No the pump is not active until the ignition is turned to the start position. When engine fires and current is detected from alternator start position is disabled, by a polarity reversal pump relay is held in directly from alternator.

Do a current check on the pump, it has been put up on the forum a few times.

Aye 15mpg is a bit grim for a diesel. However, I can't see a duff in tank pump causing that. I had a similar problem a few years ago on a diesel. Providing you kept the tank above a quarter, it started and ran fine. Below this, difficult to start and used to cut out going round bends. Fuel consumption was always Ok though at around 22mpg knocking about.

You can check pump is working and it's output by following the procedure outlined in Rave. It depends what sort of town you live in also. Lots of hills, stop start in traffic and at lights and 15 mpg if your heavy on the throttle is about right. Usually if pump is not working there is a distinct lack of power especially on hills.

It depends how hard your pushing the loud pedal at the time.
