I used a Carter mechanical fuel pump M60136 listed for a Mercury Capri 2.6 V6 (the inlet and outlet tubes are larger than those on the stock pump but it works well with the 1/4 fuel line) when my OEM fuelpump's diaphragm developed a leak. As far as the gas tank, when I first got the car (it had sat in a garage for eight years without being run, what I found was that the fuel line was blocked at the tank's connection point. To correct this I positioned the car with the passenger side in an uphill position after I suctioned out the old gas. Then I slid the passenger seat forward disconnected the seatbelt warning wire and removed the seat. I lifted the covering material, disconnected the line at the tank while reaching in and using a flashlight. I then used a small piece of wire to unplug the sediment that had collected there and was preventing the gas from flowing to the fuel pump. I also installed a new fuel filter and an accelerator pump diaphragm from Niehoff CK489A carburetor kit since it had dried up and was not working. If you wish to test your fuel pump run an extended length of gas line from the inlet (gas tank end) of the pump out the wheel well venting to a small container of gas away from the car. Best to have a fire extinguisher handy for safety sake. Good luck!
