Step-by-step fuel pump replacement
#13
Nicely done Rich....wonder if there is a way you can relieve >>>
the fuel pressure to help prevent some of the mess....maybe a combo of removing the gas cap and loosening the pressure side line at the fuel rail (which is easier to access if you have an adjustable FPR).....could do the trick. I would not want to spill gas in the interior....
Great right up as usual...and oh, did you get a package? ;-)

I didn't have much pressure when I disconnected the hoses
Maybe just a few drops spilled out. I actually expected more. I did open up the gas cap though.
Lifting out the pump actually spilled more gas than unhooking the hoses. Just have to make sure you spread out some rags. After I was done I let the car sit with the windows open in the garage for a few hours to let it air out a bit. Still smelled of gas slightly after a few hours...
No package -- did you send something my way?
