The pump is in the fuel tank. See pic 1. You will need to remove the tank to replace it. Note: This information is for the 1989 Mitsubishi Mirage which is what took the Lancer's place.

Here are the directions for pump replacement. I will include tank removal after this. The attached pics correlate with the directions.
