On my '91 F150, it's bolted to the firewall, left of the brake pedal, just above a large wiring loom that passes through the firewall to the engine compartment.

hi well it not that i know for sure because both low presure pumps will push about a cup or so of gas to the filter but no further... the high presure pump on the rail has no power and i am still at a loss as to why... i have tryed everything i can think of and a lot of things you great people have sugested to no avail.... comes a time when a person just stops trying ... kinda like a doctor after he hits a guy with that heart shocker 3-4 times with no results......
i do thank all of you that have tryed
