Sedan Fuel Pump Install How To

[arronm]

Only use corrugated hose in the cradle.  And clamps.

Thanks for that. Why the corrugated? Just to help set the depth correctly without kinking a normal hose when installing, or a longer term reason?

[El Andrew]

Actually ignore me. Did some more research and I think I will loop some hose and if that turns out to be too difficult to work with, I'll order these:

Has Anyone installed a Walbro 460lph pump like this as I have it at home and will be doing it this Saturday, Any tips peeps can give please?

it's a quite similar process, just more of a squeeze to fit it in. You'll be fine following the instructions in this thread.

Could anyone help me with some more detail on removing that round plastic cover under the seat, please?

[k31th]

it's just a bunch of screws around the edge of the circle mount.

for the fuel lines, there's a bit of finessing with where you apply the pressure (a pick set is a very valuable tool to use for those connectors) to get them off the 3 fuel line connections (make sure to re-connect them in the same order, e.g. mark which is which).

if you mean the bit of grey plastic over the top of the whole thing, just un-plug the obviously removable bit and then lever under the edges with a flat-head and pull upwards to remove it

Step one: Try to rip it out with your fingers for five minutes, then give up in frustration. 

 

Step two: Lever it with a screwdriver.

Thanks guys - just didn't want to destroy it or the sheet metal of the floor, and it has a little arrow on it, so wondered if it unscrewed or something.

It just pops out.
