Yeah, that does look just like my 95 Sport. The real answer I believe is to
follow the line forward and if you don't have an inline filter sitting on
the inside of the rail just about below your behind, you have a returnless
system.
I do disagree with one thing. If you jack up the bed from the front, leaving
the rear two bolts in place but loose, you need about 22 inches clearance
from the tank thread upwards to get it out. I've had GenI's and a GenII for
the last eighteen plus years and have never completely removed a bed. I've
lost count as to how many I've done, maybe eight. It can be done. Biff

OK, I managed to jack up the left side of the bed enough to check things
out and get some pictures. I don't think I have enough room to get the
pump out of there, though. I still think the bed needs to come clear off.
There are four things going to the top of the pump: 1. electrical, 2.
fuel supply, 3. filler vent and 4... I'm assuming that goes to the evap
canister? I didn't follow it all the way up, I can probably do that if
necessary. The picture is here (items I mentioned are right to left on
the picture):

So, assuming that last connection really is for the evap, that would
mean that this is a returnless setup.
I also tested the voltage right on the electrical connector. It
definitely gets 12V. It only gets turned on for a couple of seconds
after I turn the key on, but this matches what it says in the FSM. I
still don't hear the pump turning. A bit of buzzing, but it sounds more
like a frozen electrical motor.
