Default Can you hear the fuel pump in your HSW fuel cell?

Last week, my HSW fuel cell was installed. I ended the Dyno session because fuel was leaking from the tube covering the electric wires. I called and it was explained that I shouldn't have topped off the fuel. I removed some fuel. Inside the cell, I can visibly see red and black wire that will be wet most of the time. MY PROBLEM: the tubing saturated my relay. I replaced the relay and blow dried the connectors. Now I'm scared that the fuel pump isn't running. I'm also concerned because I replaced the relay because it was saturated with gas; but, in theory, if it's ok for the wires to be bathed in fuel inside the cell then the relay shouldn't matter. So, short of reapplying a guage How can I tell that it's on.

Pull a line off and see if it is pumping fuel. This is basic stuff.

I can hear mine real good with the engine not running. You should be able to. You can also run it with the top off and see and hear that it's working.
