What do fuel pump replacement services include?

Your car will send you visible signs once your fuel pump is on its way to failure. You may have difficulty activating your pump motor or starting your vehicle and even lose driving power. It all sounds like another time-consuming maintenance issue, but in reality, all you need is the help of an expert with the right tools and excellent mechanical proficiency. Skip the repair shop and coordinate with one of our mechanic Taskers for a professional fuel pump replacement service. Here are a few of the things you can expect:

Removing the fuel tank

When empty, fuel tanks weigh about 30 pounds and can be a real pain once it gets full. Your mechanic must extensively drain all the fuel out before completely removing the tank from the vehicle. Once done, the fuel lines, electrical connectors, and any straps or bolts must also be disconnected. Only then can the tank be lowered down and taken out.

Replacing the old fuel pump

After removing the fuel tank, your mechanic will access and unbolt the fuel pump lock ring to detach the fuel pump driver module. Before bringing in the new pump assembly, the tank must be carefully inspected and cleaned to hinder contamination. They will then seal the interface using an O-ring gasket and finally install the new pumps accordingly.

Reinstalling the fuel tank

The fuel tank will be reinstalled to the vehicle along with the fuel tube house, retaining straps, and other electrical connectors there were initially removed. Your mechanic will also refill your fuel tanks and do a quick road test to confirm a successful fuel pump replacement.
