Default Fuel Pump Priming issue

Alright so driving to work yesterday morning, the fox drove perfectly, after getting out of my morning meeting, wouldn't start...she wasn't priming, so to get home quick i used the rubber mallet to the gas tank method and worked like a charm, this is obviously a temporary quick fix solution, so i was curious to what the permanent fix would be, would i have to swap the fuel pump out?

if banging on the tank worked, then yes, most likely the pump is bad.
