Well if they are sure the pump has power but wont turn,then its faulty and MUST be replaced!This is the right thing to do.
Only after the pump is working 100% will it provide the necessary flow of fuel to injectors ,so they are right also to say that these have to be checked.Without the pump ,they will not be able to check the rest of the fuel system after the pump.
What they are really saying is that they are not sure if the rest is ok.
I am sorry but after what you said ,they dont seem very trustworthy,especially as they also told you the fault could be a bad gauge reading and you run out of petrol,yet when you filled up with 5 ltrs,the gauge went up...
Also ,its weird why they would say you need to run the car with over 1/4 tank full....
You just need to be sure that they are telling you the truth about the pump being faulty!Go there and identify the pump and mark it if you can and then demand they give you the old pump.
Good luck but be weary,ok
