My first was an 88 Ford Taurus. Until I thought about it, it was strange
to me that there were just plain old spade connections to a pump that is
submerged in gasoline! And of course, taking the gas tank out because
the pump/sending unit came out of the top was a task, not like the old
days, it had about everything in the way!
I just bought an $800 fuel pump in my Explorer.
I really should have paid the $100 (or more) to have it towed home and
fixed it myself.
YOUCH!!!
NAPA auto center.
The lesson here is never break down too far from home.
They talked me into buying the whole assembly (pump, gauge sender,
float and base) by saying (essentially) that they usually break
something else trying to just replace the pump)
When mine went out it was while sitting next to a gas pump and the station fixed cars as well
as selling gedunk.
