fuel pump

[ScottieDont]

My fuel pump decided to stop working the other day. It's a big job to change it so it made me question if I can just add an electric aftermarket pump on the fuel line and not worry about dropping the gas tank?

Im sure someone else will have better advice, but ive seen many people cut a square in the metal above the tank (behind the back seat ) to get access to it. Id make sure to look into it more and be careful. Good luck though

I have done it both ways. I dropped the tank out which invovled dropping the rear, and the second time I cut the hole. It's one hour of work vs 5.

Cutting the hole is so much easier to do, its the only way I would do it again.

Re: fuel pump

Thanks guys. Is it best just to get an OEM pump? Any benefits to aftermarket?

Is the placement any different for a convertible?

Re: fuel pump

Stock should be fine, I would look on ebay, no sense paying double at the dealership.

Do you have to drop the axles if you don't do the cut-out or just the muffler?

Muffler has to come down too.
