No. Your vehicle only has one pump, but it is called a saddle tank, so it has a second access cover in case you need to access the other side of the tank.

If the vehicle only stalled one time, then more likely the fuel pump is starting to fail but we need to find this out by checking the pressure when this happens again.

Clearly, we don't want to guess at it but here are some guides that will help with this:

Please see the attached info for the pump as well.

Let us know what questions you have.

Thanks
