HOW DO CHANGE A FUEL PUMP ON A 93 LINCOLN MARK 8

Removal & Installation See fuel pump under fuel tank in this section.

CAUTION Fuel injection systems remain under pressure, even after the engine has been turned OFF. The fuel system pressure must be relieved before disconnecting any fuel lines. Failure to do so may result in fire and/or personal injury.

1. If equipped with air suspension, the air suspension switch, located on a side panel of the trunk compartment, must be turned to the OFF position before raising the vehicle.
   
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
   
3. Relieve fuel system pressure using the recommended procedure.
   
4. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
   
5. Remove the fuel tank from the vehicle and place on a suitable work bench.
   
6. Remove any dirt that has accumulated around the fuel pump retaining flange so it will not enter the tank during pump removal and installation.
   
7. On 1988–94 models, turn the fuel pump locking ring counterclockwise and remove the locking ring.
   
8. On 1995–00 models, remove the retaining bolts around the perimeter of the fuel pump module.
   
9. Remove the fuel pump/sending unit assembly. Remove and discard the seal ring.
   

1. Clean the fuel pump mounting flange, fuel tank mounting surface and seal ring groove.
   
2. Apply a light coating of grease on a new seal ring to hold it in place during assembly and install it in the seal ring groove.
   
3. Install the fuel pump/sending unit assembly carefully to ensure the filter is not damaged. Make sure the locating keys are in the keyways and the seal ring remains in the groove.
   
4. Hold the pump assembly in place and install the locking ring finger-tight. Make sure all the locking tabs are under the tank lock ring tabs.
   
5. Rotate the locking ring clockwise until the ring is against the stops.
   
6. Install the fuel tank into the vehicle.
   
7. Lower the vehicle.
