you bring up a very important subject there. when you replace a fuel pump (in tank) you MUST have fuel in it before turning on the pump. I saw pictures of a shop (at least it used to be a shop) where a tech did it wrong. he turned the key on with an empty tank. the building is gone, tools gone, techs badly burned, customer vehicles destroyed. since that I ALWAYS disconnect the battery until I know for a fact the pump is submerged in fuel.
