'93 Ford Bronco

[4X4MBRONCO]

1993 Ford Bronco: I just got a Bronco and off the back I was told it needs a new fuel pump. I have read that when swapping out the fuel pumps you should clean the fuel tank as well. What other precaution should be taken? What else is there to look at besides the fuel pump? When switching out a fuel pump should i automatically switch out the relay as well? What other problems could a bad fuel pump cause or lead to?

Thanks in Advance - keep on trukn

hey before you go pulling the gas tank you need to find out if you have two fuel pumps on your beast.If it does have two it verywell could be your high pressure fuel pump thats against the frame under the truck where your driver seat is.If its that pump you saved yourself alot of time but i would turn the key over and listen to see if you hear the pumps running.If you hear the loud one the have somebody listen near the gas tank to see if that one is running.I never had to replace the relay switch for a fuel pump so i cant really help you out there.If you have to pull the gas tank you might as well clean the tank to prevent future clogs. Good luck bro!

a 93 only has the one pump in the tank so you're good there. if you're dropping the tank to replace the pump then you should also replace the sending unit and gas tank lock ring, the sending unit is fairly cheap and dropping the tank anymore times than necessary is a PITA. I dont know about the 93 broncos but my rear tank on my 93 f150 uses the "skid plate" to hold the tank in. if yours has the straps then I strongly recommend getting new tank straps as well.

Installation Lessons Learned

Source: by digitalbill

: If you decide to put in a cheap fuel pump, you are probably going to have to replace it within a year. Either spend the extra money on a really good one or, cut an access door in the bed.

2: Get the right tools for the job. Fuel line removal tools are very cheap and will save you hours of aggravation

3: If you decide to cut an access door, see if you can borrow a 110V angle grinder or an air operated one (if you have access).

I used my 18V ryobi and while it worked fine with the cutoff wheel, I have three batteries and, starting at full charge on all three, they all had to go back on the charger twice before I was finished cutting.

4: Speaking of cutting.. .I got the steps (measurements and stuff) from Steve83 site on SuperMotors site. It looked like he used a sawsall but he also has a body lift. I have the stock lift so I was scared to go too deep. I was right. the vent line is about 1 inch (if that) from the bottom of the bed. I didn't hit it but, that would have sucked.

5: Safety first. I kept a garden hose stuffed up on the top of the tank with it on "mist" to keep everything wet. I don't know if it helped or not but, no fires and there were LOTS of sparks. Eye protection goes without saying...

6: Taking the retaining ring off is easy. MIESK5 Nore; use a Brass drift/punch so there are no Sparks

Putting it back on? Not so much. I bent the "starter" tabs at just a little bit of a downward angle with needle nose plyers and it made putting it back on quite easy.

7: I do not have a patch panel yet so, I cut three sides of the access panel and then just "scored" the 4th side (drivers side) so I could open it up like a door. It is currently closed and duct tape in on the edges until I can get a proper cover for it.

8: Also, if you read Steve83's writeup, he mentioned that the edges are sharp. let me clairify.

YOU WILL GET CUT!!!!!!! Either wear gloves or file down the edges BEFORE screwing with the pump itself.
