Don't know if the new pump is the cause of your problem, the melting fuse rail happens to every 2nd VL I see.

The bigger pump need more power to run it, U might b ok to just wack in a 20A fuse, but u should run heavier wiring to the pump and relay aswell. My 2 vl's i've had have both melted around the A/C fuse....

You need to run a 12v relay for your 044 run original power to aux on relay direct battery voltage to main on relay, and your earth, then to fuel pump. this is the only way to properly run a bosh motorsport pump as they draw alot of current. hope that helps, worked for me 3 times now.
