<p>Walbro 255lph in-tank pump installation for 21 gallon tank 760 models.</p>
<p><font face="Arial">Disclaimer: This is for information purposes only.
</font> </p>
<p><font face="Arial">Tools: Metric socket set, hammer, piece of wood, wire crimper, wire
cutter, multimeter (nice, but not required) , screw drivers, flared wrench set
or crescent wrench set, something to catch and block off fuel.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Parts: wire, crimp on wire connectors, electrical tape, new fuel filter,
walbro pump, higher pressure fuel line, brass barb</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">First this you will need to do is start your car. Open your fuse panel
and located the in-tank pump fuse and the main pump fuse. Simultaneously
pull both fuses and let the car die. After the car is dead remove the keys
from the ignition and disconnect the negative battery cable.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">You can start with either the in-tank assembly removal or the main pump
removal . It really doesn't matter. We will start with the in-tank
assembly. Open your trunk and pull back the carpeting at the far back
drivers side. You should find a black plate held with 4 10mm bolts.
Remove the bolts and plate and put them somewhere safe. Now you should see
the locking ring and the top of the in-tank assembly. Carefully remove the
hoses and clamps and push them aside. Cut the wires or unplug the harness
if you can. Use a piece of wood and a hammer to loosen the plastic locking
ring enough to loosen by hand. Remove the locking ring.</font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">To remove the in-tank assembly pull it
out while rotating it from the six o-clock position turn the unit clockwise to
about the ten o-clock position and put it some someplace safe. Cover the
gas tank opening so nothing gets in. Clean the locking ring seal if you
plan to use it again.</font></p>

<p><font face="Arial">The fuel sender and in-tank assembly you have just removed should look
something like this. Now would be a good time to clean the corrosive stuff
off the top and inspect the fragile piping. Set it on a clean bench so you can begin to swap
pumps. Be careful around the metal piping because it is fragile.
Start by removing the fuel pump hose and snipping the wires in a way they can be
reattached later. Remove the filter sock, pump and pump holster.
Leave the metal bracket that holds the pump holster on the sender.</font></p>

<p><font face="Arial">Now it is time to attach the new pump. You will need
4 hose clamps to do this. Use two of them to secure the pump to the metal
bracket on the sender and the other two to help secure the metal bracket to the
sender. Make sure the clamps don't interfere with the movement of the
sender though. Attach the filter sock. Attach the included fuel pump
hose and reconnect all the wires. Now it is time to put the sender back in
the tank.</font></p>

<p><font face="Arial">Shine a flashlight into the gas tank and take note of the location of the
splash shield at the bottom of the tank. The splash guard will make it
difficult to get the sender back in as it can catch on the sending unit.
Install it the opposite of how you got it out. Start at the 10 o'clock
position and rotate it counter clockwise to the 6 o'clock position while letting
it fall down and in. Make sure the gas tank seal is securely on the lip of
the opening and push the sender all the way in in the same orientation it was as
when you removed it. Put the locking ring back on and tighten it.
Reconnect the wires and hoses. It may be a good idea to rewire the pump to
use the main fuel pump circuit. To do this extend the main pumps
lead from under the car into the trunk to supply in the in-tank with power.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Now jack up the car to remove the main pump. Remove the three 12mm
bolts and disconnect the hoses and wires. Some fuel will spill. What
you get should look like this. Remove the main pump and toss it.
Stick in a new fuel filter. Replace the section of rubber hose under the
car going to the fuel pump with a high pressure piece. You will need to
head to the hardware store with the hose and filter to figure out what brass
fittings you will need to go from the larger 1/2" size hose to the smaller hose
the filter uses. Reattach everything under the car as normal. The
outlet side of the fuel filter requires no modifications. Start the car up
and look for leaks.</font></p>
