Fuel pump fuse blew

Recommended Posts

Shortly after starting my G60 this morning, there was a burning smell and smoke coming from the fusebox area. I decided to keep going till I got to somewhere safe, I eventually pulled over and after a few seconds the car died and wouldn't start. I soon noticed the fuel pump wasn't priming, so I checked out the fuse and it was rather melted so say the least, luckily it hadn't damaged the fuse box it's self. So I swapped it over for a new one and I was off.

 

What would cause it to blow like that? My only idea was that because I only had a little fuel in the tank and the very very cold wether today could have caused the fuel to become slighlty thicker and the pump was having trouble sucking enough up. I have had a similar problem before, it was on a very cold night at first start and the fuse blew near enough instantly.

 

Could that be it?
