Sounds like the Fuel Filter Bowl heating element has shorted out. Disconnect it at the at the Filter bowl.. then check all yer Maxi fuses.. under the hood in the Power Distribution box.. Driver side, near the Master cylinder/Brake booster.

its most likely the fuel heater shorting. Unplug it or it will take out another fuse. You dont need it. If you want one, they have better heater elements available.
