Getting voltage is only half the solution.  You have to verify with a click and a look.  They wear in strange places and yes the voltage is there but the plunger still does not come up to allow fuel in.  

'Ay, but the pump will still pull fuel in the IN bolt and pump fuel out the OUT bolt. Regardless of 12v or not.

Yea pumps hurt but its the heart also. Once they are good they last a long time with clean fuel
Sootys pump took a crap like yours probably about 1000 mi after returning it to service.
