Section 8IN-TANK FUEL PUMP INSTALLATION
8.1 IN-TANK FUEL PUMPINSTALLATION (2001-2002 Models Only)
A. Raise the rear of the car and support it with
jack stands.
B. Open the fuel door and remove the fuel cap
and the three filler neck screws using a
10mm socket.
C. Remove the fuel filter inlet line with a 3/8"
spring-lock tool.
D. With the weight of the fuel tank supported
with a jack, remove the bolts securing the
two fuel tank straps.
E. Slowly lower the fuel tank, allowing it to
lean over with the filler side up until the
electrical connections leading to the center
mounted fuel pump are revealed. Disconnect
these two electrical connections.
F. Remove the six bolts securing the fuel pump
access cover (on top of the fuel tank) with
an 8mm wrench. Depress the two clips
securing the plastic fuel pump enclosure and
slide it out of the tank. The fuel sender float
is attached to the fuel pump enclosure and
must be handled with care. Ensure that the
tank has been lowered enough to remove the
fuel pump enclosure.
G. Remove the two screws securing the plastic
fuel pump outlet manifold to the enclosure
cap. Pull the manifold up and away from the
fuel pump.
H. Remove the three screws securing the fuel
pump enclosure's cover using a 3/16" nut
driver and remove the cover. Modify the
fuel pump cover as shown. (See Figs. 8.1-a,
8.1-b.)
I. This allows the larger O.D. pump to fit in
the cover.
J. Remove the stock fuel pump from its enclo-
sure. Separate the rubber pump support from
beneath the filter and install it on the sup-
plied pump. Secure the support with the new
pump provided.
K. Cut the two fuel pump power wires about 1"
from the fuel pump electrical connector.
Noting the corresponding (+) and (-) con-
nections, splice the supplied wiring harness
into place using two butt connectors.
L. Using the supplied fuel pump, reassemble
the fuel pump assembly and canister with
cap. Install the supplied 1/8" spacers beneath
the pump outlet manifold and canister cap
and install the modified pump assembly.
