Fuel Pump Differences
I have dual tanks, and I'm wondering if the in tank fuel pumps are the same? On rockauto's website, some models don't specify which tank they go to.

What I'd like to do is swap fuel pumps between the tanks (front pump is weak, rear tank is leaking) and just use the front tank. Will it work? Thank you!

Neither of those hangers have the pump in them. Can I swap pumps between the hangers? Sorry, I'm a noob..

when I look up fuel pump on rock auto's catalog, this is one of the parts

What you are calling the pump is the Fuel Delivery Module (FDM).
Yes it is possible.
That is about what you have to do if you buy one from most auto part stores.

What you can get from an auto part store:

I'm confused on this matter...Can you replace the the fuel pump in the assembly or do you need to buy the entire assembly?

My rear pump went out so I was reading this thread and I saw the pump by itself and was a lot cheaper then buying the assembly..

Most buy the entire assembly but some outlets do sell just the pump but it is very hard to open up and put it in.

I wouldn't say it's "very hard" to disassemble the FDM.. it's a bit finicky but it's entirely doable. The "hangers" will swap as well.. easily, the FDM's are all the same.
