One way to find out is to depress the Schrader valve core to see if fuel comes out. If the system is up to pressure the pump may not run when the key is initially turned on.
I absolutely tried manually depressing the stem and zero fuel. Nada.

In the words of Ted Striker.........

What a pisser.........
