fuel pump access?

[Bill Barber]

Fuel pump has been on the fritz for several years now,am certain it is nothing more than a 5 cent checkvalve:angry:

Do you think you can access the pump by removing the bed VS/ dropping the tank?

For some reason I think that fuel pump opening is covered up by a frame crossmember so you would have to drop the tank.

If you have to reset the cutoff switch each time you have a prob with the pump......

it might very well be the switch. :grin:

 

[Bill Barber]

Not the cutoff switch,is a bad checkvalve in the fuel pump,allows the gas to drain back in the tank.

Turn the key on and off several times,primes the system,all is well.

This is what I could see of the tank with the bed off of my 2002. Judge for yourself, noting the 03 may be a bit different. You'll be dropping the tank.:sad:

USN-ret, the switch operation may be affected by the position of the tailgate, just FYI.:cheeky:

Makes one want to cut an opening on that cross member to access the pump. Unfortunately, I am sure that would disrupt the integrity of the cross member in which the bed is bolted too.
