fuel pump swap stock for stock

ktm-791 · November 25th, 2008, 03:32 AM

does anyone know if changing the fuel pump demands the tank to be droped ... some cars like the tempo have a inspection plate under the rear seat to make it easy... does an 1986 mustang have such a plate??? any one change fuel pump and know from experience?
... shop says 260 for pump 650 for it installed LOL isnt that fuckin reduclis and thats suposto be a friend of the family lol

flyin ryan · November 25th, 2008, 12:35 PM

That's way too much to pay for a stockish pump and to have it installed... i'd do it myself or with a friend and make sure you drain the tank before you atempt this haha it'll be way to heavy.

grnstang · November 25th, 2008, 12:43 PM

yea go burn all the gas u have then drop tank it's easy

ktm-791 · November 25th, 2008, 02:04 PM

TKOTLARZ · November 26th, 2008, 09:18 PM

if ur gonna buy a new put when u put the motor in just buy a bigger one now, it cant hurt it at all and saves u time and money later.. and that price is fuckin ridiculous like everyone said..its very easy to change a fuel pump..and i would clean all the shit out of the tank while ur at it..

ktm-791 · November 26th, 2008, 09:52 PM

yeah tank is ready to be droped ... un hooked electric/fill spout, uhm no thanks on the 1000 right now because im using a aluminum tank also when i put motor in and as soon as this is fixed im running 8 hrs to work for 2 weeks lol its ok i took car back on my trailer today instead of having shop do it because he refuses to lock my doors out side his shop at night his excuse is i will not because then they will just break windo and im like i dont car thats what insurance is for and he still wouldent ( 4k sterio system inside) im lucky its still there from the one night it was out side around here + everyone knows that the lil blue stang gotta sterio

You can cut a hole in the trunk. You won't believe this but the oil change guy at a shop I worked at need his fuel pump changed in a early 90's camaro. I can't remember the exact details but I think you have to remove the rear end to get the fuel tank out. So the shop manager brought up the idea of cutting a hole in the trunk to access the pump. He was able to convince the kid to cut a whole in his trunk to access the pump. The pump was so close to the body that he could not remove the lines and ended up having to lower the tank to get the pump out. He didn't have to remove the rear though so I guess mission accomplish. The shop manager was laughing about it all day it was so funny. It took almost all day to do the job because he kept trying to think of ways of doing it with out removing the rear end. It would have taken the same amount of time or maybe less if he did it the right way.

TKOTLARZ · November 27th, 2008, 02:21 AM

its so easy to change a pump

ktm-791 · November 27th, 2008, 03:29 AM

word ive had the mouth of gas and my tank now sit's inside my gradge ... is there any way to clean the inside of the tank ( i found ice...ovesualy there was water) and most likly some dirt

TKOTLARZ · November 29th, 2008, 04:18 AM

use some kind of strong cleaner and shake it around and maybe make some kind ot bendable things with a rag attached to rub inside and rinse out with the cleaner ..then let it sit and dry in the sun..not sure to wat cleaner..maybe carb cleaner or somthin..maybe somone will give a suggestion..i would think carb or throttle body cleaner..but it would take alot..

ktm-791 · November 29th, 2008, 01:29 PM

its ok boys... i put new pump in ... inside was clean . t draned and got new gas... but the pump is new now and then i desided when car didnt start to test old one with a old car batt and some wire and it wasnt bad in the first place goddamn them mechanics is there a honest one out there somewere? i rilly wonder about this some times..another 180$ +my time on rusted bots ( 100$ for mechanic to tell me it was pump, 80$ for pump down the drain and i need go work monday with out car i loss job lol...

flyin ryan · November 30th, 2008, 03:29 AM

Did you make sure that the fuel pump relay is good and that the (whatcha call it) fuel cutout switch in the back hatch or trunk area isn't tripped?

Changing the stock pump is easy.....really easy.

Why would you run an Aeromotive A1000 pump with a stock tank, stock pump and stock lines? That is the biggest waste of $320 that I have ever heard of.
