Default A strange one ?

A friend of mine has a standard series 2 rs turbo he's just had a new fuel tank fitted as it failed its mot because if it being rusted through.He had the car back for afew days with everything running spot on then it just conked out on him and wouldnt fire up again so he got towed home.I went down the next day to have a butchers and see if there was any thing i could do he turned the ignition on and the pump didnt prime so i thought straight away it was the relay so i took the vent out shone a torch down there so i could see and there wasnt one.Strange i thought so i stuck my hand up there to see if it had come of the metal bracket but it hadnt there was no wires or anything i did find a bluey coloured one but no purple could this blue one be the pump relay if not where else could it be ?
