Where is the fuel pump and how do you remove it?

Question

1999 Ford Taurus

Answer 1

It's inside the fuel tank. You'll need to siphon as much gas as possible out of the tank to make the job easier. You'll need to unbolt the straps that hold the tank and using a jack, lower the tank enough to disconnect the fuel lines and the electrical connection. Then lower the tank and remove the locking collar or bolts that hold the fuel pump module in the tank. Replace module and install tank in reverse order of removal>

Answer 2

The fuel pump is inside the gas tank. The tank has to be removed to change it out. I would recommend having someone familiar with the process to do it for you. A poor installation can haunt you and shorten the life of the new pump.

Answer 3

It's in the fuel tank.
For NISSAN cars you can remove it by removing the rear seat then you'll find a cover with 3 screws...I think It's the same with FORD.
BE careful while removing it.

Answer:

Hello and thanks for the question...I'll try to help.
The voltage you should be looking for is battery voltage 12v. Here is the removal and installation procedure:
Remove fuel tank.
Remove any dirt that has accumulated around fuel pump module retaining flange.
Turn fuel pump module locking retainer ring counterclockwise using Fuel Tank Sender Wrench 310-002 (T74P-9275-A) and remove fuel pump module locking retainer ring.
Pull fuel pump module sender plate up out of fuel tank until locking tabs for fuel pump module are accessible. Reach through fuel pump module opening, squeeze both locking tabs together and remove fuel pump module from fuel tank.
Remove O-ring seal and discard. INSTALLATION
Clean fuel pump module retaining flange, fuel tank mounting surface and seal ring groove.
Apply a light coating of Premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C75-BA on a new O-ring seal to hold it in place during assembly and install O-ring in seal ring groove.
Install fuel pump module carefully into fuel tank to make sure that filter, hoses and float rod are not damaged or binding. Align fuel pump module and fuel tank retainer and push fuel pump module into fuel tank retainer. A definite click will be heard when the two tabs on fuel pump module engage the fuel tank retainer. The fuel pump module must be snapped in the retainer with both tabs. Pull on fuel pump module to make sure it is fully engaged. Install fuel pump module sender plate to fuel tank, being careful that locating keys are in keyways and O-ring seal remains in place.
Hold assembly in place and install fuel pump module locking retainer ring finger-tight. Make sure that all locking tabs are under fuel pump module locking retainer ring tabs.
Secure fuel pump module unit by rotating fuel pump module locking retainer ring clockwise using Fuel Tank Sender Wrench 310-002 (T74P-9275-A) until fuel pump module locking retainer ring contacts the stops.
Install fuel tank in vehicle.
Lower vehicle.
Install a minimum of 38 liters (10 gallons) of fuel. Check for leaks.
Turn ignition switch to RUN position for three seconds repeatedly (5 to 10 times) until Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) Fuel Pressure Gauge 310-012 (T80L-9974-B) or Rotunda Fuel (Methanol/Ethanol) Pressure Test Kit 134-R0131 or equivalent (depending upon application) shows at least 207 kPa (30 psi) . Check for leaks at fittings.
Remove Test Kit, start engine, and recheck for leaks.

Hope this helps,
Erik
