Default Help with A8 non start issue

Guys, as you know, I have bought an A8 with a non-start issue. When I got to the sellers’ home, he tried the key – and it cranked up and ran for just under ten minutes, he had been trying to start it for a fortnight with no luck, I believe when he got in the car and applied some throttle it spluttered and died, the car has half a tank of fuel.

I’ve now got the car home; have replaced the ignition switch (which was knackered) and put in another 20 litres of fuel, every time I try to start the car, it blows the fuel pump fuse straight away.

The ex owner had just fitted a new fuel pump, the car also now has about ¾ of fuel in the tank, so what could it be?

Is it a badly fitted fuel pump, wiring? If so, could someone please get me Elsa instructions on how to take out and fit the pump in properly?

Thanks in advance guys.
