Guide the pump adapter grommet into the pump
support on the bracket.  Firmly seat the pump and
adapter grommet into the pump support.  Then

verify that the pulsator and spacer are still fully
seated against the pump.

7. Install the supplied electrical connector to the pump

and to the factory fuel pump wiring harness plug.

8. Install the new fuel filter on the pump in the same

position or orientation as the original filter.  To avoid
damage to the filter, place it on a clean, flat surface
and push the pump straight down into the filter cup
until it is fully seated on the pump 

(See Fig. 5)

.  

(

Note:

Take care to properly align the filter the first time.  If it
has to be removed, the filter will be contaminated or
destroyed by removing it, and a replacement filter will
be needed.)

BRACKET INSTALLATION

1. Inspect the fuel tank for dirt and debris.  If the amount

of dirt or debris is excessive, clean the fuel tank before
installing the bracket assembly.

2. Inspect the bracket to make sure it is clean and ready

for installation.

3. Place the supplied fuel tank o-ring seal in the groove

at the fuel tank opening.  Place the bracket assembly
into the tank using care not to disturb the o-ring seal
or to hang the float assembly on any protrusions in the
tank.  Also use care not to fold or twist the filter, as this
could cause restricted fuel flow.  Install the locking ring
and rotate it clockwise until it is properly seated
against the stops.  Check service manual for an
approved sealant for locking ring.

FUEL TANK INSTALLATION

1. Inspect the condition and location of all tank mounting

pads, insulators and brackets.  Defective, missing or
mislocated pads and insulators will cause the
transmission of excessive noise into the vehicle.

2. Inspect and correct any defects in the fuel hoses, filler

neck connections, or similar components related to the
fuel system.  

3. Install the fuel tank in the vehicle and tighten the tanks

support strap bolts.  Reconnect all lines and hoses and
tighten securely.  Connect the electrical connections.
Make certain that all hoses, fittings, and electrical
connections are correctly and securely attached.

4. Be sure that all fuel lines are correctly routed and secured

in any mounting brackets.  Make sure the wiring harness
is installed in the original position and secured in any
wire clips or brackets, if present.

WRAP UP

1. Using only equipment approved for use with gasoline,

refill the fuel tank with gasoline.  

(

Note: 

Always clean

any gasoline spills immediately).

2. Inspect the fuel system for leaks.  Repair any leaks before

proceeding.

3. With the ignition switch off, install the fuel pump fuse,

and reconnect the negative (ground) cable to the battery.

4. Turn the ignition key to the “Run” position only.  This will

charge the fuel system.  You may need to do this a few
times to get pressure.  Once you have pressure, check for
any leaks and repair.  Then, start engine and re-check for
leaks.  

(Note:  Turn off engine and correct any leaks

before continuing.)

.

5. Clear any trouble codes in the electronic control unit

(ECU) that may exist as a result of the fuel pump
replacement procedure.  Use the factory service manual
for assistance, if necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Should the fuel pump fail to operate:
1. Check the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay as outlined

in the factory service manual.

2. If the pump has power and proper polarity, check the

remainder of the fuel system as outlined in the service
manual.

(

Note: 

This pump will not remedy any malfunctions in

the fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors, or other fuel
system problems).
