2013 fuel pump

So I got an oil change and they told me my fuel pump leaks. Is this something simple I can change myself?

It's a big job dropping your fuel tank, especially on jack stands.

When you get the new fuel pump installed, I never run less than a 1/4 tank of fuel. They put the pump in the tank for cooling purposes. It uses the fuel in the tank to keep it cool. Heat is your pumps worst nightmare. The less fuel in the tank, the hotter the pump runs.

By seeing the amount of pressure and volume it puts out.

I don't think any car manufacturer has that option. They are afraid of fuel spillage on the carpet of the trunk.
