Installing a fuel pump. Need help.....

Installing a new fuel pump on my 2000 Exc. 7.3l. I bought the Airtex e2236 and it has some brass washers in a bag. Do they go on the "in" side of the pump where the plastic threads meet the brass nipple by the o ring? Are they crush washers? Also how do I get the quick connect seperated on the outlet(engine side)? Is there a tool or what?

Thanks

I just changed mine out 2 months ago with an OEM Bosch pump and I dont remember any brass crush washers with mine. Yes you will need a fuel disconnect tool to get the line off going to the eng. You can pick it up at any auto parts store. You can buy each piece sep or a whole kit for about $15.

I would highly recommend installing a pre fuel filter before the pump also.

Does your pump look like this one from Clay @ RiffRaffDiesel?

Great choice on pump. The tool is available at any auto parts store.
I had to shorten the insert of my release tool (used an angle grinder).

The pump and loose parts, i use the pump assembled to the metal inlet with the O ring inside it { use these parts, 1) pump, 2) O ring, 3) inlet }.
It comes with parts for several different installations so you do not have to purchase the needed parts individually.
