I am willing to bet when you drop the tank, you will find a piece of rubber hose between the fuel pump and sending unit. That hose will be split, slit, or have a hole in it.

If you want to know if its fuel pump or not, do a fuel pressure test. 9-13 PSI is normal. If you're lower than that, go ahead and drop the tank. It isn't that bad.

At least you don't have dual tanks and aren't having to fight with too high of fuel pressure and installing a new fuel tank selector valve like I am right now... Saddle bag tanks suck.
