Expert Fuel Pump Opinions Needed!
Just got a 2002 Tioga 24D. Base is a Ford e350 Super Duty van. Will turn over strong, but starts for only an instant. With the help of Starting Fluid, will run for several instants. Zero pressure ...

Thank you to all. I do have a motorcycle jack and will see how to work it under the tank. Challenge is that the tank is 55 gallon and seems quite flexible when pushed on (thumped) from the bottom. It appears flush-mounted to the underside of the RV, so there's no peeking up there with a cell phone camera to get familiar with the layout/pump/lines. I have cleaned and/or replaced both of the frame to body grounds, but will look today if there is a specific ground on the tank.
Use a siphon pump and drain the tank to make life easier..
$12 or so, can get Harbor Freight and other stores, was able to empty a 30 gallon tank that was 3/4 full. Sold the truck and because everyone was low balling me (including the one that bought it) they only got a couple of gallons (left enough to get them to the nearest gas station) didn't get the 20 gallons of fuel I removed.
Once empty the tank will be much easier to deal with even if you used a motorcycle lift.. They typically do not give much slack in wiring or fuel lines to work with so having the tank as light as possible will be a bonus.
