<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>I used a car-lift and
had access to a couple of those 6' screw-jacks which I was able to use to
precisely locate that tank into any posture I wanted-- both while lowering and
re-hooking it. When I think of all the screw-tweaking I had to do to get
that tank into the position I wanted it, bungee-cords might have been a better
bet.... Next time!</FONT></DIV>

the best advice I got when doing a Ty<BR>fuel pump repeatedly was to use bungee
straps to hold<BR>the tank in place once you get the metal straps off.<BR>It
allows you room to shift the tank around while<BR>getting the lines back
on.<BR><BR>That and make sure the tank is as empty as you can get<BR>it. I
hooked up to the fuel rail and put +12V on the<BR>fuel pump test lead, of course
thats not an option<BR>with a dead pump. But even a weak one will empty
the<BR>tank for you.<BR><BR>Also, before tearing into it spray the fitings
down<BR>with some PB Blaster, or whatever penetrating oil you<BR>prefer.<BR>It
will lessen the chance of twisting the stock<BR>brittle lines.<BR><BR>Use line
wrenches not open ends to prevent rounding.<BR><BR>And I have heard more than
once that removing the bed<BR>on a Sy was easier than dropping the tank on the
Ty.<BR>Then again I never took Dennis' disertation on foreign<BR>debris into
consideration. On second thought I never<BR>flushed any of the tanks I have
done.<BR><BR>Part of the voltage supply problem at the pump is that<BR># of
junctions/switches the power has to go through<BR>before reaching the terminals
at the pump. Look at any<BR>SyTy schematic. There is a major voltage drop
through<BR>the park/neutral safety switch, the Oil pressure<BR>switch and the
ignition cylinder.<BR>A common fix is to not rely on the marginal
stock<BR>wiring and use it only to trigger a relay supplying<BR>fresh juice
right off the alternator. This helps<BR>insure you get whats at your alternator
is AT the<BR>pump. not -3V.<BR><BR>Best of luck getting it swapped, and go for
the<BR>Walbro.<BR>It is designed to outperform the undersized stock pump<BR>in
every aspect.<BR><BR>Jason<BR><BR>--- Jeffrey Smirz <<A

The Ty's OEM pump is down to about 25 psi. The poor<BR>> thing
