Would 1/4 be low enough to take out the pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head Member 74 Member For: 14y 4m 9d Posted 13/08/19 12:13 PM Share Posted 13/08/19 12:13 PM Yeah maybe I was lucky, I never read anywhere where it said to have 1/2 tank or less so I just parked it up and changed it out. When I could see the fuel level just below the opening I assumed it was close to full so it appears I was closer to 1/4 than full based on the shape of the tank.

Bellenderitous is correct for once anything past 2/3rds will piss fuel everywhere when undoing the retaining ring halfway is a great guide without issues Graeme if you’re not 100% certain I’ll happily do it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have any trouble, I will give you a call. I appreciate all your advice and help buying the parts. I started working on the car today, I want to do all the work that has to be done on the ramps first, because I won' be able to drive it up the ramps latter, till its tuned. I'm thinking of doing the pump while I have it on the ramps, to keep the fuel at the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
