Fuel pump assembly come as one unit, can't just buy elec. fuel pump motor, not cheap as you well know, for the hose you will need a disconnect tool, NAPA has it part # 775-9086 about $6.00.

How do I change feul pump 97 chevy lumina 3.1 l

You must remove the fuel tank which is underneath the trunk. Here's the procedure for removing the pump.

REMOVAL:

1. Before servicing the fuel pump the fuel system pressure must be relieved.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Raise the car on a hoist.
4. Remove the fuel tank.
5. Remove the fuel tank sending unit and pump assembly by turning the cam lock ring counterclockwise. Lift assembly from the fuel tank.
6. Pull the fuel pump up into the attaching hose while pulling outward away from the bottom support. Take care to prevent damage to the rubber insulator and strainer during removal. After the pump assembly is clear of the bottom support, pull the pump assembly out of the rubber connector for removal.

NOTE: Inspect the fuel pump attaching hose for any signs of deterioration. Also check the rubber sound insulator at the bottom of the pump. Replace damaged or deteriorated parts.

INSTALLATION:

1. Push the fuel pump assembly into the attaching hose.
2. Position the fuel tank sending unit and pump assembly into the fuel tank. Use a new "O" ring seal.

NOTE: Care should be taken not to fold over or twist the strainer when installing the sending unit as this will restrict the flow of fuel. Also, verify that the strainer does not block the full travel of the float arm.

3. Install cam lock over the assembly and lock by turning clockwise.
4. Reinstall fuel tank.

Need to replace fuel pump, what are the steps

this is for a slightly newer year Buick regal, should be similar to what you need to do unless the car was completely overhauled in design in 2 or 3 years. Good luck!...

Generally the pump is located in the gas tank. Drain the tank, remove the straps holding it up, on the top of the tank you will see the pump wiring harness. Make sure the battery is disconnected! I think the harness and pump come out as one unit. When you replace it, you will need a new harness most likely. Have you checked the pump relay and filter? I have found over the years that the pump is fine, but the relay seems to go out alot.

The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank. To change the pump you need to open the hatch between the rear sets. Move the carpet out of the way. A access panel is their, remove it.

Next you will see the fuel pump module top. Remove the 2 electrical connections and the 3 hoses. On my I had to squish the little clear part down at the hose end to remove the 2 bigger hose. The middle hose was just a matter of fighting with it back.

I would grap a volt meter and make sure that you have 12 volts on the GRAY wire on the 4 pin connector for 2 seconds when you turn the ignition on before you proceed.

Next remove the metal ring . You do this by taking a pry bar and pry the ring inward. The pump might be stuck down a bit, pry up on the pump hose connectors and lift the pump out.

Do i have to drop gas tank to change fuel pump on 99 grand am gt?

Yes. It's not a terribly difficult job though. First back the car onto some ramps and set the parking brake firmly. Disconnect the electrical connector for the fuel pump / fuel level sending unit. You will need to loosen the hose clamps around the fuel filler neck hose and the vent hose and remove the rubber hoses at one (either) end. There will be some 'quick disconnect' fuel lines. To disconnect these, you need to squeeze the two white plastic inside pieces together and pull them apart (it will be very obvious when you see them). Put a hydraulic floor jack under the gas tank with a piece of wood on top of it to distribute the weight of the tank over a larger area. Then you can unscrew the two straps that hold the fuel tank up and gently and slowly lower it down. Once it is down, there is a lock ring on the top of the tank that holds the fuel pump / fuel level sending unit assembly in the tank. Use a brass punch to loosen the lock ring to avoid sparks. Make sure to replace the fuel strainer and any O rings when you do the pump. Installation is (as always) the reverse of removal. Also, remember to drain any remaining fuel from the tank while you have it removed. This will make installation a lot easier.

Where is the fuel pump located in a 1990 geo prizm? Is it in the fuel tank or on the fuel line?

Electric Fuel Pump REMOVAL & INSTALLATION The electric fuel pump used on fuel injected Nova and Prizm cars is contained within the fuel tank. On 1988–92 models it cannot be removed without removing the tank from the car. NOTE: Before removing fuel system parts, clean them with a spray-type engine cleaner. Follow the instructions on the cleaner. Do not soak fuel system parts in liquid cleaning solvent. CAUTION
The fuel injection system is under pressure. Refer to the procedure above and release pressure slowly and contain spillage. Observe no smoking/no open flame precautions. Have a Class B-C (dry powder) fire extinguisher within arm's reach at all times. 1988–92
  1. Release the fuel system pressure as outlined earlier.
  2. Using a siphon or pump, drain the fuel from the tank and store it in a proper metal container with a tight cap.
  3. Remove the rear seat cushion to gain access to the electrical wiring.
  4. Disconnect the fuel pump and sending unit wiring at the connector.
  5. Raise the vehicle and safely support it on jackstands.
  6. Loosen the clamp and remove the filler neck and overflow pipe from the tank.
  7. Remove the supply hose from the tank. Wrap a rag around the fitting to collect escaping fuel. Disconnect the breather hose from the tank, again using a rag to control spillage.
  8. Cover or plug the end of each disconnected line to keep dirt out and fuel in.
  9. Support the fuel tank with a floor jack or transmission jack. Use a broad piece of wood to distribute the load. Be careful not to deform the bottom of the tank.
  10. Remove the fuel tank support strap bolts.
  11. Swing the straps away from the tank and lower the jack. Balance the tank with your other hand or have a helper assist you. The tank is bulky and may have some fuel left in it. If its balance changes suddenly, the tank may fall.
  12. Remove the fuel filler pipe extension, the breather pipe assembly and the sending unit assembly. Keep these items in a clean, protected area away from the car.
  13. To remove the electric fuel pump:
    1. Disconnect the 2 pump-to-harness wires.
    2. Loosen the pump outlet hose clamp at the bracket pipe.
    3. Remove the pump from the bracket and the outlet hose from the bracket pipe.
    4. Separate the outlet hose and the filter from the pump.
  14. While the tank is out and disassembled, inspect it for any signs of rust, leakage or metal damage. If any problem is found, replace the tank. Clean the inside of the tank with water and a light detergent and rinse the tank thoroughly several times.
  15. Inspect all of the lines, hoses and fittings for any sign of corrosion, wear or damage to the surfaces. Check the pump outlet hose and the filter for restrictions. To install:
  16. When reassembling, ALWAYS replace the sealing gaskets with new ones. Also replace any rubber parts showing any sign of deterioration.
  17. Assemble the outlet hose and filter onto the pump; then attach the pump to the bracket.
  18. Connect the outlet hose clamp to the bracket pipe and connect the pump wiring to the harness wire.
  19. Install the fuel pump and bracket assembly onto the tank.
  20. Install the sending unit assembly.
  21. Connect the breather pipe assembly and the filler pipe extension. NOTE: Tighten the breather pipe screw to 17 inch lbs. and all other attaching screws to 30 inch lbs.
  22. Place the fuel tank on the jack and elevate it into place within the car. Attach the straps and install the strap bolts, tightening them to 29 ft. lbs.
  23. Connect the breather hose to the tank pipe, the return hose to the tank pipe and the supply hose to its tank pipe. tighten the supply hose fitting to 21 ft. lbs.
  24. Connect the filler neck and overflow pipe to the tank. Make sure the clamps are properly seated and secure.
  25. Lower the vehicle to the ground.
  26. Connect the pump and sending unit electrical connectors to the harness.
  27. Install the rear seat cushion.
  28. Using a funnel, pour the fuel that was drained from its container into the fuel filler.
  29. Install the fuel filler cap.
  30. Start the engine and check carefully for any sign of leakage around the tank and lines. Fig. 1: Fuel tank components — 1988 VIN Code 5 engine (Nova) 84225048.gif

I need to know how to install a new gas tank on a 1980 Ford F100. I just bought this truck and have a major rust problem in the old tank. The truck has a 460 in it and an electric fuel pump. I am a total...

Should be relatively simple. First off, if it has an underbody spare tire, you may need to remove that. Also, I forgot to ask if the vehicle is equipped with two fuel tanks. These instructions would be for the rear tank, which would probably be a lil more difficult than the front tank.
And you should probably siphon out as much existing fuel in the tank to make it as easy to handle as possible-when that time comes.-Most tanks have a drain plug at the bottom just for this purpose. You will need a floorjack (I recommend a piece of wood that will stabilize the tank) to ease the tank down slowly-there may be some more small hoses/and /or electrical connections (fuel/tank sending unit?/pump?) that you may have to play with/remove before completely lowering to the ground.

1-remove spare tire-if applicable
2-disconnect the battery-negative cable at least or the entire battery as a whole
3-drain fuel from tank into suitable container
4-remove fuel filler hose(fuel filler door to tank-hose clamps)
5-place jack into position
6-remove straps/bolts securing fuel tank to underbody
7-lower down the tank slowly until you can access the other electrical connections/fuel lines
8-remove and disconnect those-(I use colored tyraps to mark which ones go where-because a lot are the same size)
9-If you are tranferring the fuel pump/sending unit(some are two separate units,others are one piece), I recommend a new filter bag on the fuel pump-theyre cheap
10-installation is the reverse of removal-

Hope this helps!
