question: is it hard to install a fuel pump? any tips on installing one
and where is the best place to get one.

Fuel pump is in the tank.. but the good news is.. unlike a lot of american cars.. there is a handy hatch inside the car beneath your backseat for getting at it. Just be careful with gas fumes. You want to do this outside, with the windows of your car rolled down, the doors and hatch open and the battery disconnected.
There are two schools of thought about how much fuel to have in the tank. I prefer a full tank as there are less fumes in the tank when you open it up.

Seems easy enough. I agree with Mad-Machine, More fuel is better IMO.

Just upgrade to a DSM GST pump instead. You'll have the extra fuel just in case you need it and it's cheaper. You can find it around $25 shipped on DSMtrader.com
Or check ebay.

Not sure where you are located but I have one from my (2001) tib. It has about 30k miles on it (I got a walbro). You pay for shipping and you can have it. Send me your City, State, and Zip and I can give you a shipping cost.
