2009 Ford Focus Fuel Pump Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the fuel gauge sender and fuel pump module on 2009 Ford Focus?

  A: Before servicing or repairing the fuel gauge sender and fuel pump module always use caution because fuel-related components contain highly flammable mixtures therefore smoking and carrying lighted tobacco near these components along with open flames should be avoided. Any operation of personal electronic devices needs to be limited to areas that are separate from fuel components. Handle your fuel with proper precautions for handling because any spillage might ignite from hot vehicle sections. You should both relieve fuel system pressure by following procedures plus disconnect the battery ground cable for any evaporative emission system or fuel-related components work. Begin the process with fuel tank uninstallation. Wipe down all links and couplings on the fuel pump module and both its flange faces along with the adjacent areas of all debris. Separate the fuel supply tube from its connection at the fuel pump module quick connect coupling. Use a proper lock ring remover tool to unscrew the lock ring through counterclockwise rotation. The process requires handling the fuel pump module carefully to safeguard the float arm while you empty remaining fuel into an appropriate receptacle. Projection of the fuel pump module flange surface and fuel tank O-ring seal must not reveal any bending, scratching or corrosion; install replacement parts if these conditions exist. Place new O-ring seals within clean engine oil and then mount them. Properly dispose of all old O-ring seals after application. Finish the installation by returning to the removal steps for the new O-ring seal to be correctly put into place.
