Installing new fuel pump.....Any tips I should know?

[stang_racer20]

This is the exact process for a fox-body but you failed to mention what car you have:

put jack under tank

loosen straps

loosen filler neck bracket(1x 5/16" bolt on pass. side)

disconnect 1x electrical connection at back of tank

as you lower tank it must be yanked off the filler tube towards the driver side. if worn replace the filler neck seal.

when down disconnect fuel lines, always a *****, and vacuum line from tank.

when out. use block of hard wood or soft metal to break the seal ring loose on top of tank. note it will take a couple of nice hits to get loose.

remove sending unit and follow instructions of pump to replace the pump, hose, filter and seals. Also note, it can really be a ***** to get back in cause of the filter.

reverse process.


hope this helps
