I would more suspect it is the anti slosh baffle inside tank (see picture) that has broken up as all do, interfering with the fuel level arm at times.
The problem is that the fuel pump has to be removed to be able to pull the baffle out so then you are back yo the conundrum, do I replace the pump assembly when it is already out?
It has been pumps failing at 80K miles and it has been pumps lasting 160K miles so it is no formula for when they are due.
If your mechanic has a labscope with milli amp clamp he can check the status of pump brushes and commutator to a certain degree and it could give a hint if it is on it's last leg or not but the science with that test is not fool proof.
