'93 fuel pump
A friend has a '93 Bronco with a bad fuel pump. He recently ordered this one from RockAuto. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1400545. However after looking at several other sites, they all show one that looks like this.

Does anyone know if he bought the right part? Does what he bought fit inside the other one? The description says repair kit.
Thanks for any info.

His truck runs rough, smooth, sometimes cuts out by itself. No rhyme or reason. I guess the troubleshooting he's done is down to it. He recieved the pump last thursday, so hopefully it'll be up and running this weekend. I know when I talked to him Thursday night, he had the tank just about out.

I took my tank out and back in in an afternoon. The best thing was the 1/2 inch impact wrench to get the nuts off the bolts. They are metric. I've noted the size on another thread about my DonKo.
Have the tank cleaned out at a radiator shop.

Remind him to replace the fuel filter once he has put the new pump in. You never know what kind of crud will get knocked loose inside the fuel system when you remove the tank... even if he does have the tank cleaned as g_k50 suggested. Best to err on the side of caution.

I cut an access hole in my '95 to replace my fuel pump a few weeks ago. It took me less than 10 min. to cut the hole with a jigsaw and another 15 min. to replace the pump. I had a full tank and didn't want to drain 20+ gal. of gas, and now I have a nice new access panel any time I need it.

I haven't done it so I don't want to guess at the best method when others have actually completely the project safely and effectively. However, I can tell you that the collar for the pump/sending unit is near the forward center of the tank. Best to let someone who has actually done this give you more precise info though.

You measure from the rear of the bed 26" to the front cut and 18" for the rear cut. There are some spot welds along the 26", cut just behind them. My opening is 8"x11" centered in the bed. I dilled holes in all four corners, be careful not to drill the tank. Then I used a jig saw to complete the opening, be careful of the Fuel lines. I slid a thick piece of conveyor belt up in between the tank and bed to help protect it. you could use sheet metal also. Use the shortest Jig saw blade,even grind it down if necessary. Then you have to fab up a lip for the cut out piece to screw back onto. I use some 1" strips of steal and screwed them around the opening to make a 1/2" lip for the cut out to rest on. Put some weather striping on and screw it down.
