Fuel Pump? Chevy Venture 02

I have a 02 Venture.....the other day i could have sworn i heard a winning sound coming from around the gas tank......first thing i thought was the fuel pump.....well the noise stoped but just tonight it shut off while i was driving it down the street........Now im pretty sure that would mean my fuel pump went out....

My question is........is there a way to check to see if its not working.....Can i check the presure by taking off the line by the fuel filter and mabey turn the key to see if there is presure?

Can someone tell me how to find this out with out taking it to a shop......And also is it really that hard to drop the tank and change the pump? Theres not much gass in it so thats a pluss... And i did have the plugs go on the fuel pump go bad and that was fixed 6 months ago thats why i don't think its that.

Thanks very much for any help you can give me.

Why not use a fuel pressure guagu and see exactly what you have?
