Thread: Installing new fuel pump

To make a long story short, I bought a high flow fuel pump a year or two ago and am now finally able to get to work on the thing. Installing the fuel pump is the last thing that I need to do and then I will be able to drive my Monte again. I ran into a roadblock though. Here's a couple pics of the problem:



Also, in this pic ^ is that clamp on the brown line pressed on?



I can't seem to get the brown and black lines off of the fuel pump inside the canister. I don't want to break anything, but I need to disconnect everything so that I can install the actual pump into my fuel pump canister. I did some searching and I saw that someone recommended cutting the brown line and buying this line: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/130493783608 to replace it.

What have you guys done to get both lines off?

When I did my pump install I had to cut the original corrugated line off. I replaced it with EFI rubber hose.

Your local parts store should have fuel hose rated for EFI pressure. Also should have special hose clamps too. More of a band clamp vs. the traditional worm gear type hose clamp. Whether or not you feel the need for them is up to you.

Oh, you got a venturi can. Yes. That line feeds the venturi jet. Is there enough tube to cut it flush off the old pump and still have enough to push on to the new one?

Its part of the evap system

Fuel tank pressure sensor. Evap stuff.

My best guess is, it will probably trigger a MIL. I can't imagine it would cause it to not run, or some other major drivability issue though. Why not just plug it in?

Just leave it in but leave it unplugged. You can tune the code out if you it trips an ses light but it is just for emissions/evap.
