Installation Part 17 – Removing the Stock Fuel Pump 

For this part if the installation, the car needs to be jacked up and supported on proper automotive jack 
stands on a solid, level surface. You will be working underneath the car and the car must be stable.  

200. 

Remove everything that is loose from the trunk.

201. 

In the forward bulkhead of the trunk, to the right of 

the area where the spare tire is kept, there a square 
metal box (128.1) that covers the stock S.U. fuel pump.  

 
202. 

Remove the two ¼-28 Phillips screws and the cover 

to expose the end of the S.U. pump.  Save the screws. 
We will need one later to plug one of the threaded holes. 

 
203. 

Disconnect and wrap the electrical power connector 

for the original fuel pump (182.2) with black electrical 
tape so it cannot short out, then zip-tie it out of the way. 
It will not be used. 

 
204. 

 Loosen the clamp (128.3) around the large rubber 

“donut” or grommet (128.4) that holds the pump in place. 

 
205. 

Now, from underneath the car, remove the ground 

wire (129.3for the pump and tie it up out of the way. 

 
206. 

Remove any of the vent tubing attached to the 

pump. 

 
207. 

Disconnect the fuel lines from the pump (129.4). 

Caution! There will be gas in the lines even if the tank 
has been drained! Be prepared to catch the spill; all 
usual precautions applicable to working with fuel should 
be observed. 

 
208. 

While you are underneath, remove the original fuel 

pump by pulling it through the “donut”.  

 
209. 

Back inside the trunk: Remove the rubber “donut” 

from the hole in the trunk bulkhead. 

 

This completes part 17 of the installation
