It's in the gas tank. You need to remove the back seat to get your hands on it.

wrong...you need to drop the tank to get to the fuel pump. i had a similar problem...it was the pick up tube where the filter bag is. is wasnt long enough. sometimes the aftermarket fuel pumps they send you dont have the correct attachments.
if you only have 1/4 tank, then drop it without draining it. it will be ok.
use a jack.

Yeah, my memory failed me, I'm getting old.

Some generations were like that though.

Or if were the fuel pump pickups fuel is rusted, fuel won't accumulate there and when the fuel level is low it won't pickup fuel and the engine will shut off. If you are going downhill or take a corner/curve fast it will also happen.

Before replacing the pump remove the tank and check it, the problem could be it not the pump.
