Martin,

Thanks a lot, that answers just about any question I could have!

If you do cut the connectors off the feed and return lines to install new ones, you should label them first. Label both, labels sometimes fall off

03238 was apparently parked for a dozen years as a non runner because these two hoses got swapped when a fuel pump was installed. After a dozen years though she was a non runner for sure.

Upper is feed, lower is return.
No need to label.

Thank you guys, for the screw reference too! I found a few I didn't lose, but I might have accidentally sucked up a few when vacuuming the luggage compartment with my girl's Rainbow vac. (Man, I love that thing. It's like my own personal DeLorean shop vac!)

You're welcome... I posted that from my iPad in a visitor centre in the Scottish Highlands who happened to have open WiFi! Now back home on a proper computer!

I've been hearing good things about John Hervey's fuel pump. I guess I'll go with his!! About the can, I remember someone on the old forum mentioning McMaster Carr, they sell good SS can like item. Any idea?

Thanks!!

As far as the "can" from McMaster-Carr, anyone know which part number it was, or anyone has used it?? And does the tuna can actually work, and you guys recommend it??

Thank you!!

I've just completed the Fuel Pump (and filter) replacement. Thanks to everyone, and especially Martin (for the Video, wouldn't have touched the baffle without that info) it was a relatively straight forward 2 1/2 hours. one lingering question; how tight should the banko bolt be for the fuel line? I ask as I initially had a leak from the banjo bolt onto the pump (!) and a hard twist, I got the banjo bolt to stop leaking (at least, As far as I could tell).

Just so I'm clear there should be a washer on both sides between the "banjo" itself and the bolt and the pump? there was one on the old fuel pump, so I'm assuming so. It's just that the leak concerns me and I don't want it to develop again as I'm cruising down the road.

Thanks,

Yes, a washer on both sides. Check the fuel section of the shop manual for the proper torque.
