    Hook it up to a 12 volt source and let it run for awhile. If it seems ok, then use it.

    Wouldn't you want to have it flowing fuel for this test, like maybe pumping in a return loop back to the tank? I would wonder about running it dry for any extended period of time.....might be good when you start but ruined by the test?

    I'd check it as you described to ensure that it works and if so I'd plumb it in along with a regulator and fuel pressure gauge.
