Are you sure this is gonna work for an engine with port fuel injection and is the external pump going to suck fuel through the bad internal unit, as well?
AFAIK, there was only one Ford in-tank pump back in the early '80's that wouldn't allow fuel to be sucked thru it...and that was only available for a year. Ford pulled it from the shelves and from factories after the uproar it caused with mechanics and suppliers. Any other pump that would not allow that would have some rare internal blockage issue.
Am I sure it will work in YOUR particular situation? No way. I'm pretty sure it will work in most situations of bad in-tank pumps though.
It is under $100 for the pump and plumbing, takes less than an hour to install, and when I did mine, I thought, well, it's sure cheaper and much, much less hassle to just try it then it is to drop the tank. And if it doesn't work, I'm not out much.
Turned out it worked fine. And has been for 11 years now. Not that that's proof it will work for anyone else, but it worked for me.
What were/are the particulars for your application with the engine specs. and whether gas or diesel?
