Default old-skool pink fuel relay problems!!!

hi can anyone help me out on this old-skool problem?? my fuel pump relayand moreover the fuse on the side of it gets very hot, to the point where the old relay eventually got slightly melted and i broke down! i have since fitted the perfectly good relay off a friends car, which has now got some slight heat damage around the output terminal and the fuse holder is beginning to look slightly melted!! aaargh the car is a 2.8i Sierra XR4, same bosch system as all your xr3i's etc. I have measured the resistance on the wiring and its virtually nothing, iv cleaned the fuel pump terminals and replaced the rotten connectors with female bullet connectors crimped up nice n tight. could the pump be drawing too much current? (surely that would blow the fuse??) any knowledge or experience of this situation would be much appreciated all
