Fuel Transfer Pump, Replace

To Remove And Install Transfer Pump:
1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
2. In the luggage compartment, remove the access cover and the harness connector as described above.
3. Remove the fuel hoses and discard the hose clamps. Label the hoses so they can be reconnected correctly.

WARNING: Fuel will be expelled. Do not smoke or work near heaters or other fire hazards. Keep a fire extinguisher handy.

4. Loosen and remove the large lock ring on the transfer pump and fuel gauge sending unit assembly by turning it counterclockwise. See Fig. 4-5. Remove the assembly from the fuel tank.

5. If the unit is to be reinstalled, inspect and clean the pickup strainer/filter. Inspect the sealing gasket on the top of the fuel tank and replace it if damaged.
6. Installation is the reverse of removal. Place the transfer pump assembly with gasket in position on the tank with the matching marks aligned as shown in Fig. 4-5 above.
7. Install the lock ring and tighten clockwise until snug. Using new hose clamps, reconnect the fuel hoses. Reconnect the harness connector. Reinstall the access cover, then reconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
