murphs lazy fuel pump swap

[hurlyfire7]

i was told this was possible and that DA's have an access panel under the back seat.. well, that panel is not the fuel pump.. it is the fuel feed lines and the measure thingy.. so basically i needed to drain and drop my tank but thats too much work for me..

i borrowed a dremel from my step dads shop and made my own access panel to the fuel pump"i used blueprints on the tank to estimate where the pump would be".. no draining and dropping tanks for me..



""warning, this is very dangerous!! sparks fly around caused by the dremel's blade..keep a fire extinguisher handy if your doin this""

wow your brave/

[DAslowman]

gangsta!!!!!

[hurlyfire7]

I know.. Lol i had a wet towel around it so sparks were minimal but still dangerous and stupid none the less ...

Heres a better pic of what i did

[OBSoldier]

man i should have thought of that too ! i had to do mine the old fashion way . it took me all day to do ! well it didn't help either that it was 30 degrees out side !

yeah, i got quoted at the local shop i take my car too and they wanted $550 for labor and the parts... i said F that! paid 130 for the pump and filter and maybe took 30 min. of my time

spilt a little gas inside the car though.. so it reaks of gas and prolly will for a few days, but this saved me so much time and money.. just unsafe to do cus you can cut too deep among other things..

oh hell yeah... im doing that

[hurlyfire7]

oh hell yeah... im doing that

u shud donate me ur lip for me thinkin of this genious idea... Lol

[jadakid88]

now i cant do that...lol

[hurlyfire7]

Yeah yeah, if not before the next meet i will be grabbin that from u.. Im orderin a set of flaps either today or tmrw so all ill need is a lip...

[cardesignz]

That is one way to do it, and one that I definitely wouldn't do to my car. What did you do about the sharp-edged hole in your floor?

[hurlyfire7]

i sanded the edge so it wasnt so sharp.. as far as the hole goes, im going to just fold the flap back down with a hammer or "rubber mallet" and use some metal tape to seal the cut..

[*DA Boo*]

interesting!

[.:Stirfry:.]

ha lol.. now that is kick ass!

[WalkS]

Lol yea just like some one said above, you are brave! But yet a smart idea. You know what you could do it cut the uncut part. And use a piano hinge for future access. I would seal it off with some rubber tubing or something.

[hurlyfire7]

I may just do that, right now im usin some good ol ducttape.. Ill have to borrow the dremel again and ill take pics and post the finished product.. Prilly by next week this will be done

take my word on it if they did a hack job like this it wouldnt be $550. thank god your not a mechanic or u would be hungry all the time.

[hurlyfire7]

Why u gotta hate barefoot.. Not everyone is rich and can afford Retarded $550 fuel pump repairs.. I had an idea so i ran with it.. And it worked... So wuts the problem?

[Barefoot]

if u was a mechanic an saw some shit like that take my word on it u would say something also.
