I had this similar problem with my DeLorean. Water had gotten on top of the 
fuel pump and corroded the contacts where the wires are attached. Although I 
had no problems I replaced the pump and the rubber sealing ring. The fuel 
pump outer cover shrinks with age and causes water to be able to penetrate to 
the top of the pump. No water had gotten into the tank and the sealing ring 
was still tight and like new. I would highly recommend checking your outer 
top cover to the pump to see the top of the pump where the two wires connect 
with nuts. If there is water there it will be corroded and it is only a 
matter of time before you will encounter problems.
