89GP_SE Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well the fuel pump in my car is dead, I was wondering if it would be possible to install an inline fuel pump somewhere on the fuel rail instead of pulling out the one in the tank?

Andrew Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 no matter what you will have to pull the tank, so might as well replace the one in there and keep things simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89GP_SE Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 no matter what you will have to pull the tank, so might as well replace the one in there and keep things simple. but what if i get those ones that can be mounted on the frame or something, then would I have too.

The stock pump in place not running will cause such a huge ass restriction, you wouldnt have enough fuel to run the car and the inline pump would quickly burn up.., Dropping the tank shoudl only take about 20 minutes. All in all, changine the pump is easily done in about an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Some rust worse than others. Not simplying implying that Canada cars will rust worse, however, his car may be very rusty. All depends on how well it was taken care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
