I have a 1998 Landrover Discovery that needs to have its fuel pump replaced. I need to know where the fuel pump is located, in the tank or on top of the tank in the cabin.

look for power at the fuel pump connector at the fuel pump in the fuel tank (the wire that should have power when the engine is running or cranking over is White and Purple (maybe White and Pink, I can't remember). These cars also have a fuel pump inertia switch (a crash protection device, if it fails the fuel pump looses power), located passenger side rear of the engine compartment, same type used on Jaguars seen the fail, just press the button on top of the inertia switch to reset it or temporarily bridge the two wires and see if the engine now starts. Fuel pump relay is behind the right front kick panel at passenger right foot well.
the fuel pump is internal in the tank,you have to lift the carpet in the book and there is a round plate in the middle of the boot undo the screws/bolts and this will be the top of the pump,undo the electrics andthe fuel lines makeing sure to remember which pipe goes to where undo the bolts holding the pump into the tank lift out of tank and replace everything in reverse,
I'm assuming you mean the injector pump and not the fuel lift pump. I would recommend if the fuel injector pump is proved to be the fault to look at Ebay for a replacement. there are thousands of these engines broken for spares. Fitting the pump can be a bit tricky. If it's the lift pump you need to remove the fuel tank as the pump is fitted on the top side of the tank and is an internal unit, Best done when the tank is empty. Hope this helps as i'm sure your landrover will still be running when a Jeep is in the dump. All the best.
first disconect fuel lines then drop the tank down on the ground fuel pump is on the top pull fuel pump out drop new one in,need to change fuel pump relay when replaceing fuel pump relay is under hood in the fuse box.
does it have fuel pressure? to find this out get a can of spray starter fluid from a auto parts store, spray it into the engine air intake, if the engine starts you most likely need to replace the fuel pump which is located in the fuel tank.
