FASS blowing fuses

[Rat_Power_78]

I have a Platinum (150 I believe) on my 99 24v installed using the harness they sent with the pump. I have had it on the truck for around a year now, and out of nowhere it decided to blow a fuse. From the factory it had a 15 amp, so I tried a 20, but that blew too. I pulled the filter, even though it only had about 6k miles on it, but still no luck. Finally a 30 amp fuse made it run. Does this mean my pump is failing? Im not ok with just upsizing the fuse and calling it fixed.

I know I have an air dog but I was having the same problem and I changed out the pump and it's been good since.

Have you made sure all your electrical connections are clean, battery, relay, harness etc..?

Yes connections are all good, wiring appears to be good, all protected and secured. The whole system has been on a year to a year and a half, roughly 6000 miles. I didnt expect a failure this quick, now I'm worried I will be replacing my VP again...

There are only a few reasons the single filter Platinum system would pop a fuse. The first is a really bad restriction pre pump which is unlikely unless you still have the original in line filter in between the tank and pump. The second would be a piece of debris stuck in the gear. The third would be something going bad in the motor.
