Fuel Pump Location?

I have to replace my fuel pump and instead of dropping the axel and tank I'm going to cut through from the inside.
Anyone out there that's done this before?
Tell me about it

Re: Fuel Pump Location?

This topic is covered WEEKLY.

To pull the pump out, you'll hafta find a way to cut the hard fuel lines & then reconnect them, without them leaking. For carb &TBI engines, that is easy...low pressure TPI uses a higher pressure,which is harder to seal.

I live in Ocala.

It will probably be a couple weeks before I make the access panel, I'll try to post some pics of it when I'm done.
