[QUOTE="jacek, post: 17010930, member: 205667"] Cautionary tale: after watching multiple youtubers replace the fuel pump piece in the assembly i ordered one for $11 from rockauto and dropped the tank, removed the assembly. First thing i found was the corrugated internal fuel tube had a hole in it that caused pressure loss. I found and ordered it. When the pump came it had non stock connectors so i modified the wiring to fit. The fit in the housing was wrong so I shaved the housing. So far so good- pump went back in. Tank back in and started the car. The cautionary tale starts now btw After about 10 min i lost the fuel pressure. Still could hear the pump run. I tracked it down to the pump running but not pumping. Out with the tank again. Out with the pump assembly. Turns out the the other corrugated line i could not find so did not replace got completely schredded. So I fixed it with clear fuel line. To avoid collapsing on a sharp kink it made i even stuck a spring inside to keep it open. Put back together and tested. Fuel line was now fine but the pump was losing pressure through fitment into the housing. It turns out the rubber seal in the housing was torn. I finally gave up and ordered the whole assembly. I found a quality one on Amazon of all places for $65. The rockauto assemblies prices were much higher for some reason. The morał of the tale is: on older high mileage cars don't skimp on hardware that requires a lot of labor to install. Also shop around and you can save a big chunk between local parts store, rockauto, amazon and ebay. Thank you for enduring through my venting [/QUOTE]
