How do cars with gas tanks beneath and in front of the rear axle easily replace a fuel pump without removing the tank? They solve the same problem. Cars have fuel pumps and gas gauge inside the gas tank. Pump and gauge (at least on better cars) must be replaceable without removing the gas tank. Same solution can be installed on a truck.
But again, the confusing question is why they still want a pump on the engine - dependent on vacuum to provide fuel?
From your picture, I saw nice headlights.
