Re: Fuel pump in tank
Pulling the tank isnt too bad of a job as long as its not full.Its common practice to pull the tank just to inspect it and clean any settlings or deposits inside the tank wich can kill a fuel pump.
If i may be bold enough to make a suggestion,dont get a borg warner pump.Those things are weak cheap flimsy junk and almost always fail within a few years . As a tech i dont buy them for my customers unless they insist the dealership pump is too expensive for them to fit the bill because i end up having to warrenty the stupid things when they come back as a no start.
Ive had so many of those come back to haunt me,Ive started putting footnotes at the bottom of the envoices saying the labor isnt warrentied if they use the borg pump because i can almost put money that it will be back.Even though its more expensive its best to go with one from a dealership or a oem replacement part.Look at it and if its smaller than the one coming out of the tank you can just about guess its not up to par and you will be pulling the tank right back off when it dies,especially if you dont pull the tank and rid it of crud and buildup that started growing since 1992.
Lowering a gas tank for the first time is a two man job and if you cant find any help to drop it,then cutting a hole may be your only option>but keep in mind one false move and kaboom game over.
