we've been having some major trouble with our fuel pump, and we would like to know what the steps to fix it ourselves would be. it's located outside the gas tank so we were hoping we could fix it ourselves. is this even possible? if you can give us any advice on this, or any links to other sites that could help, that would be awesome.
     much appreciation,
