrical and make the thing carburated. haha, but yes it only happens when i put a full tank in
