Relay wouldn't kill the pumps i wouldnt have thought (would cause spluttering etc tho if on its last legs)... anyway i would have thought if you'd gone to the trouble of doing voltage tests, you would have tested the relay

have you changed the fuel filter recently??
If this is full of crap then id imagine it would be a problem getting fuel through also could burn out the pink relay, id think.
