It could be on the block, under and slightly behind fuel filter canister. If you bump the starter you should be able to hear it run.

Like Empty said, it should then be behind the fuel filter and slightly below that towards the firewall.

Just down and towards the rear from the fuel canister. Pretty much right below it...

I took a gander and didn't see anything that looked like a LP I saw something that was cylindrical but not that big? So is it in tank.

If it is block mounted, it may look like a cylinder. There will be a hose in, and a hose out, with 2 wire going to it. If you turn the key on, and bump the starter it will turn the fuel pump on. Leave the key in the run position, and have a listen for a fuel pump in either of the two locations. It will run for about 25 seconds.
