Thread: Fuel Spurting Out

Tweet

I went ahead and changed my oil and filter since I wasn't about to risk damaging my engine. Thanks for the tip on that one.

Got the new fuel pump (was only 34 bucks) and took off the old one. The pin (rod) did slide down, but was able to move it back and hold it there with a long screwdriver while positioning the new pump and gasket into place. Only issue I had was that the fuel line in on the pump was shifted 45 degrees from my old one, so I had to cut the hose in order to get a good non-kink fit.

Thanks for the info guys. Definitely appreciated--saved me lots of head scratching and possibly a burnt out motor.

Glad it worked out for you! Kinda funny how you do a PM task like changing a fuel filter and another headache jumps out at you! I guess that's life right?

HMmmm.. plenty of room under that hood for a big block right?!?

It is kinda crzy how that works. One thing leads to the next kinda deal.

The big block is just around the corner for me--gotta keep saving my duckets for now though
