Murphy's law states that when you fill your tank, this is when your in-tank fuel pump will die. For good safety reasons, moved the tank to under the rear seat on all vehicles. Even on a 27 gallon filled to the top SUV, that's an extra 162 pounds of weight.
Impossible to siphon out the gas from the filler tube, even tried hanging a weight at the end of the hose. Only way to drain it was to use an external fuel pump, but have three lines going into the tank, the fuel feed line is the one, others are the recir and vent lines. Then where to put that gas, ha, motorhome worked for this, has an 80 gallon tank.
Filler goes into the side of that tank, remove that and will get soaked with gas, no wonder why they charge around a thousand bucks to do this in a shop. Also had to drop the exhaust from the cat back for clearance. Rare to find a vehicle with an access plate to replace the fuel pump, would only cost a couple of bucks extra, but sure makes this job a heck of a lot easier.
Why do they mount the pump inside of the tank? It cheaper, can make a dirt cheap motor that pulls anywhere from 60 to 120 watts that depends on the gas to keep it cool. Run these on a bench in free air under pressure, they will burn up. If the pressure output is less than the fuel regulator, don't get recir, will burn up quickly. This can be caused by a poor electrical connection.
Only owned two vehicles with an external fuel pump, an 84 and a 85 Honda, very easy to replace, but because they were, never had problems with them.
Recall the good old days with an engine driven fuel pump, could buy a rebuild kit for a buck and be done in less than 20 minutes.
Why do we, the people put up with these BS? Cheapest fuel pump for the Cruze I can find on the net is 256 bucks, and positively miserable to replace. But dey all do dis.
