My 73 1.7 has the fuel pump in the original location under the battery tray. I just finished reinstalling the engine and the pump is now leaking from what appears to be a bad O-ring from the research I have done. My pump is mounted with what I assume is the original thru body hardware. I was able to reach up and behind to reinstall the pump while the engine was out. There is no access now that the engine is back in. What am I missing here? I would think a service item like a fuel pump wouldn't require the engine to be removed. Thanks.

I replaced the fuel pump, rubber mounting hardware, & intermediate hoses with the engine in the car. It really takes two people to replace the rubber mounts - one on top & one underneath. Once the rubber mounts are installed, then you can go it alone from below. Another possibility is to hold the rubber mounts in place with duct tape while you secure them under the battery tray. This is what I did. My old fuel pump was leaking too. "73 1.7 here too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |
