This morning I got an early start, and was able to install the new fuel pump and tank before lunch. I made a new pigtail harness for the pump, reusing the old grommet which was still relatively soft. I also reused the big donut grommet for the filler pipe. I purchased the butyl putty at Home Depot and used a little more than half of the roll.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI notice that you haven't updated this since 2017. I hope you can still remember this job;
I need to change my 3-port original pump to the 2-port unit like yours.
I would really appreciate any advice on how you did it and any warnings?
Regards
