Most fuel pumps are underneath near the gas tank. If you need to know about your car, I recommend buying a Chilton manuel for your model.

Ever notice how most ppl answer questions with out knowing what they're talking about.
Correct most fuel pumps are inside the gas tank but I have never seen a fuel pump on top the tank
You would never find the "fuel pump" under the car although that is where you would find the "fuel filter"
In older model cars like carbeurator equipped yes beside/on the engine
Anyone who's changed a fuel pump would know this.
One way to find out if your fuel pump is working or not is to turn the ignition without starting the car, if you hear a whirring noise coming from somewhere in the rear of your car the fuel pump is working. If you take the gas cap off your downspout and have someone turn the ignition while you put your ear to the spout you would hear it clearer, if you hear nothing it is, of course not working and needs to be replaced, which would be quite a chore.
Older model, carbeurator equipped cars would have the sound coming from under the hood of your car.

Nick the relay will be in a black plastic covered box the bottom inside of box cover will let you know which one is the fuel pump relay... However on Fors and Mercurys including the wagons there is another thing that can cause you cute problems with intermittent working fuel pumps... its called an "Inertia Switch" it was meant to be an emergency fail safe device which shuts down the fuel pump in case of an accident to prevent vehicles from catching fire... a very light impact to a bumber even has been known to trip these occassionally (light meaning 3-5 MPH impact like a parking lot thump from an inattentive drivers vehicle)... in fact some times it can even only partially trip at place where car got bumped and later when car his a bump going down road finsh tripping off.. on your wagon this should be foun in the right passenger side rear panel near the spare tire well... just to the right of it is a smaller well with a fiber boar cover... under it is this switch it has a red button about the size of your pinkie finger... push it down if it clicks and moves that was the problem Walt PS Rakel its nice to know my first hand experieince as an ASE Certified Auto Tech and be actually aware that the car I drove was identically equipped as described including model year..FYI this was actually my ex-fiancees mothers car

depending on the make, the model of the wagon, and the year depends, but for the most part the fuel pump is on the top of the gas tank. in the rear of the car.

It depends on the model and the make, and sometimes the year of production. Some fuel pumps are located under the car, some are in the fuel tank, and some (on ancient cars) are on the side of the engine.

More detail, If it's new wagon check the gas tank (injector type set-up), Carb type on the engine block . follow the fuel line.

What year and engine? If it's an older carburated model, it's on the engine. If it's a Throttle body or port injected model, then it's a high pressure pump in the tank.
