Hi John, I trust this will help:
1) Fuel pump is located on the EXTERIOR of the
rear bulkhead of the body. The large fuel filter is
immediately below it. If you jack up the rear of the
car and look underneath from the rear, you can't
miss it. You can easily test the fuel pump to see if it
operating by connecting test leads to it from the
battery located in the trunk (boot).
2) The fuel pump reset switch is located at the rear of
the left inner fender, adjacent and below the clutch
master cylinder. It should be a black square box with
a round plunger switch at the top. Ensure the plunger
in the fully down position. Try cycling it up and down.
This is not a particularly well designed unit for the rather
hellish environment of a TR8 engine bay. IF THE PUMP IS
NOT WORKING GO HERE FIRST. Jump the leads on the
unit and see if your pump starts. These units do go
gunnysack. Make sure you are cranking your engine
when you test with jumped leads.
3) The "serving" fuel pump. I am sorry but I don't know
what you mean here. Are you asking for a part number?
Fuel pressure requirements?
4) Removing the fuel tank. Do you have a ROM for this
vehicle? If not, I might suggest getting one. Off hand,
I don't remember the operational sequence for removing
and re-installing a fuel tank for an injection car. Is yours
leaking or damaged in some way? Why do you want to
remove it? I can probably scan of fax a copy of the ROM
instructions to you.
