FORD 4.6L IN-TANK FUEL PUMP

INSTALLATION (1999-2003 Models)

A. Raise the rear of the car and support it with

jack stands.

B. Open the fuel door and remove the fuel cap

and the three filler neck screws using a 10mm
socket.

C. Remove the fuel filter inlet line with a 3/8"

spring-lock tool.

D. With the weight of the fuel tank supported

with a jack, remove the bolts securing the two
fuel tank straps.

E. Slowly lower the fuel tank, allowing it to lean

over with the filler side up until the electrical
connections leading to the center mounted
fuel pump are revealed. Disconnect these two
electrical connections.

F. Remove the six bolts securing the fuel pump

access cover (on top of the fuel tank) with an
8mm wrench. Depress the two clips securing
the plastic fuel pump enclosure and slide it
out of the tank. The fuel sender float is
attached to the fuel pump enclosure and must
be handled with care. Ensure that the tank has
been lowered enough to remove the fuel
pump enclosure.

fuel pump outlet manifold to the enclosure
cap. Pull the manifold up and away from the
fuel pump.

H. Remove the three screws securing the fuel

pump enclosure cover using a 3/16" nut driver
and remove the cover.

Remove the stock fuel pump from its enclo-
sure. Separate the rubber pump support from
beneath the filter and install it on the supplied
pump. Secure the support with the new filter
provided.

J. Using the supplied fuel pump, reassemble the

fuel pump assembly and canister with cap.

K. Reinstall the canister assembly into the fuel

tank. Reattach the electrical connections.

L. Reinstall the fuel tank, reconnect the fuel fil-

ter inlet line, reattach the fuel filler neck, and
reinstall the fuel pump.
