Ok... I was trying to take of the fuel pump cap with 8 screws and at the last screw the fuel spilled. I put each screws back on to stop spilling.

Obviously, I'm not supposed to change the fuel pump or take off the cap when the tank is FULL.

Just to clarify, Should I just siphon the fuel until it is half tank or less?

I need some assistance doing this. Thanks guys!

 

Short answer - YES.

You want MAX of 1/4 tank.

F. Now I need a siphon and Three 5 gallon water jugs.

 

if the car still runs just drive around and burn up 3/4 of it.. I hate syphoning fuel

 

Really I can do it with 3/4? Thanks for the info.

What's the fuel capacity of the SC fuel tank? I think 20 something right...?

 

He is telling you to burn 3/4 so you have 1/4 left...

Crap you're right. I can't read Err.

 

I just installed GSS342 Walbro. I ended up syphoning the fuel, I pumped about 15 gallons out, Syphoning isn't really hard, it justs takes time to fill up.

Walbros are kinda noisy, it made some hissing noise. But once you put back the rear seats you barely hear the noise.

I was scared to start the ignition... it might blow up haha.

 

kinda common sense not to change the fuel pump with fuel still in there...

 

Yes, i think he knows that now!

 

You must be a "know it all" grease monkey.

 

you dont have to "know it all" to have common sense... or do you?

 

no, i just went from kindergarten to college, learned the ins and outs of common sense.

 

Oh i see, you went to college to be a grease monkey to let people know you a lot about cars.

If you know a lot about cars , good for you! But stop saying: "kinda common sense not to change fuel pump with fuel in it".

I'm here to ask some advice not to be humiliated and that's the purpose of this forum and it might help others doing this job as an average joe.

 

Hey man,

I understand your frustrations - but name calling is not necessary here.

As was said, it is considered somewhat normal for most people to know that they should have as close to empty of a fuel tank as possible when tackling a fuel pump...
