Hi Kevin,
This sounds very strange. I know for a fact that mine doesn't have an
engine driven pump.
Follow the fuel pipe from the injector on the engine and see where it lead.
How are your pumps wired, are thet straight through the pump switch or
through a relay? If through a relay, maybe the contacts got stuck.
It might be worth you wiring an indicator lamp or LED from the connections
on the pump straight back to your panel so you can see if power is getting
to the pump.
Cheers,
Mark.
