blowin lots of fuses

[ShoreMan]

my truck wasnt starting the other day and i came to find out (due to the org) that it was my #30 fuse to the fuel heater. well this morning i go from my lane to pull in to the garage and load my truck. i get in to start it and it does the same thing so i look at the fuse and its blown, no biggie i have a pack of them. then after i blew 5 30A fuses in a row i give up. does anyone know why it would blow five in a row like that?

the fuel heater is shorting out. their bad to have the element break lose from its connections, and short against the fuel bowl housing itself. Unplug it at the fuel bowl, or replace the heater. Depending on your location, its not really needed.

check your body grounds...rust or the white crusty stuff increase the resistance, more resistance means higher amps or more heat in the wire

could you give me a quick walk thru of how to do it? (where it all is, and what exactly there is to do?) i was gonna go pick up moms christmas present but now i cant and i would like to kinda suprise my dad and have it fixed up before he gets home

There is an electrical connector on the bottom, backside of the fuel filter housing, just unplug it and see if it quits blowing fuses.
