At this point if you would like to perhaps keep that external fuel pump I'd probably just use the existing wire to the in-tank pump to control a power relay or solenoid. Break the connection to the in-tank pump so it's no longer in the circuit. And of course pick up good power somewhere with a fused line back to that relay / solenoid. Maybe just wire up that arrangement laying out on the ground to prove it will work before doing a neat and proper "harness" job onto that chassis.
As a quick troubleshooting check, why not electrically reconnect just your in-tank pump and see whether power is maintained there while attempting to start the engine. (Of course the defective pump will not provide fuel to actually start the engine.)
Good luck with the problem. I'd be interested in finding out how you finally get your rig up and running again.
