How can you turn the fuel pump back on in a VW after running out of gas?
[Edit]

Answer

Need to know what model VW you speak of. Electric fuel pumps rely on the fuel to keep them from overheating. It is possible your pump was damaged when you ran out. Assuming it is okay, the VW's I am familiar with use a pump relay that is triggered by the ignition coil. In order to run the pump without the engine running you must remove this relay and jumper the contacts between the pump and battery source. Sorry I cannot provide the exact answer.
