Heres some tips
-If it is the fuel pump dont throw it away it might be possible that some parts have gotten locked up, Hard to explain but i read about there being a sort of part that can spin if this wont spin on its own its jammed unjam it.
-if your pump is totally gone still dont throw it away give it to autozone they can give you a discount if you buy a new one and bring in the old one this works with a few z stores
-its a good idea to replace the fuel filter along with the pump
But anyways this reminds me of a time we used ether to move my brothers van my stepdad was on the hood spraying it into the intake and we managed to move it onto our sloped driveway
