Re: how do i check fuel pump

Another possibility is that running the tank empty has washed all the sediment in the tank ont the fuel pickup (sock filter). and prevented any fresh fuel from even getting into the pump. If it does, you may also have slugged the inline fuel filter with this same sediment and debris.

Don't condemn the fuel pump until you have diagnosed the problem fully.
