anyone have experience doing a fuel pump on a third gen? ive done plenty on my 4th gen but I cut a access panel behind the seats. so I figured itd be the same measurements on the 3rd gen... nope. do you have to drop the tank on these?

 

This AGAIN !

 

dropping the tank is pretty easy -did mine back in '93
and again last year,did cheat a little back in '93 though:
not saying i recommend this,but back then i couldn't
seem to get the filler neck through without bending it
so cut the neck about 3"back from the cap and rejoined
the halves with a chunk of hose after tank reinstalled
-this made the 2nd drop last year real easy...Many here
have reported dropping the tank with no problems or
modifications at all,so possibly later models have more
clearance or i just was not getting the tank in the
right position in '93 BTW the hose that i found
was perfect for the filler neck was a section of
intercooler hose from a renault fuego turbo

 

I agree!!! I'm so sick of seeing the same threads created on topics discussed 100000000000 times before that. Everyone just wants answers handed to them. So annoying.

 

I did a search and found a post with pics. ppl said cut the lines and reconnect them with compression fittings. but im carbing my 92 and I am pulling the pump to remove it and install a fuuel hose to the bottom of the tank. sry that ppl get so frustrated over the internet. it didnt even dawn on me to do a search

 

what kind of pump is in the tank now?-if it's a stock TBI
pump that is a turbine pump and fuel will flow through
it with out the pump running-can just leave in place
and draw fuel through it.If its a TPI pump that will need
removed as those have roller 2nd stage and do not flow
well inactive.

 

its tbi. I cut a access panel and took the lock ring off the pump and pulled it up a little cuz I havent cut the lines yet and the pumps all rusted up. so im gonna remove it and see wats going on in there.
