Re: Fuse for the fuel pump keeps burning out on 1988...
Check to make sure that the connector is in tight and also for broken wires .Make sure the ground is tight.If it still blows the fuse there is probably a short in the pump and it has to be replaced.

I don't think it has a fuse.....The sender for the gage is integrated into the fuel pump assy. the 1988 is probably ready for a fuel pump....This will probably correct the gage problem....I have an 1988 accord, the pump is accessible through a removable panel in the trunk.....I think the civic has to drop the tank.....Just use the odometer to keep from running out of gas....just base Your MPG on 30 miles per gallon to be safe..........
check all ur fuses for continuity first, then u can also try to swap out ur fuel pump relay with another relay that looks jus like it, be sure to use a relay like for ur horn or ac relay something that wont affect necessary or direct engine circuits like for ex. an ecm fuse or bcm fuse. if fuses r good an swappin relays wont work, next is to trace bak from fuel pump ur wires an possibly keep back probing to see if u have a broken wire from relay box to pump . good luck hope this was helpful . in ur fusebox ur fuelpump fuse should b labeled or easily found in fuse box legend, most likely on bak of fusebox cover....
It sounds like you may have burned out your fusable link. It's a special wire that comes off the starter solennoid and is designed to burn off in the event of an overload. DO NOT REPLACE IT WITH REGULAR WIRE, THIS IS A LEADING CAUSE OF CAR FIRES.
You will want to check for what caused the overload condition that caused the fusable link to burn out in the first place.
Pretty sure you need a new fuel pump, it may be shorting out inside or seizing up drawing too much current blowing your fuse. There easy to change, if you need info on R & R a fuel pump get back to me.
