The fuel pump relay is what turns on the fuel pump when you start your car and powers it down when you shut off the ignition.

Is the fuel pump OK?
Though electrical components (such as a fuel pump) can spark and ignite fuel vapors, liquid fuel will not explode (see flammability limit) and therefore submerging the pump in the tank is one of the safest places to put it. In most cars, the fuel pump delivers a constant flow of gasoline to the engine; fuel not used is returned to the tank.
