Sorry my bad try this ...I found this here .
The pump is also inside the FDM.

The Fuel Delivery Module (Image Below) consists of the fuel pump inside a reservoir that is attached to the pump and sender assembly. In a two tank system there is one assembly per tank. The sender assembly handles the switching of the fuel through internal valves. To service the assembly, replace it.

Reservoirs and Filters
Fuel reservoirs are used to prevent fuel flow interruptions during extreme vehicle maneuvers with low tank fill levels. The reservoir is located in-tank and is either moulded or welded into the tank or is part of the Fuel Delivery Assembly.

Filters and Screens
The system contains four filtering or screening devices:
1. The fuel intake sock is a screen located on the intake side of the fuel pump and is part of the fuel pump assembly.
2. The filter screen on the fuel rail port of the injector is part of the fuel injector assembly and cannot be serviced separately.
3. The filter screen on the fuel inlet side of the pressure regulator is part of the fuel pressure regulator assembly and cannot be serviced separately.
4. The fuel filter assembly is located between the fuel pump and the Schrader valve or injectors. This filter should be serviced periodically by replacing it.

Shuttle Selector Valve
The Shuttle Selector Valve opens the return line to the tank when the fuel pressure on the shuttle diaphragm exceeds the opposing spring force. The return flow is directed to the appropriate tank on vehicles equipped with dual tanks.

Supply Check Valve
The Supply Check Valve, which is normally closed, opens when the outlet pressure from the energized pump exceeds the opposing check valve spring force. When the pump is de-energized (i.e., engine is shut off), the supply check valve closes to maintain pump prime and fuel supply line pressure.

Venturi Jet Pump
A portion of the high pressure flow from the pump is diverted to operate the Venturi Jet Pump. The Venturi Pump draws fuel from the tank into the assembly. This process ensures an adequate fuel supply to the pump during extreme vehicle maneuvers and steep vehicle attitudes with low-tank fuel fill levels.

The inlet of the Venturi Pump has a nylon filter on it to prevent dirt and other particulate matter from entering the system. Water in the fuel tank can pass through the filter in small quantities.

I'm actually thinking it's a clogged switching valve for the tanks
