How does fuel get to the engine?
 
Is there some sort of a fuel pump in/near the tank to push the fuel towards the lift pump or does the lift pump suck fuel from the tank?

It just sucks it from the tank.

Cavalier,

Its not a lift pump, its a pressurizing pump for the injection pump. The pump removes a small amount of fuel from the fuel line on each pump cycle and atmospheric pressure pushes the fuel thru the line to make up the loss.
