Pump assembly is available at the top of the tank. You don't have to reach down into the tank to get to it.

- You will need to evacuate practically all of the fuel! There are three access lids: one on top cente - KBATTPO 2017-05-14 19:44:14 (158 views)
  - IMHO, one should either completely drain the tank and completely evacuate the fuel vapors OR - Dave Doolittle 2017-05-15 11:06:00 (144 views)
    - Dave, How would you propose to remove all vapors? - CalG 2017-05-15 14:06:09 (119 views)
      - I would open the doors and run a 24" box fan blowing across the open hatch(es) of the fuel tank  -  Dave Doolittle  2017-05-15 15:00:22 (201 views)
        
        With that said, I prefer to do fuel pump replacements with a full tank and a fire extinguisher  -  Dave Doolittle  2017-05-15 15:01:37 (159 views)
        
        You'll get frostbitten even in July and you'll get a splitting headache. The tank needs to be empty.   -  KBATTPO  2017-05-15 15:37:21 (126 views)
        
        I've done several with full tanks. No frostbite involved...at least not with typical US gasoline.   -  Dave Doolittle  2017-05-16 17:57:07 (135 views)
        
        Hasn't Kneal just disproven the assumption of an empty tank?  -  CalG  2017-05-15 18:09:30 (166 views)
        
        No. I haven't seen the pix yet. The picture in another topic shows that the pump in his 2004 2.7T  -  KBATTPO  2017-05-15 20:12:06 (193 views)
        
        It sure looks as though the pump is in the lowest part of the fuel tank   -  CalG  2017-05-15 21:25:45 (165 views)
        
        Yes, that's what I also suspect.   -  KBATTPO  2017-05-15 21:31:10 (142 views)

        Please reconfirm it. I'm 99% sure that below 1/4 tank is needed.   -  want  2017-05-14 23:45:57 (139 views)
