Your pump is inside the tank. You can't use anything external.

tank pump. some cars(not tempos) have an access cover under rear seat for pump. i have made my own access by cutting hole in metal under seat. it's about 10" square/round starting in middle right at hump about 2 inch back from front edge. i dont know if an inline pump could be substituted for tank pump. never tried it.

do you know for sure it's the pump? there is a relay that operates pump that has been known to go bad also.

there's also an inertia (crash) switch in trunk that can trip and turn off pump.
