fuel pump install questions

Not to scale
so, i got myself a walbro pump, and a racetronix harness, and im putting them into a typhoon.

i was going to go and attack it tomorrow, and i was wondering (hoping, really) if by chance under the carpet there was an access panel i can get to the pump, or if i had to drop the tank.; also i have teh harness and it includes a new relay and stuff, cant wait to get it on, and i hope it helps me in my quest for SPEED.

if anyone has any advice i sure would appreciate it, ive done stuff like this before, just never on a ty, and never an aftermarket pump

Re: fuel pump install questions

unfortunately unless you have a sawzall there's no access panel.... You're going to have to drop the tank out of the truck in order to change the pump. It's a pain in the ass but it's do-able by yourself.

Re: fuel pump install questions

The link above is pretty good, if possible, like me, I have a lift, and a tranny jack. Very usefull if you have access to them. I also find if you can tilt the tank down on the pass. side of the truck, first, it makes for the removal of the hoses a little less painless. To install the tank straps, use "vise grip" style clamps to hold up the straps before putting in the bolts and nuts. this will "compress" the straps and make it a little nicer to try to start the nuts and bolts. Good luck!! It's a PITA!!!

I didnt think it was much of a PITA at all. Then again, ive done 3-4 now..once in an apartment parking lot.
