wheres the fuel pump?

[gbuk]

bluey ph1 chammy has a fuel pump that is whinning its tits off,i thought it was located in the tank,under boot carpet(black rubber bung)
went to gsf,they said its out of tank,i looked underneath the car but could not find it,

any help/advice much appreciated,cheers

AFAIK, its an "in-tank" pump

its in the tank, you need to drop the tank to get at it or cut the boot floor, you'll probably find the inlet sock covered in crap thats why its whining, probably knacked by now though

 

[gbuk]

thank you

Drop the tank?! Oh bugger I have two to do...

FFS dont cut the boot floor!

 

[Chris H]

but if you do use a plasma cutter or 9 inch grinder :lol:

 

[lewis77]

Im not touching the ph1!
But the white 19 might suffer a little bit :?

 

[Neal R19]

yeah fair enough on the white one

btw just in case, the 9 inch cuting disc and plasma comments are in jest! Although if you go through with it then get someone to video the procedings!

BTW the worst bit is the bolts on the tank, the 2 back ones you can get a nut back into place easy enough, the front ones are another matter

Use a small screwdriver or pick to clean the rust off best you can from the threads and dose with plenty of plusgas/rost of ice or similar then work the bolts back and forth to get them out.

Then preferably new bolts and copper grease for re-assembly.
