Default RE: fuel pump

I'm not sure it's really a matter of pressure as much as it is volume. The operating pressure is listed as 43psi which isn't much at all. The in-tank pump is described as supplying extra fuel during hot weather and/or high altitudes. Some have stated you'll never know if it isn't working unless it's a hot summer day and your driving in the mountains, but when I replaced my main fuel pump I went ahead and changed the in-tank one too just to be on the safe side. Like you've noticed it's a little less expensive then the main pump and it only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to change it, not long at all, well worth it in my opinion.

Sure is normal. That's a good sign that you don't have any crud in your fuel tank. So did you spill any fuel on the trunk carpet or am I the only one that happens to??
