How To Change In-tank Fuel Pump In Ford Galaxy

[hassan]

Hi All:

 

Just wish to contribute some thing and share it will all of you

 

I was having problems with starting earlier this month and tried every thing encluding:

Infamous Relay 30

Changed Brand New Coil Pack

Re-Programmed Key

 

but all in vain

 

Finally It was diagnosed that the Fuel Pump was busted. I tried to get the QUOTE for a new fuel pump and to my suprise the best quote I got was 515 + VAT. Too much and inflated prices dissappointed me so much that decisded to sell the car even though I did not wish to. I searched the entire web to know how to change the Fuel Pump but did not find a sigle bit not even on this forum. But then someone an angel came and told me what to do to change. He gave me instructions and the address of the place where I could buy a used one.

 

Guys....Believ it or not, It was all sorted out in 75 Quad and 1/2 Hour of my own labour. :angry2:

 

I am going to post the video and all that you can do is as follow:

 

1-Open Right Side Passenger door and remove the seat.

2-Unscrew the side scerting and pull the carpet out.

3-You will see a roundish black plate with three screws and which is secured underneath a solisd bar with 4 bolts.

4-Un-screw Bolts and unscrew the round plate.

5-Vallah There you will see the top of the fuel pump. which is secured with a round screwable cover.

6-First You will see an ARROW Please note the position of arrow.

You will see 2 pipes, in the bottom of the pipes you will see a round shape (which is a clip) take a small screw drive Press the clip and pull up.

7-Power Clip is also there, hols two sides of power clip and press and pull carefully.

8-Using a flat surface screw drive and a hammer, tap slowly the round cover Anti-Clock wise.

9- Remove the cover and slowly and gently hold the pump and give an anti-clock tund a Quarter to losen it from the rubber grip.

10-Its lose now and ready to take out. Carefully take it out but very slowly as it full of petrol and you need to shake it well to drain as much petrol as possible.

11-Using a thick cloth beneath the device remove it.

 

Place the new one in carefully and gently making sure the rubber gaskit is properly sealing the device,screw back the RING to fix it making sure that ring is being screwed evenly.

 

CAUTION:

Dont use any device which can produce spark al all times

Absolutely No smoking during the whole procedure

Make sure you have place plenty of absorbent beneath the tank (on the floor) to avoide petrol spillage on the ground.

Rubber Ring must be scurely and evenly tightned by tapping with screw driver and hammer but gently.

 

I hope this may help many of the forum member to avoide hefty repaire bill for oil pump.

 

I will upload the videos on you tube and then let you know guys

 

All the Best

Just to clarify though, that's the passenger side Middle row seat and not the actual passenger seat isn't it?
