Ba Xr6 Turbo Stock Fuel Pump Lph & Removal Question?

[The_Joker_2013]

G'day all, just wondering if anyone has the stock stats on a 2005 BA XR6 Turbo Fuel Pump Ute LPH Specs (MK2) & the best removal method?

Petrol gauge on the dash isn't working, few people have pointed out the sender has gone, Ford funny enough not only designed the pump set-up poorly in the ute, made it a pain in the!!!! that your can't replace the pump, & sender separately.

Anyway, what direct Walbro LPH would go a direct fit to the above without a re-tune?

Also from experience what is the best way to remove/replace, one mechanic said to lift the hard top, tub/liner etc, other mechanic has said moving the diff back, & dropping the tank?

Thought's on the above?

Cheers.

Removing the tub isn't that hard, if you can lift it. You can lift it with only two people if you have to but either 4 people or using lifting aids (chain block ect) would make it a lot easier.

Remove the hard cover,

Remove the plastic tub (12 bolts and 4 screws)

I removed the tail gate to save weight because I did a team lift.

Either remove the tail lights and disconnect the plugs or reach up from underneath to disconnect them, Remember to pull the cable clip off the body.

Disconnect the plug for the no plate light.

Remove a couple scrivets (those plastic Phillips screw/push things) that attach the plastic wheel arch liners to the chassis.

Remove the clip on the back of the fuel door to the fuel cap.

Remove the 10 (I think) bolts that hold the tray to the ute.

Lift and admire how good your ute looks without a tray!

I've got a walbro 255lph in tank and it supports 400rwkw.

I would go tray off. But I know some shops do go the diff method. So just wing but mate, I would think you would need less tools to remove the tray. And at the same time you could spray the chassis black again.

You could remove the driveshaft, trailing arms, pan hard rod and shocks then under the front leaf hanger to drop the diff away. But you would still need to drop the tank.

Or use a jig saw and cut a hole in your tray, then use black sikaflex and threaded rivets from you local hardware to install sheet metal over the top of the hole nicely. Silly ford engineers could have designed it like that and made it look very nice. :/ if you do, do it this dodgy way, make sure the hole is round and not square to avoid any cracks.
