Shark fans:
Having a noticeable fuel pump buzzing, I decided to change-out my
fuel pump. On inspection I see I have both in-tank pump and exterior
pump. Pat McGinnis was kind enough to assist on the R&R. Here are some
pics with some pointers.
1) Before attempting a fuel pump R&R, leave as little fuel as possible in
the tank. 2) With the car running, pull the fuel pump fuse to relieve pressure in the system. 3) Disconnect battery ground strap. 4) Remove fuel cap
|
6) When loosening the
fuel tank strap bolts,
only remove the aft bolts.
Loosen the forward bolts, but leave them threaded in place. A long
extension helps with these bolts.
7) Here is where the in-tank pump lives, forward and to port of the exterior pump and filter. For safety, I always let the jack stands carry the weight of the car, then place the floor jack under the rear cross member with little pressure. 8) Here is the in-tank pump (928 608 104.03) removed showing an accumulation of debris on the suction screen . Also order a new gasket for the interior fuel pump (928.201.187.02). 9) I cleaned the debris which accumulated on the fuel tank cradle, lots of dirt, stones, etc. Be careful to cap your fittings while doing this to insure fuel is not contaminated while the dust is flying. |
Good luck. Not too bad a job, but twice the time of just changing out the exterior pump because you have to drop the cradle and drain all the fuel from the tank. Did I say I haven't buttoned-up yet? I didn't order the fuel line between the pumps, oops. I'll get fixed up this week.
