I have an 850 estate and the fuel pump needs replacement, how do you disconnect the fuel lines.

I have seen a thread that says to disconnect the "quick release" connectors, how exactly do you disconnect them.

Cheers Steve

 

You need to pry them upwards.

Edit: Post #35 was my post on the directions. They are very good directions but if you need help let us know.

Maybe this is a silly question, but can you get access to the pump through the floor in the 850 wagon?

 

^What do you mean?

Look at that link I posted because one of the links is instructions for wagons (but it applies to sedans equally.)

If you pull up the matting in your trunk, you will see a circular metal thing on the passenger side. Underthere is the pump.

 

Sorry, must have missed that part.

 

^No problem.

Did you find it?

Edit: Find the fuel pump location I mean..

 

Yep found it - it was one of the other links within your directions. I hadmy fuel pumpreplaced about a month ago ($600!). I usually do all the work myself, but it died on the way to work so I had to have it towed somewhere. That somewhere was an import place down the street, I noticed the last couple times after I filledthe tankup completely it smelled like gas. The bozos at the shop didnt even tighten the ring down - I tightenend it by hand thenused a screwdriver to tap it tighter, guess I'll stay away from that place.

 

^Wow....If you could tighten it by hand that is VERY loose.

It's supposed to be 30 (I forget what the unit is called). But it's 3x what you can do by hand is the recommended tightness.
