Hi everyone! My 1.7 sat for over 30 years. Need to drain tank and install new pump, lines, filter. Anyone know what size lines (braided) come out of the tank? Fuel pump has been moved to front. Also need a good fuel pump. Original Bosch is over $600.
Thanks! Attached image(s) |

OK this is not for the faint of heart nor should it be done in a haphazard fashion.
Plan your problems, (what if I knock over the bucket?) and so on. Be ready. Have a fire extinguisher, for combustible liquids like gasoline, a good one, close by. Fill a plastic bucket with just enough gasoline to cover the fuel pump. Do this someplace that is safely away from structures and combustible materials. Rig up two wires about 8 to 10 feet long, one end connect crimp on connectors to accept the pumps terminals. The other end use a battery clamp such as the items listed below (no affiliation) https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/electric...BCABEgLPj_D_BwE[/url] Try to remove as much gunk as possible, don't damage anything. After connecting the wires to the pump ONLY, place it in the gasoline, a full charged car battery works best for this. Place the fire extinguisher between the battery and the bucket, connect the wires to the battery terminals for 15 seconds, than reverse the polarity. Do this for a few minutes, keep reversing the polarity, soon enough the pump should clear. Now a days fuel pumps are inside the fuel tank, ours are sealed just as the newest ones are, so just be careful, use your head. If this doesn't work than you will need to get this one rebuilt or swap it for a rebuilt. Good luck and be careful! |
