I [was in] a slow climb when I noticed my right engine running roughly and fluctuations in the fuel pressure. I began to become preoccupied with babying the engine; enriching the mixture; turning on the boost pump; reducing power; etc. I was distracted during this time and may have inadvertently made an incursion while climbing into the floor of Class B airspace in the next two sectors; 5;000 MSL and 6;000 MSL respectively. I leveled off at 6;500 MSL after clearing all shelves of Class B airspace and realized I had not been aware of my altitudes at those points. Upon arriving at [destination] my right engine failed completely. The mechanic confirmed a broken off intake fitting to the fuel pump and fuel was leaking out extensively.
A BE55 pilot became distracted dealing with engine problems which was a factor in a Class B intrusion. The engine failed completely on arrival at destination.
