Just replaced the in tank and the under the car fuel pump .
Is it normal that the under the car pump runs all the time without stopping?
I noticed it because the new pump is a lot louder than the old one.
Thanks

 

It usually runs all the time when the car is running.
It runs for a few seconds then turns off if you only have the key on.

 

Hi, sorry for a lame question related to fuel, where exactly is the fuel filter located on a 91 240 wagon? I searched the forum and I guess everyone but me knows it's location. Is there a replacement stock #- Thanks in advance - Bill

 

The filter is located under the drivers side.

 

Tech, thanks for the fast reply, without sounding more foolish but I've been unable to locate the filter. Obviously I am not understanding exactly where to look. I am also ignorant as to where the flame trap can be found. I took two books out of library (service manuals one generic [no help at all] one by Chilton [also little help]) Your patient assistance will keep me from going to a repair shop. Thanks again - Bill

 

There should be a plate that extends outward from the car by the rear axle on the drivers side that is connected by 3 bolts. The fuel pump and filter is in there. If you do not see that the fuel filter is a cylinder like object about 15cm long on the drivers side that is exposed.

 

also about the books. if you want a little knowledge drop by autozone, pep boys, etc. and get the haynes book. not all that great but you'll learn some. want a college degree??? get the bentley book. i got one and i love it. covers everything. good luck bud...

 

I took your advice and ordered a Bentley manual, should be shipped to me in a few days. Thanks - Bill

 

Autozone sells the filter ($16),
also get the fuel check valve ($6) because removing the old one from the filter is .....difficult,
I had to use an impact wrench to break it loose.

you also neednew copper washers.
