mrtm2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I got the new fuel pump today and I'm curious if I need to put some gas in the filter before securing it back in the tank and firing up the engine. I don't want to damage the filter by starting it out of the box if it needs some gas to start inside of it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I dont think you have to worry about it. Just turn the key to on but dont start the engine. You should hear the pump prime. Make sure fuel level is at least 1/8 to play it safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtm2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thanks man. So i put it in and it seems the fuel pump extends all the way to the bottom of the tank. I'm gonna take it back out tomorrow and see if there's a switch I missed... but it's vibrating the bottom of the tank and it's kind of a nuisance.

mrtm2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Okay thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtm2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Just a heads up. Been driving it around for the last week and doesn't seem to be an issue other than the fact it's resting on the bottom of the tank and the hum from the pump is vibrating the bottom of the tank and producing an annoying hum.
