    The fuel pump is located in the gas tank and is submerged in fuel, there is a "sock style filter" at the bottom of the pump assembly. Either the fuel pump assembly or gas tank sender unit is bad, Both assemblies are in the same housing and are accessed by removing the rear seat and getting into the gas tank through a hatch on top of the tank.
