Can i check my fuel pump on the inside of the pump or electrical in it

Hi there:
Just Ford cars uses the Inertia Switch on their vehicles. If you are not getting fuel pressure firts I suggest check fuses and fuel pump electrical connections... the most common cause is a faulty fuel pump (fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank).

Hope this helps.

There are many reasons why fuel pumps have no power, most (in tank) fuel pumps fail due to low fuel inside of tank.

These fuel pumps turn at an alarming rate which in turn causes an alarming amount of heat. This heat is then dissipated by the fuel inside of the tank itself.If the driver/operator allows to run the fuel very low and continue to do so, this will over time allow for the fuel pump to overheat due to the ONLY source used to cool the fuel pump is the fuel inside of the fuel tank itself. Electrically, view the operator's manual or similar source to locate fuel pump fuse and/or relay of which will open the electrical path when the fuel pump overheats.
This should be a pretty good starting point to locate/isolate electrical issue you may be experiencing.

Good Hunting to you & hope this gets you back on the road soon!

its inside the fuel tank ,lift the back seat to see if you have a access panel so you do not have to drop the fuel tank

Usually located inside or near the fuel tank

There are two types of fuel pumps. It may be a mechanical pump or an electric pump. In earlier days, mechanical pump was used for vehicles. The mechanical fuel pump can be found in the camshaft of your vehicle's engine. Nowadays the diesel fuel pump has become an electrical component and also is available as a small size device which can be seen inside the fuel tank. The power required for the electric fuel pump is got from the car's battery. The main function of the fuel pump is to push the gasoline to the engine by creating a positive pressure.

Fuel Pump

the fuel pump is electric and it is located inside the fuel tank, u must pull the fuel tank out to rpelace the fuel pump.

CHECK FUEL PUMP WIRING.IT HAS A SHORT IN IT.

You can attach a siphon to the fuel line from the pump back to the tank and use it to detect any leaks in the line. You can also check the carb the same way, running it on fuel from siphon. If both check out OK, you can use an electric pump or replace the mechanical pump. Either should work providing that the "sock" inside the tank is not obstructed.

hi there,
this is to clear the idea,your fuel pump is located at inside you fuel tank.this is not easy job for replacement,have a precaution doing this there fuel inside your tank if you wanna do this or fix your self,you have to remove electical source by pulling out first the one pole or terminal of your battery.to prevent in any spark,using syphon pump,you can empty your fuel tank evacuate all fuel inside your tank before pulling out your fuel pump.figure showing fuel pump/
disconnect all electrical connection on fuel pump.have a nice day

The fuel delivery system uses an electric fuel pump to provide high-pressure fuel to the fuel injectors. The fuel pump is located at the rear of the vehicle, mounted in the fuel tank. It can be accessed by removing the rear seat.

The fuel tubes leading from the fuel tank to the engine are under pressure during vehicle operation. When the engine is turned OFF, the fuel in the fuel tubes remains pressurized for long periods of time to provide quick start-ups. Fuel not used by the fuel injectors during operation is routed back to the fuel tank through the fuel return tube.

The fuel handling components are protected by three fuel filters. A replaceable in-line fuel filter is located inside the engine compartment between the fuel tank and fuel injection supply manifold. A serviceable filter screen is located inside the fuel tank at the fuel pump inlet. A non-serviceable filter screen is incorporated into each fuel injector.


I can get you trouble shooting tips if you want them.

This injector set-up needs a specific fuel pressure supplied to the fuel rail to even start, much less run properly. The fuel pump is immersed in fuel inside the gas tank to keep it cool and not burn up. Running the fuel level low causes more heat in the pump and interuptions in proper fuel pressure. AC/Delco pumps have proven to be a reliable fix, the aftermarket pumps only last for a month or two sometimes. Check fuel pressure under the hood and power and ground to fuel pump at electrical harness at top of gas tank. This truck needs a fuel pump.
