well... looks like fuel pump... read this suggestion on another forum... any thoughts?

"You can also do the "cheap bastard" fix by installing a late 80s GM fuel pump. from like a 1989 seville."

money lil tight to be a purist... :-)

 

Have you used the search function? This has been covered in many threads already.

 

Please review several options in https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...ghlight=Airtex

 

If you go the GM fuel pump replacement route (Airtex 3270 ?) be careful about using good hose and clamps in the fuel pump assembly that goes in the tank. I know from personal experience that the ends can split or blow off. If this happens, the pump will run, but the fuel won't get out of the tank. Just a friendly hint.

 

How did you get that plastic ring off that holds the fuel pump? mashed all my knuckles but the mechanic gods don't see it fit 2 cut me some slack... thx...

 

Put a big flathead screwdriver on one of the ridges and tap the butt end with a hammer till it loosens up.

 

that did the trick thx... sucker was really stuck on there...

 

how do you test the sending unit? was going to use a Airtex E3270 to replace actual pump... have i stated how awesome ya'll are today?

 

From the RAVE electrical manual, under instruments (you know you want your own copy):


will illuminate to warn the driver .

Note to others, that fuel light comes on at 1.5 gallons, and you are 35 miles to next gas station......

 

Fuel line and fuel line clamps. When you replace the plastic straw with the fuel line don't make it too long. The pump assembly will compress a bit on installation and you don't want the new hose kinking.
