I would say that normally you don't have to worry about fuel tank level with the petrol engines.

Great! Thanks to your better half for literally lending a hand. I thought the pump would be ok; they rarely if ever give trouble.

I was going to suggest that, following the "ignition on" pump priming test, you could follow up with the cranking test. If the pump fails to operate during cranking then the crankshaft position sensor circuit is where you should look.

But start with following T-Cut's advice on ensuring that the filter canister is tight and suitably clipped.
