Hello XXXXXXX,You can remove the rear seat and lift the insulation and metal cover on the passenger side and listen for the pump as you are cranking the engine.You can also remove the fuel line and turn the ignition to start and see if any fuel is pumped.

The fuel pump is on the passenger side and the tank is not under pressure.The only thing you might encounter is some fuel spillage if the tank is completely full.

There is a second fuel level sender on the rtight side.It use two senders since there are two sumps.There should be two lines going into the fuel filter.One is a supply line the other is a return.The return runs to the drivers side.
