Has anyone made an access's panel though the floor of their van to replace the fuel pump? I just need measurements where to cut.

The van wont start but it does runs on starter fluid...

4.2 V6 cargo 1999 e150..

Plus does anyone know if it has 3 line in /outputs or 2? they asked me that when ordering a fuel pump.

 

I believe WvVan did just that in his van: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...amper-van.html

 

Yep----page 12, post #441 to be exact. Great memory Maples01!

Are you sure its your fuel pump and not its fuse or relay causing this? Are you sure its not a clogged filter or the pressure regulator? Checked the inertia fuel cut off switch?

WVVan mentions the steps he took before determining if the pump itself was indeed bad.

 

Ill check the switch..

it has been intermittingly happening on startup were it wont start.

I swapped the relay with the a/c one it was the same..

thanks for the reply... I got it cut already how do you disconnect the fuel lines?

You can probably do it without the cat.

Great post thank you!!

Are the lines 2 different sizes?
3/8 and 5/16 ?

 

Yes. I'm guessing one reason is so you can't hook them back up the wrong way.

 

ok great I'll get both tools. I will let you know how it goes... pick up the new pump in the am.. ty

 

The tool I bought at Advance Auto had a different size on each end so only needed the one tool.

 

what is fuse F20 ? 20amp fuse.. is blown!



I checked the fuel cut off switch under passenger dash and the button was pushed all the way in (no play) im guessing that's how its suppose to be

 

Electric Brake Controller

 

I'm up and running it worked like a charm.. replaced fuel pump, and I'm back to work, thank you... If your ever in Destin, Florida... I'll buy you a beer..
cheers

oh BTW That F20 fuse, I'm guessing that why my trailer brakes are not working

 

Glad I could help.

 

Great thread. I realize this is ancient, but would love to avoid dropping my tank since the van is in my driveway.

I'm trying to find the exact location of this. What is this part (circled) and how far from the left side. I have carpet and a small cabinet that will need to be removed. Any idea of the proximity (fore & aft from the filler door)?
Thanks in advance

 

That's the hump that covers the fuel filler hose. On the outside the gas cap is in line with it.
