Well your car will stop running for starters. I've lost a couple of fuel pumps in cars that I've owned and I've never really gotten any warning, they usually just up and quit. What symptoms is your car displaying?

one time my car just died while i was driving down the road. it woudln't start so i started my diagnosis. i checked spart plugs. everything got fire so then i cheched for gass. it wasn't getting gass so i just got a screw driver and banged on my fuel pump. it started right up so i guess my fuel pump is going out. if your pump is bad you can try to bang on it like i did. if that doesn't help and you need to buy a new one, advance auto has a great high performance holley fuel pump. it is less expensive than a stock fuel pump and you get better performance.
