Is there a \"lift Pump\" on my 2001 NB??

Just curious, would it be mounted near or in the fuel tank?

So it is just the suction of the IP that gets the Diesel from the tank to the fuel filter and beyond?

**Warning: more techno-babble follows**

Actually... it's the air pressure that pushes the fuel in to the vacuum created by the transfer pump inside the injection pump.

But for the real world yes, you are correct.
