    Default how to remove fuel pump please

    hi guys, i think the fuel pump has packed up on my misses vl. i can c no way of getting into the tank from the boot so i assume u do it from underneath.

    I see one pump outside the tank, and i know there is another one inside. before i start pulling things apart id like to know if,.....

    If u take off the outer one does this give u access to the inner one?? or is it located on the passenger side?? any pics would be great.

    thanks in advance.

    find out which one is stuffed first. unhook the fuel line between the two pumps and crank over the car. if fuel comes out refit the pipe then disconnect the line after the secondary pump and crank over again. if fuel comes out there too then maybe the return line is blocked.Check this by disconnecting the other line connected to the tank. There is one to the pumps and the other line is the return line. Before removing the pumps (if need be), depressurize the system by removing the pump relay and cranking the engine over, or remove fuel cap. as to removing them don't remove the tank as the manuals state. get to them from underneath. someone told me to remove the back seat and theres access there but underneath seems the way to go. It really could be a number of things. Check the relay, and fuel flow to and from the engine before ripping and tearing at the pumps. One of the pumps is $100 the other is $200.

    no wuzza's. let us know how she pans out. there's also a fuel solenoid near the block but check the other stuff first.
