How does the fuel pump work in this car? Is it like in the picture taking from the 1st tank and after that from the 2nd tank or it takes from both tanks equally?

You only have one fuel pump in this tank. This is called a saddle tank and if you look at the labeling for number 8, that is actually just a fuel level sensor. Both sides have sensors but the passenger side is the only one with a pump.

Take a look at the info below and you will see that it talks about this where each half of the tank is equipped with a sensor. This means that the fuel pump pulls from both sides of the tank as it has a connection between the two reservoirs.

Please run through this and let me know what questions you have.
