Default svt focus fuel pump install

Is there a good write up with pictures. I searched around and found a bunch of old threads that say to use dndgarage.net but that site isnt there anymore...

I'm not sure where you could find it, I'd search a few forums. It's not that hard, just make sure the tank is almost empty before you do it.

+1 not hard at all. Just get it down to around an 1/8th of a tank and go at it. Took me about an hour the first time I did one just taking my time and looking at things, but doesn't take but about 30 minutes to switch a pump now.

make sure you use the stock basket. Just swap the pump and sock filters.

swapping the tank would be easier, either way you gonna have a left over tank and pump. disconnect the lines and harness, drop the tank and reverse.

the only thing is tanks that sit get sh*t inside them, like rust. if theres any contamination don't use it, not worth it. how long has it been sitting?

I already bought it. I paid 75 for the tank and pump. I know I could have gotten a new pump for a little more but this way I can swap the whole thing and sell my pump and tank or just swap the pump and sell them off individually.

what did the tank come off of? Make sure that it has the right sending unit before you install.
