If you have a Fuel pump blown and needs replacing you probably have been quoted approx $220 for the pump and about $450 labour and about 6 hours of work. Due to its location you would have been informed that suspension, exhaust, support bars etc have to be removed before the tank is removed then the pump removed right? Here's what I did, I removed the back carpet, I then drew a cut out area central on the flat of the highest point on the body pannel and cut a wide hole, leaving one section attached for folding back down later. My position was perfect, I unscrewed the pump and replaced it with the new unit. I cut the plate with a drill to start, then I used tin snips to complete the cuts. {NO GRINDER or OXY} I folded down the flap and sealed it, I then got 2 galv plates from home depot {$0.80 each} and screwed it over the top, then sealed the edge and sprayed it with a can of black paint. Looks like a factory access area. Took me 55 minutes all up, and saved me $450. I have pics available
Thanks for the helpful information. Do you still have the pictures you could share? Much appreciated.Thanks for the helpful information. Do you still have the pictures you could share? Much appreciated.
It is in the gas tank. Take off the gas tank. On top of the fuel tank there is a ring on top of the gas lines it turns to the left and the whole assembly will come off. Good Luck!
