how do you store a fuel pump?
Im pulling a car apart and I know the project will take a long time.
Since fuel lubricates the pump and maybe prevents corrosion... Do I leave fuel in the fuel pump, or drain it? If I leave fuel in maybe a short hose on either end with some clamps? If I drain it, anything to spray\run through the inside to protect it prior to setting it aside? Anything special I should be doing with fuel lines while Im at it? Does someone know about any good threads \ reading material on how to store a vehicle? Thanks

If you're removing the pump from the vehicle, drain it well, attach short
hose to suction side & run a small amount of diesel fuel thru pump with battery power. 5 seconds will do it & keep it lubed. |

I pulled the fuel pump out of my 74 Targa after it set up with gas in it for 20 years. I was told to soak it in carb cleaner and then try it out. After all that time in that poor storage environment, it still works like a champ.
