Hey everyone, my 93 5.0 Bronco's fuel pump and I are having a fight it seems, Iwant it to work and it decided to fail... so what I've been looking at doing is instead of replaceing it with another intank pump (tired of droping tank and cant make an access hole in the bed for personal reasons) is useing a MSD inline pump that can mount on the frame rails i want some peoples input on this idea I know it can be done on a 95 Jeep GC with a 5.2 Liter (happens to be my other truck) heres a link to it Swampy Fab Customs.. Stuff page.. Homepage= so my main question here should and would this work ??


Thanks Guys

 

Ford did away with inline pumps moreover due to overheating. The in-tank unit stays submerged to keep it cool during operation. Jeep, huh, try not to hold that against you... just kidding. I haven't read the swap information but does it address the need to get fuel to the pump or does the replacement pump have enough "umph" to draw from the tank AND maintain the necessary fuel pressure. The early Fords used a low pressure in-tank pump along with the high pressure unit on the frame rail to keep the high pressure unit primed. I guess if I have a concern I should fully read the article but there it is in a nutshell.

If it works, I suppose its a great way to avoid having to go through the trouble of dropping the tank every time the pump fails... but then my experience hasn't had me replacing a fuel pump more than once in ANY Ford. Since I am aware of the fuel-cooling scenario with the in-tank pump, I do make it a point to NOT let my fuel level get too low especially in the warmer months.

I say, try it... worst case scenario you still have to replace failed pumps but without the hassle of dropping the tank. Personally I'd rather be certain that I am going to keep a fuel pump working for a significant amount of time between replacements.

 

i think the only other thing i like about the pump is its Lifetime warrenty so if it fails i get another one for free at least that and not having to drop the tank all the time
