  Q: How to service and repair the fuel tank unit safely and effectively on Ford Escort?

  A: The first step for servicing or repairing the fuel tank unit requires both safety prevention and engine coolness to stop leaked fuel from causing ignition. Start the procedure by disconnecting the ground cable from the battery then reducing fuel pressure. You should start the process by taking off the rear Seat Cushion assembly followed by disconnecting the two electrical connectors from the fuel delivery module. The fuel delivery module access cover is secured by four screws which need removal for its easy removal. Unplug the fuel line by swapping out its retaining clip. Starting with the fuel delivery module cover you should unlock its retainer ring before removing the cover. You can pull out the fuel delivery module once you depress its locking tabs. A new fuel pump mounting gasket and fuel line clip need installation during replacement steps which need to be done in the opposite order. Some abnormal drive symptoms may appear after battery reconnection because the vehicle needs to relearn its adaptive strategy during which driving the vehicle becomes necessary. The last procedure involves starting the engine before inspecting for any fluid escapes.
