What fuel pump are you running?
There needs to be about 2" of clearance between the top of the lid and the bottom of the access panel to use that fuel safe connector.
You should run an amp test at low voltage and high psi if you can to see what the pump is pulling for A and make a decision from there which fuse to use..... for some reason I thought this was an FC. FWIW my Supra pump is pulling like 12A @ 11V and 45-50psi.
For that connector to melt like that, it seems that is the symptom, not the problem, and you need to find the problem. Check the gnds, and don't ask how I know that.

I see burnt up plugs like that constantly. Its caused by a loose connection as in one of the pins is pulled a little too far back in the connector and not making good contact. The electricity then arcs across like a spark plug gap and starts melting the plug.
