i'll preface my remarks by admitting i'm talking out of my ass here, so...

your fuel pump is built into the fuel tank so when it goes, it should pretty much just cause the engine to stall for lack of fuel. i can't imagine a bad one would flood the engine. fuel injectors should stop the engine from flooding, along with egas monitoring everything...

when the pump goes, it usually makes some noise. did you notice any odd / loud noises while you were driving before this happened? did you have any issues with starting the car - kind of like you were out of gas...

go down there and ask them to show you the fuel pump relay (the fuse) if they can't find it or show it to you then it's time to get it somewhere else. this is the first thing i would check before replacing the pump itself.
