You only have one fuel pump in this tank. This is called a saddle tank and if you look at the labeling for number 8, that is actually just a fuel level sensor. Both sides have sensors but the passenger side is the only one with a pump.

Take a look at the info below and you will see that it talks about this where each half of the tank is equipped with a sensor. This means that the fuel pump pulls from both sides of the tank as it has a connection between the two reservoirs.

Please run through this and let me know what questions you have.
