[V8] (no subject)

[Kneale Brownson]

The procedures and parts generally would be the same as the 200q20v, and
there's a good description on Chris Miller's 200q20v pages:
http://members.aol.com/c1j1miller/engine.html#Fuel Pump      I replaced one
nonfunctional pump (couldn't drive until the tank was nearly empty) and
found that the best way to minimize fuel in the tank is to siphon it out.
I've tried with a little hose through the fuel filler, but found that using
one of those siphon pumps through the service opening in the top of the
tank to be the easiest.  I took the cover retainer off the first time with
a piece of Oak and a hammer, but now have a brass punch and brass hammer to
avoid sparking.   Some folks have been able to dislodge the pump from its
retainer basket by hand or with a gloved hand, but I found the pump tool
described in the Miller page necessary.  I also needed it when I took a
pump out of a tank I was replacing because it leaked.
