This is a hard one, fuel pumps do not last forever, and its the same for the relay. if there is 12 getting through to the pump and it is not running,then the relay is OK, if there is no 12v going to the pump,then it is the relay.

Pumps can often be restored by putting deisel in the pump part and running backwards.
