smack it with a hammer! seriously though maybe try tappin on the tank. i wonder if it sends a ground to start it and maybe the wire is cut and resting on the frame or something. have had a similar problem in the past with a inline fuel pump

The wiring to the pump must be shorted to power somewhere. The fuel pump relay provides +12V to the pump. If this shorts to power, the pump will run continuously provided that it has shorted to a continuous power source.
