If you are safe remove the connection cover on the pump and sniff and see if it smells burnt.
If not, then connect the pump to a seperate supply fused at 3 Amps and run it like that and see if that blows.
The boiler fuse should be 3 Amps! The smallest mains MCB is 6 Amps!
Methinks you may have a 13 Amp fuse in the supply to the boiler ?
