Fuel pump replacement
Hey,
My pump appears to be suffering from old age and I need to replace it.
In order to replace the fuel pump in a starion, do you have to lower/remove the fuel tank?
Also, can it be replaced with anything other than a Starion pump? i.e. VR-4?? As I live in a place plentiful of VR-4's and very easy to obtain VR-4 pump for cheap.
Cheers
Its an 87 4G63T.

hmmm i wonder who will flame this guy for not using the search button :roll:
mate, you can replace with a VL pump, a VLT pump, one of hte bosch 900 series pumps i believe (but only with a lift and surge tank due to pulling power) and some other pumps with minor modifications.
the VL and VLT are the same pump i am told and are the most straight forward to install, just a slight modification to the hose so that it plugs up, mounting in standard position is perfectly fine.

Watch your speed - It's virtually impossible to pick it out of the carpet if it gets blown off the table.

Best bet is a VL turbo fuel pump. You can get direct replacements, but they're more expensive.
You don't need to drop the tank. See this thread:
