I'm sure many of you have seen my thread where I've been troubleshooting my '92 GSR for about a full month now. I bought the car, and two days later it died out....and kept dying out. Info here:

Ok, so now the ****ing kicker.....I buy all the stuff to swap out the fuel filter and fuel pump. Filter goes on no problem, now on to the pump.

I take off the rear seat, unbolt everything..and notice the fuel pump cover is different then what the factory usually is. I keep unbolting everything, and pull this out:





WHAT IN THE ****?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I see no fuel line anywhere near the opening of the tank, no pump, no strainer....NOTHING. Is it even possible for the car to run without a pump? I don't think it is. But where the **** would it be?

I have a feeling I bought the car (it had 3/4 of a tank)....and the owner knew about this ****. Once I got down below half, the car started dying. Maybe the pump is in some dumbass spot in the tank, and can't pump after the gas lowers to a certain level? I'm completely ****ing stumped.

 

Nevermind....looks like I have to drop the tank.

****

 

yes u do...i had todo the same...its easier than u think

 

Yeah not worried about it...just wasn't preparing for it lol

 

yea same happen to me..i was like..WTF! man was i pissed..went from being easy to a headache, not expecting the obsticle to change a goddam fuel pump

 

Oh well....off to get started. I have a 1/8th of a tank. Hopefully it wont be too heavy.

 

better spray down those fuel lines with lube real good. sometimes they seize and then you're royally ****ed.
last time i dropped my crx tank had that problem. ended up replacing the fuel line that ran from the tank, into the cabin, and through the firewall, into the engine bay. one single hard line all the way from front to back. getting that sob in without kinking it is a huge pita

 

Thanks for the heads up. I'll get some liquid wrench on well before I start.
