1985 Fuel pump(s)? problem 700 1985

Help!

I'm trying to find the problem with my 1985 Volvo 740 GLE. 175,000 miles.

symtoms:

No fuel at fuel union near intake manifold.

Fuel pump relay clicks when key to "start". Did't check yet if it clicks when key to "on"

Main Pump running. Tank has about 2 gallons in it.

Can't hear pre-pump (in-tank)whirling.

Replaced fuel filter.

I'm about ready to pull pre-pump, but didn't yet, I hope to hear some good

suggestions! It looks like a pain in the a?? to pull it without blowing up the car. One thing I haven't figured out is that the repair book says to "pull off the electrical connector at the pump, and push the grommet into the space behind it". I don't see how it is pulled off. Is is just a plug or what?

Anyway thanks.
