Depends. Usually you have what's basically a spray nozzle sitting in the intake manifold and deliver a shower of atomized fuel to the air going into the engine. You can also have something that looks a bit like a carburettor connected to the intake maifold where you have one centra nozzle.

There are also engines with direct injection. It's quite common in Diesels, but you can get it for gas engines as well these days. In this case the cylinder head has what looks like an extra spark plug well that holds a nozzle which sprays fuel straight into the combustion chamber.

That depends on whether your engine has a carburettor or is fuel injected. If your engine has a carburettor the fuel pump is on the lower engine block. If your engine is fuel injected the fuel pump is in the gas tank. Tell me which engine you have and I can give a more specific answer.
