man after reading that one about the carerra GT having one in the gas tank , remove engine, then remove fuel tank, to replace fuel pump....................IT ALL MAKES SENSE!
lets put a super critical part somewhere no one can find w/out a shop manual, 15 years of classroom studies, 5 years of OTJ, and then charge them some insane price per hour to fix car.
THATS INTELLIGENT! more service bucks for the dealership.
for the life of us older guys why in the hell did u.s. mfg.s have to do this with fuel pumps. even if it is EFI??? there has got to be a better way to keep a fuel pump that has electical current running thru it, inside or next to fuel and vapors, cool and not overheat it.
anyway called autozone and their district manager is supposed to contact me. have all receipts. they pay hourly repair bill by the mitchell manual for reimbursement.
sounds like their gonna pay up. we will see.
i got so fed up with changing out big block 454 mechanical fuel pumps. GIANT PITA due to location against cross members, that we stuffed a mallory electric fuel pump , fuel pressure regulator, and super zoomy mongo sized fuel filter, block off plate and never replaced it. lasted over 12 years.
