Um, just dont use any flame source near fuel vapour. Its more flammable than fuel itself. That goes for using torches etc as well when looking into the tank....try using a digital with night vision...lol :D

get a dolphin torch they are pretty well sealed i used it and a flourecent light.The flouro was a light made for working on cars with seals at both ends of the light.

To get at the tank once youve accessed the pannel you need to take the hoses off these can be absolute bastards to get off but they come off eventually.Then you need a bar and a hammer to unscrew the big black thread that holds the pick-up and seal in place once thats done the pump is very easy to get out.To tightem the big black thread back up you need to hand tighten it and then bash it back on with the hammer and bar again.When you put it all back together and turn the car on to see if it works leave the cover plate off to make sure that there are no leaks coming from any of the hoses you have put back on

Just in case you needed help from someone whos done it before.

well mission unsuccessful :D

its a braver man than me that buggers around in there,

got the black lid off with difficaulty, lifted the white lid off but simply could not see in there, shined a torch in with hesitation (but all was good) but there were too many wires and stuff in there couldnt get the white one off all the way, just lifted it up which made evereything too awkward. so its a job for a proffesional for me :D

PLUS i think that might not even be my problem, my prob is the needle has dropped ff past empty but then comes back up intermitantly, might juts be electrics

i'm slightly worried, i didnt pull anything hard or anyhting... can the fuel pump be buggered with at all from the exercise i just prformed?

i know the sound of my car, (you just get to know exactly what everything sounds like) and the fuel pump priming sounds just a little different, like its lower by one octave if you know what i mean.

upon first startup the check engine light flashed on for like a millisecond too but i'm chalking that down the the battery being out for a few hours becasue it took just slightly longer to turn over.

Hi ,allways thought that the fuel sender was the line coming from the pump to the distribution block that then sent fuel to the injector rail.

Its easy as pie and once you get access to the underneath of the fuel distribution block you should easily be able to get the sender line thats in tank if its the one im thinking of.

But the pump itself is attatched to a bracket.If you put your arm inside the tank directly in front of you is the bracket that holds the pump bracket.Admitably it is hard to see inside,so just run your hand down the pickup line to the pump lift it out easy.

When putting the bracket and pump back in remember the two forks on the bracket slide it back into its stock location,and it does so with ease no force nessessary.

You should make sure you push it against the back wall of the tank where it came from,and that the fuel pump pickup is facing in the direction from whence it came.

Keep us updated.

I want to know what you mean and if i am right about where the fuel sender in the fuel tank is.:):):P:)

Haha! we did that little exercise at the racetrack today. The fuel pump wasn't in right and I was getting fuel cut in the corners. About an hour of fiddling and swearing and finally Belgarian got it in for us. The fuel sender is the large white plastic thingy that sits to the driverside of the pump.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
