Can a fuel pump be removed from a motorhome?
Removing the filter and vent tube completely sucks as there is no easy way to access the clamps. Just do your best and be patient and eventually you’ll get a ratchet on it. Once you get off the filler tubes you can drop the tank from the rear and then there is enough room to access the fuel pump.
Why is my fuel pump not working on my Ford F53?
The motorhome has been displaying evidence of fuel starvation. It’s been pinging under load and it has been stalling right on a cold start suggesting the fuel pump wasn’t supplying nearly enough pressure. Recently the check engine light came on for oxygen sensor lean condition.
How does a fuel pump stick to the bottom of the tank?
The new pump also has a spring loaded mechanism to make it stick to the bottom of the tank. Zip tie this in order to shorten the assembly as much as possible and then cut the zip tie after it’s installed. The fuel lines are quick disconnect and you need the proper tool.
Why did Ford change the pump on my motorhome?
Part of the reason we were quick to blame the pump without much fanfare and diagnostic work was because the pump is a known problem. Our motorhome has a build date of 3 ⁄ 96 and before 6 ⁄ 96 Ford used a gear driven pump. After 6 ⁄ 96 they replaced this pump with a completely different turbine pump.
