Simple starting problem E500 2005

Strong starter turnover. No fuel. Inject a little starter fluid and briefly fires. checked fuel pump relay in trunk fuse box by shorting wire in socket contacts. Instant start and $15. relay cured at 91,000 miles. I assume one of 2 fuel pumps would run engine if one failed? That fuel pumps good for more than 100k miles?

This problem not exactly identified by MBZ fault analyzer.
