Then there's either a bad ground on the pump, or the wiring is starting to wear, possibly crack and arc. Quite likely in a car of this age.

Of course, it could generally be bad grounding in the entire car. You'd really have to test the wiring to find out. Just because it's the pump fuse that blows, doesn't follow that the problem is necessarily the pump.
