Check fuel filter for blockage and I guess you tested the pumps are getting power to them and the pumps are plumbed up the right way.

do the pumps need to be primed before fitting at all?

In my experience with VK's, no priming is necessary.

The VK 6 only uses one pump.

Referring to the first post [if its a v8]...

It will have a relay under the bonnet [I think] that powers the fuel pump up under the floor pan between the fuel tank and the diff housing.

Sometimes they stop working.

Can you hear the fuel pump tick over a few ticks when you turn the key.
