Don't forget to find the reason why it blew and fix the cause, or it will just happen again...

Almost certainly the pump that is blowing the fuse. Just had the same problem and had to replace the pump

Might be worth the effort to try and clean the pump motor. Few guys in finnish Citroen-forum have done that and say the pump works like a charm afterwards.
In Finland we have this thing called Reilu Meininki
