I decided to replace the intank fuel pump on the 86 245 today. As I looked into the very small hole that the designers gave me for access to the pump, I had to wonder what happened to the real Vikings, the fellows with the big hands made for slinging double edged super axes at the enemy? They must have been all killed off in battle leaving the little handed guys at home to procreate and design little access holes in their equipment.
The job went well after having a devil of a time coaxing the assembly up through a hole 2/3 the size of the pump/level sensor footprint. I'm not certain that I fixed the intermittent leaning out condition that is driving me nuts, but, after 250K miles, the pump needed changing anyway.
Regards,
