What kind of fuel pump does Toyota T-100 use?
Toyota trucks use electric fuel pumps rather than mechanical fuel pumps. Replacing the fuel pump in the Toyota T-100 require completely removing the truck’s fuel tank. Fuel pumps supply gasoline to your vehicle’s engine; a faulty fuel pump can restrict fuel supply and keep your engine from running properly–or running at all.
What to do if your fuel pump is inoperable?
Drive the vehicle or let the engine run until the fuel gauge reads very close to empty. If the fuel pump is inoperable and the vehicle won’t run, you will have to siphon the fuel out of the fuel tank. Relieve the pressure from the fuel lines. Remove the fuel pump relay from the engine bay fuse box, remove the fuel filler cap and crank the vehicle.
How can I fix a leak in my fuel tank?
Tighten the mounting bolts on the fuel tank, then remove the jack. Reattach the fuel filler connection, vent lines and fuel lines. Reattach the support brackets. Lower the vehicle and replace the fuel pump relay and the fuel filler cap. Connect the negative battery cable and start the engine to check for leaks.
How do you install a new fuel pump?
Remove the eight mounting bolts to take out the fuel pump. Discard the old gasket. Install the new gasket and mount the new fuel pump. Use the torque wrench to tighten the pump bolts to 35 foot-pounds. Lift the fuel tank into its mounting position. Have a helper provide support with the jack, but do not rely solely on the jack.
