When my fuel pump stopped working it was the wiring on one of the plastic connectors. Got towed to a Subaru dealer and they fixed it - I beleive it was the one under the back seat - it had burnt out or something. Was intermittant for a few weeks before that but finally gave up the ghost leaving me stranded in some dodgy area of North London!

make sure you havent got a clifford alarm with wireless fuel guard- otherwise known as "that piece of **** that always dies" ...
MY local cliford dealer actually refuses to sell replacment WFG now as they ALWAYS die within the waranty period apparently and its costing the clifford dealer a fortune! LOL

I spent a while tracing all kinds of esoteric behaviour that boiled down to the WFG.
