Re: NEW Fuel Pump.. . Brand?
Did you replace the inside-tank filter "screen"?
BTW.. . My other thread about this [my pump stopped and then started after I removed and re-inserted the harness connector on top of the gas tank?] has not even got a comment! Doesn't someone know about my prospects for this old (202K miles) fuel pump continuing to work for some reasonable period?? HeLp!? Thanks, Jim

I've no idea what OEM-equivalent availability might be at an auto parts chain, but if a proper replacement is available I can't fathom why you'd want to buy something that necessitates modifications, unless it's to save big money (which I doubt). dcb EDIT: AutoZone's Web site lists an "Airtex Master" fuel pump with a one-year warranty for $85.99; in stock at the store nearest me or available for home delivery. It's the only pump they show for an SVX. Certainly could be it's a "one size fits all" unit that requires fiddling to make fit. I'd ask. Last edited by dcarrb; 04-20-2010 at 05:01 AM. |

Concerning your other thread, it's tough to say. I had fueling issues about 6months ago that I "fixed" with a new battery. I now suspect that the first encounter with this issue was an early sign of the pump's impending death.

I have no idea how the tank cap comes off (screws off?), let alone how the fuel meters and fuel pump are attached inside the tank??? [I don't need to remove the gas, do I?] I assume the cap screws off.. . and can be removed with a rigged jig to engage the cap ring flanges (?). I hope I can reuse the cap sealer "gasket" (Can I?). I'm concerned about the noise this unit might put out after hearing so much about noisey aftermarket fuel pumps. However, I agree with your assessment that this "incident" might be the very near "beginning of the end" for my 202K miles pump! Please send even a sketchy "How To" ASAP as I must make my decision very soon. Thanks for your help.. . Jim

Re: NEW Fuel Pump.. . Brand?
Mat: Thanks for the extensive "HOW-TO"!
(1) Can I just use the enclosed crimp wire connectors to attach the new pump wires (mine has a nice 2-wire harness) to the upper OE wires? Is it safe electrically.. . Or should each of us place a fire extinguisher in our laps if we go anywhere?? Can I use typical shrink-wrap to tidy up the connection, or is it safe in the gas?? (2) Can I do this with a lot of gas in the tank? I just filled up. (3) How far down is the 8mm bolt.. and L-shaped bracket? (4) Can I do under gas? (5) How far out can you pull the tank cap up while still attached to the internal pump harness AND fuel line(s)? How much slack before you have to remove harness and fuel line(s)? Is there one.. or 2 fuel lines under (attached to) the tank cap? (6) I wish I could use a new seal, but seems like it will take ~10 days?? Thanks, Jim
