The fuel pump is inside the tank, so pulling the tank is a reasonable way to get to it. You may be able to pull it from the top of the tank without pulling the entire tank, depends on how they put it in. I honestly don't remember pulling the tank on mine when the pump went bad.

Fuel pump dose not run 99 ford sable

there is also a trianary switch in the cargo area (trunk) make sure this swith has not poped up just push it down if you hear it click it was probably tripped. If it tripped it may need replaced. These switches were used by Ford for many years to stop the fuel pump from running in the event of a crash. Also have you checked the fuse or the relay these are the areas to start before pulling the tank

Fuel pump access panel..

you do have to drop the tank, it is not that hard of a process, once you have it down, there will be a ring that you will need to turn, it will loosen the fuel pump, undo the wires and replace. Be carefull when you pull out the pump it will have the float attached that goes to the fuel gauge.
