Fuel Pump

Safety measures must always be used during fuel level sensor and fuel pump module servicing because the system includes dangerous flammable mixtures. Start by draining fuel system pressure and separate the battery ground cable connection. Turn the fuel tank filler cap counterclockwise just one-fourth of a turn before setting it aside while being patient during removal to prevent fuel spray in case of system pressure. Insert the Fuel Draining Hose into the fuel tank filler pipe until the fitting touches the tank interior and attach the Fuel Storage Tanker to drain a one-eighth portion of the fuel tank to position the liquid beneath the fuel pump module mounting bracket. Start by removing the rear seat lower cushion and after that proceed to take out four screws from the front-wheel drive fuel pump module access cover or three screws from all-wheel drive vehicles. Separate the power connector of the fuel pump module and remove the quick connect coupling between the fuel tube and the module. Users should distribute absorbent pads underneath the floor pan to contain any spills before they remove the fuel pump module from the vehicle by following the procedure of correctly installing a new O-ring seal and lock ring. The Fuel Tank Sender Unit Wrench enables lock ring removal from the fuel pump module. In all-wheel drive vehicles users need to detach the fuel tube quick connect coupling of the fuel pump module by lifting it partially out of its position. When handling the fuel pump module be gentle because contact may break the arm on the float system while you drain leftover fuel into an appropriate storage container. The presence of damage on fuel pump module flange and fuel tank O-ring seal contact surfaces requires replacing either fuel pump module or fuel tank. Clean engine oil should be applied to the new O-ring seal before installation while following the removal steps backward until the alignment tab on the fuel pump module properly meets the fuel tank when tightening the lock ring.

The high flammability of mixtures inside the fuel gauge sender and fuel pump module demands necessary safety guidelines before maintenance operations. The first step should include lowering fuel system pressure followed by disconnecting the battery ground cable. You should turn the fuel tank filler cap counterclockwise about one-fourth turn before placing it safely to the side. The procedure for removing the Fuel Draining Hose involves slight shaking movements to prevent the fitting from breaking loose while the hose should be inserted into the fuel tank filler pipe until the fitting activates the safety valve. The Fuel Storage Tanker should be connected to the Fuel Draining Hose for drawing out one-eighth of the fuel tank volume until the fuel sits below the fuel pump module mounting flange. Begin by removing the rear seat lower cushion and then proceed to take four screws off the fuel pump module access cover for front-wheel drive vehicles but use three screws for all-wheel drive vehicles. The user should disconnect both the fuel pump module electrical connection and the quick connect coupling between the fuel tube and the fuel pump module. The technician should place absorbent pads on the floor pan before carefully removing the fuel pump module from the vehicle while installing a new fuel pump module O-ring seal and lock ring. The Fuel Tank Sender Unit Wrench should be used to eliminate and dispose of the fuel pump module lock ring. All-wheel drive vehicles require the fuel pump module to be lifted from the fuel tank for exposing the quick connect coupling between the fuel tube and fuel pump module. Take care with the fuel pump module handling to protect the float arm while you fill fuel residue into appropriate storage. A replacement of either the fuel pump module or fuel tank is necessary if any evidence of bending, scratching or corrosion is present on their contact surface areas during mating surface inspection. Clean engine oil must be applied to the new O-ring seal for installation then the repair procedure should be done in reverse order while checking for proper alignment of the fuel pump module alignment tab with the fuel tank before tightening the lock ring.
