I had given thought to the problem being the fuel pump or filter and that last set of pics shows the location of your pump. I'm guessing here but the filter will be incorporated in the pump so replacing the pump would also mean replacing the filter at the same time. I can't say for sure from the pics but it looks as though the pump is just held in place by a retaining ring that would need to be rotated anti-clockwise about a quarter turn to release the pump. The fuel line will use a special retaining clip which would have a specific procedure to release. That white piece with the green stripes drawn on it might be the clip release, I'm not sure.
Before doing anything expensive, check to see if you can get a price for a used pump at a local wrecker. A new pump will probably be expensive. From those pics, it looks like replacement is relatively simple. Best done with a partially empty tank, too. Good luck.
