So I put on my big-boy reading glasses. You are absolutely correct. As soon as I jump those proper terminals, the lights dim a bit and I hear a thunk and get a spark from an electrical load. With that jumped there's no fuel at the shrader on the fuel rail.

Hello FP.

Hello FP.
Do you hear the mellow sound of the pump whirring away? It was dead obvious when I drained my tank. No thunk.

Nope. A single thunk every time I apply power, and cabin lights dim, and quite a spark, and zero fuel in rail.

well pull the covers off the battery...




pull the battery...



The tray...





and there is your tank cover...

put a jumper on the battery terminals...




one of these two is the fuel line pinch and pull at the tab, revealing the barb, hook a hose to it and jump the relay again, fuel should come out if not bad fuel pump ur no power at the pump.
