Good job Bro. I'm sure it will help lots of folks. I'm sure glad mine dosen't look like that underneath-guess that's we dont drive the ones we want to keep nice up here in the winter. I haven't seen ya much lately-hope all is well. BTW,if I see you drivin that nice T-top you got when the salt gets laided down,you could be talkin with a much higher voice.

Funny to think that this old how-to is still helpin' folks 3 years after I wrote it, haha! Information is so timeless....

Nother + for you!

I didn't fear this project, but seeing pictures and haveing some pointers will make my FP replacement go that much smoother...

Nice well-documented How-to!

EDIT to add:
I think the only thing I would have dun different, would be to empty the tank first; assuming you have at least some fuel pressure from the bad pump...

I prefer mine in black tho, a little more formal...
You have documented this task very well, I have done it once, and it looks like I need to do it again, unless I can get the dry tank to flow again!

If you’re not careful with the cigarette you might wind up with this!
All kidding aside, great post. Thanks!

Nice job on the write up and the procedure is correct. The only thing that I would insure is that the small hose that connects the fuel pump to the supply tube in the tank is certified as S.A.E. J30R10 submersible fuel injection hose. Standard J30R9 fuel injection hose will fail within a year. Other than that I would prefer to use fuel injection hose clamps. Those plastic pinch clamps may work but I feel safer with fuel injection hose clamps.

Wish I had known this forum was out there before I decided to drop my tank. Currently the tank is lying about, and I am dreading figuring out which fuel line goes where. Shouldn't be OVERLY difficult, but just enough pain to make my day unpleasant. And that Trans jack would have come in SO helpful!
