I have purchased this vehicle not running, supposedly
it has been sitting for about 1 year in an open space condition. I suspect a fuel problem. Cranks fine, has spark at plugs, though no smell of gas whatsoever in the engine compartment. The tank was drained and 8 gals of gas put back in. Where is the fuel pump and filter located, and can I check for fuel dispersment at the engine. ( dont seem to find fuel lines going to motor. Thank you,

fuel pump is in the gas tank but is very easy to change. remove the rear cover over the filler neck to access the fuel pump. check for power at the gray wire when cranking over engine. if you have power then the pump is bad. also to check for fuel pressure there is a fuel schraeder valve on the fuel rail on the intake manifold.
