If those pumps are spinning they should be pumping fuel. I have burned up motors, but have never lost the pump itself. You said you can see air/fumes coming out with the hose disconnected and the pump running? I had a very similar situation happen and it turned out that there was a hole in the pickup line that was just large enough to keep the pump from being able to pull fuel.

Also, those pumps usually have a screen inside the body on the suction side. You have to pull the whole cover plate to see it. It is possible that the screen is plugged up.
