Every 928 owner is REQUIRED to own a 12 volt tester.

1) Check for 12 volts at terminal 30 of relay XX. If you have 12 volts, 
insert a jumper to terminal 87. (Note - It is a very good idea to have this 
jumper in the glove box at all times.)
2) Remove fuse #42, twist the legs very slightly, and reinsert. Check the 
pump.
3) If the pump doesn't run, check for 12 volts on both of the tiny dots on 
the end of fuse #42. If you have no power on fuse #42, there is a problem 
behind the central power panel.
4) If you have power on fuse #42, but no pump noise, remove the cover under 
the rear bumper cover, and check for 12 volts on the red/green wire. If you 
have power on the red/green wire, check for ground on the brown wire. If 
you have 12 volts and ground on the pump and it doesn't run, replace the 
pump. I doubt that both pumps died at the same instant, so you probably 
have a power problem.

Nice and informative page.  Me thinks I need to peruse you website some
more.  That would be a better and refined version of the plain piece of
wire I used to get home.  However, your fuel pump relay is above and to
the left of the location in an 83.  Wally built a deluxe model that looks
like this:

And of course I took the time to take a picture, but not build it.  Doh!!
