5.0L stang fuel pumps work nicely?


im asuming i wont need the brcket and the lines form that just the pump correct?
also chiltons is telling me to swap out pump i have to drop fuel tank. for a eg it says its located under back seet. efs have em under back seat. cant i just pull it out and replace from there? or am i actually going to have to drop the tank

all i know is that you dont need to drop your tank just remove seats and or rear interior. Good luck im doing this soon when i find one so i wonder how itll work out

Urban Business

thats what i figured, i always knew they were under the seats. my interrior is gutted so logic tellsme un bolt the plate and pull the bia out. i dunno wtf chiltons is talking about, threw me for a loop

in my old car you had to unscrew it out i ppushed on the tabs with screw driver. dont bend the plate or it will leak gass casuse gsaket wont seal no more

what about a turbo DSM fuel pump, would that work just as good...

Urban Business

good question. dunno if it'll fit. but im relitavily certain that 5.0's do

NO all efs and da's you have to drop the fuel tank. What you see under the rear seat is only the fuel level sender, the fuel pump is on the gas tank near the rear passenger wheel. Also the dsm's turbo pumps work too and they flow really well!!

Yea that is the fuel level sensor, I thought I would grab one from the salvage yard for a spare, thinking it was just a few screws ( I already had taken all the Si interior out ), Nope, you gotta drop the tank... An aftermarket fuel pump that flows 255lph is only like $115, so just do it right the first time, if not one day you may have to drop the tank again...

damn. cause on my old V-dub i unscrew the fuel pump and it cames out with the level sender under the seats. mmmmmm

Thx for correcting me.

how long does it take to drop the thing and replace pump? how much does tank weigh (w/o gas)? i dont want to get stuck under a fuel tank

I did mine with a 3/4 full tank by myself and it sucked but it didn't crush me (don't ask why I didn't drain it because there is no good reason other than me being lazy). The back of the tank will come down first due to the position and the way it is strapped to the car. I jacked the car up high on stands, and put the jack under the tank to let the tank down slowly.

I recommend getting an extra set of bolts for the straps as mine basically just broke off on the way out. I couldn't get the honda bolts, so I just bent some strong grade bolts of the same size and put them in.

The hardest part of the entire thing is taking all of the hoses off of the tank IMO.

Good luck.

hey if that's the sender can i use that too hook up my low fuel light sensor for my jdm cluster? or where would i have to put it. also who carries the walbro unit i think i'm gonna order one.

We replace fuel pumps at are shop alot. Mostly Dodge caravans, and GM cars. Most of them you need to drop the tank. We always try to empty the tanks before we drop them. I haven't done a civic yet but I am sure I will be doing mine soon. If the stock pump still runs you can take the fuel line off the rail and jump the relay to pump all the gas out. We have a 30 gallon drum we keep it in but if you have a 3-5 gallon gas container that will work.
