Fuel pump advice

[snoop]

To all sifus all there,My e36 could't start at all and found out by mechanic it is fuel pump problem. He manage to get it started, but how can you tell whether it is relay or fuel pump problem? I ask him he said fuel pump problem. Hv't got it fix yet but still manage to start the car. So my question is if fuel pump problem do you think it is save to drive to mechanic and will not stall half way? Is it fuel pump or relay problem?I don't hv a consistant mechanic to service my car, but I know I hv been slaugter here n there cos i am lady vulnerable n gullible it may seemsb . Thanks in advance for any inputs.

If he got the car started by connecting the battery direct to the pump at the back using additional wire, then the pump could be okay.

If he brought an extra pump and installed it, then maybe the pump is faulty.

In any case and as pussy said, we need more info.
