Fuel Pump Problem - More Facts, More Questions 200 1981

replacing it if fairly straight forward, Howerver it involves removing the tank(in my wagon i had to if you know another way PLEASE let me know!) I was fortunate enough to have the use of a car dealers ramps. first you need to loosen the tank acess hole cover(screwdriver and hammer)pull it up sightly. Get under the car and drain the tank, theres a bolt on the bottom of the tank very easy to do, have a five gallon bucket(s) ready to catch the fuel, i had my tank reading on red and i still had 6 gallons in it! After draining the tank (this is the hard part) you need to reach up and loosen the fuel filler hose clamp, it's straight forward operation but a pain to reach! after thefiller is loose and all the gas is drained, it's time to pull the tank 5 bolts and your done be careful not to damage your sender while dropping it. i found 2 old filter socks and a spare sender float ball, in the bottom of the tank lol. while i had it out i cleaned the tank dried it and Phospoho'd it (phospho is a rust inhibitor). Replacement is just the reverse. good luck.
