Well actually I was not talking about the wiring i was referring to the fuel lines themselves, but now that you mention it if your wiring was backwards then your pump would spin backwards and that would also cause a problem, and most likely burn up your pump in no time flat. They are lubricated and cooled by the fuel, so do not allow the pump to remain on too long in it's current state.
I'm not quite sure what you meant to say on the wiring, but it sounds like you might have them hooked up backwards. It's black to black and red to grey. You almost never cross black wires with other colors, just FYI. If so then you found your problem.
Hope this helps,
Mike
