Nah, it should come on to pressurize the fuel system then turn off. But when the engines running I think it's pretty much on constantly.

Difficult to speculate...but possibly could be the fuel pump relay? (little black box with spade connectors coming out of it)
..I think you should be able to hear it click when you turn the key, if you can't then it's knackered.

So the fuel pump relay clicks? Ok, then get your multi-meter and test to see if you have power coming out of it. You basically just gotta follow the power until you find out where it's being stopped, then you find your fault! It's all fun and games :/

Fuel pump doesn't prime on xe. Only works when you crank it.
