How to Change Fuel Pump

Hey Guys,

I been looking around but cant seem to find a thread on how to change the fuel pump. Any help provided would help. Car has about 115K and the Fuel Pump hasnt been changed yet. Thanks!

Do you mean the fuel filter? The pump is not typically replaced. It can be, but failure is rare, and that's the only reason to swap one (supercharger upgrades excluded). If you mean the filter, post back and either myself or someone else will post a "how to".

I threw this web page together tonight. I haven't proof read it yet, but it can't be too far off. The fuel filter is right next to the pump, and except for the electrical connection, it comes off/goes on the same way.

Why is the fuel pump being replaced?

Hey Marcus,
I back-tracked the address and got to your DIY page.
Verrrry nice. How long have you had that ?

Thanks. I've had it since 2006. It's had a lot of different looks. I just changed it again this weekend.

I've been tempted to change it from Signal to Noise to "Do it Yourself, but don't call me when/if it fails".

You've got a LOT of good "how to"s. Is there an index?

No index.
I just make up a DIY and post a link to it,
but your site is dynamite.
Thanks
