Fuel Pump: Installation

Wipe seal area of tank clean. Position new "O" ring seal onto pump, using grease to hold it in position. Position fuel pump in tank so fuel return hose is not kinked. Install lock ring. DO NOT overtighten pump lock ring, as it may leak. Install fuel tank.

Clean the fuel pump mounting flange and the fuel tank mounting surface and groove in the fuel pump mounting gasket. Put a light coating of Premium Long-Life Grease (XG-1-C) on a new fuel pump mounting gasket to hold it in place during assembly and install it in the fuel ring groove. Install fuel tank sending unit and pump carefully to make sure that the fuel filter is not damaged. Be sure that the tabs of the fuel tank sending unit and pump are positioned into slots of the fuel tank. Make sure ring remains in place. Hold the fuel tank sending unit and pump and fuel pump mounting gasket in place; install and rotate the fuel pump locking retainer ring clockwise until the stop is against the retainer ring tab. Install fuel tank. See FUEL TANK .
