Thread: Fuel Pump Access - Can I Cut These Out?

Ignorance is bliss. Until I saw this the other day I had no intention of worrying about my pump. Now I’ll have to prepare. I’ll have to take The fridge off the slide, the slide off the carpeted ply, the ply off the drawer sides, cut some ply with a circular hole, pull out the slide, somehow climb in to the back, locate the prepared ply, cut a hole with hole saw, take out the pump and clean the filter, put it all together again and buy and stash a spare pump with the hoses and belts. BUT, if ever the pump packs up I know what to do thanks to AULRO.
BTW, lots to of pumps on the bay...anyone bought and installed one of the sub $100?

Not actually installed one but I did purchase a Pump Motor on the "bay" some years ago (sort of 10 years) & never used it & I got rid of my'95 D1 about a year ago & gave the pump motor away with her.

I had wondered, because I had used Moreys Fuel additive in the tank for a number of years, which I hoped had helped lubricate the pump assisting it's long life. Moreys seems to be an oily based brew.

Can't say for sure, but it wasn't added for that reason, but who can say whether it wasn't a good thing using Moreys. I didn't have any injector problems either or indeed any other fuel components except an Idle Air Valve but that only passed air not fuel.

I installed at $250ish pump last year (can’t remember who from) and it works fine. I decided it made more sense to put the new one in and keep the original 20-year-old one for a spare.

Can’t comment on cutting holes in the floor - I have a 130 and changed the pump because I had to take the tray off.
