Testing fuel pump assembly before installing

I have an 1987 ford f150, dual tanks, 4.9, regular fuel and 2X4. How can i test my fuel pump assembly, before i install it?? Under FTE search I found

Checking the fuel pump assembly fuel pump, use a set of jumpers and a battery, and a bit of hose. Place a hose onto the output of the assembly, and immerse the strainer/pick up into a pail of non flamable, varsol and connect the jumpers to the battery and pump. Quote

Can i use diesel fuel to test the assembly, non flamble?? To test the assembly do i need to ground the pump unit, how? I have a four pin connecter two wires to the strainer ( red and black), one black wire to the float and one empty pin, is that the ground??
