If you think its the fuel pump, why not pressure test it first. You can use an air pressure gauge. Nothing special, just spend a few dollars at a hardware store for fittings.
What I'd like to do is install a dash mounted fuel pressure gauge, along with an amp gauge, temperature gauge, and a oil pressure gauge that reads more than simply High and Low like the ones I have now. Even knowing how to extrapolate the Hi/Low idiot gauges I already have would be useful. Ford could've just as easily have put meaningful numbers on those gauges. I hate it when the companies making our products arbitrarily assume that their customers neither know nor care what this information means.
As far as pressure testing the fuel pump, apparently I'd have to test it on a continuous basis and be able to have the gauge functioning when it actually failed. You can hear the pump running in the tank, but when it failed I was along a busy highway and couldn't hear anything through all the traffic noise.
