How much should I expect to pay for fuel pump?

Manufacturer shop prices. That just sucks. I see that your state has a fairly active consumer complaint office. You might consider launching a formal compliant with them.

O.K. Brace yourselves....








$1522.00 including tax.

And yes, they did refill the gas.

And someone screwed with the bike rack. Too dark to tell how much damage...

I might be able to figure a way to do it were the coach on my pad at home. Out on a trip? YIKES!

Paul, I've thought of pre-emptive action. Drop Tank, Remove Pump. Replace Pump with Tubing, maybe even a Gutted Pump. Then install an In-Line Pump close to the Tank.

A few OP's here have done something like that with the older carbureted E350's. It's easier because the old low-pressure pumps allow fuel to be pulled through them when not running. The problem seemed to be that the new pumps just didn't last very long. I suppose the pump could be installed with roadside replacement in mind...

And to answer the question of how much gas is in the tank..... We've only driven about 50 miles since a full tank top off...

Does that all get dumped? Or will they put it back in?

Thanks again!

They put it all back. They'll just drain it out out into 5 gallon type plastic fuel jugs, then pour it back in.

Rock, I'm sure they put 'em in the tank for Cost and Ease of (factory) Assembly. But there IS a practical advantage. An in-tank WILL pressurize the full fuel system RIGHT NOW once you turn the Key On. Also, there's a practical advantage: Much less tendency for gasoline under Pressure to Vapor Lock than when under Suction.

Pump could be mounted to the outside of the tank and still have a fully pressorized system. So I believe it is a cost and ease of assembly thing at the factory.

That came up with mine too I had a full tank. Can't really remember the details but I think it had to do with a tank big enough to hold the gas and epa laws.

I just told them to give it to the repair guys in the shop and they gave me a discount on the repair bill. Everyone was happy.

If it was mine, they damned well BETTER put it back in, unless they can prove to me that it somehow was contaminated,( I don't know how it would be) if they spill it, dump it or do anything else with it, THEY should pay to fill it.

$900.00 on my previous RV 11 years ago! F-53 chassis.
