Your fuel pump is located inside of the fuel tank.

Remove the fuel tank. Use a hammer and brass punch to remove the lock ring. Rotate pump lock ring counterclockwise to release the fuel pump. Lift pump assembly out of tank until return line hose connection is visible at intake end of pump assembly.
Disconnect fuel fitting by pressing fuel fitting ears with thumb and forefinger. Remove pump assembly from tank with "O" ring seal. Discard seal and pump inlet filter.

Clean seal contact area of fuel tank. Install a new "O" ring seal on the pump. Install new filter on end of suction tube. Connect reservoir hose to pump assembly at suction end of pump. Position pump in the tank with locking ring. To complete installation, reverse removal procedures. Start engine and check for leaks.
