Attn bay area owners who need to change their fuel pump...read on

So I just finished my pump repair but was disappointed with most of the instructions and the lack of a video diy

If anyone in the Bay Area needs help replacing their fuel pump I am offering to help.

I know I can probably do the fuel pump top to bottom in probably 30 minutes and I just want to be able to do a video tutorial to help others in the future

Mine went out at 130k plus

Basically what would happen is that under load it would surge or not wouldnt be able to continue under load and die

When the engine would die it would frank but not fire up.

I learned a little trick thump the gas tank from below the car like the fonzi trick with the window regulator and you will be good for a bit
