Re: 84-245 DL in tank fuel pump suspicious,power loss 200 1984

Yes,you can check to see if the pump is running by having an assistant listen at the fuel filler neck( with the cap off) while you jump terminals 5 and 7 in the fuse box this will activate the fuel pumps and you should hear a humming sound from the filler neck.If don't hear the humming proccedto check the ground at the top of the in tank unit.If it is corroded clean it off and again check for operation.Also check the lead wire to the in tank pump for 12v.If you have 12v and a clean ground but still no humming from the filler neck the pump is in need of replacement.To replace the pump remove the panel to access the top of the tank.You then will need to turn the locking ring at the top of the in tank unit counter -clockwise (I've heard a short handled garden hoe works well for this task.)to release it.You then can pull the whole works upward and out of the tank.From there it is fairly strait-forward,just be sure to exercise extreme caution when working with the tank open, even the smallest spark could spell disaster.
