I am in the process of building one Ford Ranger from two.

The original Project Ranger was America's attempt to top the Russian's 
Sputnik (put into orbit just months after my birth in 1957) by taking 
close-up photos of the moon. Our first rocket had a fuel tank problem 
and blew up the launch pad.

My project Ranger began last week with a hole in the gas tank of the '92 
I bought from a neighbor for $275. Of course it has other problems but 
not near as many as my '88 which if it was a horse would have been shot 
long ago.

As a mechanic I am a great gardener.

I'll stop my rambling and get to the point. Tank's swapped, the fuel 
pump isn't working apparently. I've replaced the fuel pump relay. Should 
I drop the tank back down and replace the pump? Is there a way to check 
it without pulling it or blowing it up?
