Please explain how you are using the 30amp relay?
All I see are OEM wires in you pics. Those wires will not support 30amps and this would be the reason why they are hot.

There is 2 wires tapping out from the original fuel pump wires to the relay socket.

Ok, the problem is that you are using an aftermarket pump on the stock wiring system. Those wires are gauged high enough for the current the pump is pulling.

The factory fuel pump wiring may not be sufficient to handle the current draw of the Aeromotive 340
Stealth pump. To achieve the advertised flow at pressure, the use of an aftermarket wiring kit such as
Aeromotive P/N 16301, including 10-gauge wire and a direct alternator supply point, is required.

If you can't follow that then you should take it to someone who can do it.

That pump would be wired the same.......a pump has pos and neg leeds......
No offense but I think you should find someone who understands it and can install it.

i'm sure that i preach this too much, but standard hard rewire kits have their own issues. since the pump runs full time at full voltage, this causes 1) fuel pressure overrun at idle and totally messes up idle tune, 2) causes fuel pump to heat up faster, 3) wears out the pump faster.
if i were you, i'd figure out what's causing your stock wiring to overheat, fix that, and then do a fuel pump wiring supplement as i describe in:
