Fuel Pump fuse blows. Why?

The 10amp FP fuse blows after driving my car a short distance. What could be the cause? Do I need to replace the fuel pump? What should I test?

Is there anything else that goes out when the fuse blows?
If there is, the prob may not be the pump.

No. Just the Fuel Pump. The label for the fuse is "FR" not "FP".

Fuel Pump is pulling to much current, there is nothing else on that circuit.
