You do not need to put fuel in the tank to test if the pump is working,as you turn the ignition on you should hear the pump 'prime' for 1 -2 secs,then when you fire it up pump should make like a whirring noise to let you know its working.If the car is out of juice then 5 ltrs is more than enough to fire it up back to normal.

I have the same problem - probably not your fuel pump if 12v not present on pin 1 of the plug with six pins that plugs in on top of the fuel tank. Switch ignition on and you should get 12V for first 2 seconds.

It probably the blue/yellow wire or it might be black/red.
