The fuel pump is inside the gas tank. Drain the fuel from the tank and remove the tank from the vehicle.

You need to drop the fuel tank to get at it-

The Fuel Pump (FP) module (Figure 66), (Figure 67) and (Figure 68) is a device that contains the fuel pump and sender assembly. The fuel pump is located inside the FP module reservoir and supplies fuel through the FP module manifold to the engine and FP module jet pump. The jet pump continuously refills the reservoir with fuel, and a check valve located in the manifold outlet maintains system pressure when the fuel pump is not energized. A flapper valve located in the bottom of the reservoir allows fuel to enter the reservoir and prime the fuel pump during the initial fill.
