Check that the hose in the fuel tank hasn't split or the hose clamps are tight enough. I suggest that you change this hose with new clamps. I know it's a pain to remove the pump again and check, but i've had 2 seperate cars do this to me. If you want to check without removing the pump again, put a fuel pressure guage in the rail and start the car. It should read around 40psi. Any lower and you could have a fuel leak in the tank.

P.S. The second hand pump could be faulty too. Should put new one in there not that expensive.
