Jester,
Is it easy to pinch the wires when reinstalling the tank! I did the job a couple of years ago so I'm trying to think back...........I don't remember worrying about clearance or pinching wires when I lifted the tank back up.

I hope I didn’t damage anything driving the car that way for so long. Actually it’s been nearly a couple of years since I put the new fuel pump in but I don’t drive the car very much. It’s not a daily driver and it gets stored during the winter months. Hopefully I can get to it one of these weekends since it’s not a big job.

Thanks for the tip about the pinched wires. I’ll definitely inspect those wires when I drop the tank!
