Can I install a inline fuel pump on my 03 ford expedition?
I can't afford a OEM fuel pump
No. Because the one in the tank is a "pusher". A inline pump that you want to install is a "puller". But it will not be able to pull fuel from the tank with the pusher still in the way, blocking the line. You would have to remove the pump in the tank first. Then you are back to square one.
Well, like the other responder said you can, but you'd have to get rid of the old one inside the tank. The part that holds the fuel pump & drops down into the tank is called the 'hat'. They make 'hats' with no pump so you can use an external pump, but I doubt that it would be cheaper that a replacement pump. The guys who put external pumps are the drag racers, & they do it because the internal pump can't move enough gas fast enough for their high-powered engine. So a set-up for them is well over a grand & will pump your tank dry on 3 to 5 minutes…
Nope the inline pump is not strong enough, won't hold the correct pressure The fuel pump in your vehicle is capable of pressures around 100 or more PSI.Newer direct injected motors have fuel pressures in the 1000 PSI range Its regulated down just before it enters the engine to be burned. The inline pump will most likely far less than your factory pump Your also risking a fire by tampering with your fuel lines I know its expensive to replace But you can't safely or reliably by-pass your intake pump for some inline unit that was not designed for want you want to do with it You need to buy the OEM replacement
- Location of 1998 Ford Taurus fuel pump. Does it have a fuel cut-off switch? Car shut down suddenyl without warning. New battery and cranks but will not start. Suspect bad fuel filter, 130K miles and fuel filter has never been replaced.
- My 1999 ford ranger has 20 lbs of pressure on the fuel line. Do i need a fuel pump? After I tested the pressure and shut the motor off the pressure went down to 0 quick. When I just turn the key I don't get any pressure
- 2003 Ford Ranger Won't Start after Fuel Pump install? About 2 weeks ago, I replaced the fuel filter and all 6 spark plugs to do some regular maintenance and upkeep. 3 days ago, hard to start. Had to turn key a couple times to prime- then would fire right up. Replaced fuel pump yesterday, now I have no start at all. It just cranks, and barely starts to turn over, only to bog out. When it starts to bog out, i tap the gas to try and get my RPMS up, but I have no throttle response at all.
- When changing the power steering pump on a KA (54) can you use PTFE tape to seal the pressure line from pump? I have changed the power steering pump on a ford KA (54) and when removing the pressure line from the pump there was some kind of seal on it but I don't know what it was, so I was hopping that PTFE tape would do the same job at sealing the thread. Any help please. Andy.
