Say i have a dead stock fuel pump … instead of dropping my tank and buying a $275 pump … could i just run a big inline pump ??? would it pull through the old one ?? ---

That’s a very interesting question. I have a feeling it wouldn’t work but I can’t say for sure. I’d just drop the tank and replace it, but that’s me. ---

Rockauto prices that pump at 168, or 182 depending on what type of pump it has in it. There is usually a 5 percent discount code floating around also. That would save you an extra 8 or 10 bucks or whatever. Essentially the shipping. Also no tax… ---

I wouldn’t worry about breaking the strap bolts really. I’d worry more about breaking the lines on top of the sending unit haha. ---
