Yes, the pump is in the tank. In order to change the pump. you will need to aquire a floor jack and a fuel line coupling remover tool. You will also want to go ahead and buy a set of coupling crown retainers.
Run the van out of gasoline(you, know, till it's below empty, or you'll have a hell of a time doing this job. I promise, I did it with a 1/4 tank and I almost killed myself doing this.) Allow the van to sit for a good 30 minutes to the pressure on the fuel lines will have time to be released. Just to make sure, unscrew the bicycle valve cap on your fuel rail, and relieve the pressure there. Put a wet rag over it so you don't get gasoline/diesel all over your engine. Put the jack under the tank, and put pressure on it. Don't put so much that you dent the tank...
Anyway, disconnect the wiring harness(es) to the fuel pump. Slide the Coupling remover tool into the couplings where the fuel lines mee the two elbow tubes coming out of the pump, if you can get to them. You may have to skip ahead to unbolting your tank and dropping it slightly. Unbolt the 8-12 bolts on the bottom of the tank. They are a ***** to loosen, so I bought new ones in case I stripped them. Make sure you get the kind with locking heads ad locking nuts(you know, with teeth on them. I forgot the name). Once you're un bolted, unwired, and your fuel lines are disconnected(that's going to be a ***** too), start pulling the tank down, keeping the jack underneath it. It's got a sticky tar holding it on, so you're gonna have fun with this part. You may have to manipulate it quite a bit.
Once you've got your tank on the ground and out from under the van, get a vacuum and something to scrape with and thoroughly clean the top of the tank around the fuel pump. Remove the retaining ring with a pair of channel locks and save your o-ring, incase they forget to give you one(you might as well check when you're at the parts store, but let's say you're already bought the pump). Remove the pump, slowly...it's going to drip fuel for a while, so have something ready to put it in. Put the new o-ring and the new pump in. You're going to have to get the retaining ring extra tight, now that you've upset the o-ring. Compare your wiring harnesses on both pumps, and under the car to make sure everything will go back together easily. Spray WD-40 on the tar too break it down a little. Now installation is the reverse of removal, only the hard part here is getting the thing in to sit right. Putting it back on isn't so hard.
Good luck and contact me if you have any questions.

depends if your van is fuel injected (if so, yes) or carburated (if so, no - it will be a mechanical pump on the engine).
