    It may- look at the top of the tank under the access panel in the trunk. You may just have a level sender there. Later cars have the sender and lift pump in the tank.

    Many of the euro cars only had the single pump.
    My euro '84 735 does.

    Correct, many euro cars only had 1 pump. For better or worse. Better in Europe due to cooler temps, not so much in the US over the road with higher temps on long road trips.
