What can be causing the relay to get too hot?
You have had a popped fuse, a hot relay, and you've had hot (melted) wires. Any one of them could be a localized problem. All of them together make me think the fuel pump is drawing too much current.

At some point you're going to test the amperage as was suggested in post #4.

A typical GM in-tank fuel pump draws less than 7 amps. 5 to 6.5 is fairly common.
