Fuel Pump Assembly Broke
Took off the fuel pump assembly only to find out the reason why the Z wont start... the assembly was literally just hanging off.. is this a common issue where the fuel pump assembly just breaks off??
I drive my car fairly normal, no track.. 09 370z 100k miles Was wondering if I should try to DIY fix it or just find a replacement fuel pump assembly. |

Normally you would heat those plastic tits up with a heat gun & pull the rods out,,,they have a small nipple on them. I haven’t seen one break off before; unless someone has mishandled it in the past

Others will chime in & help,,,as that bottom piece is a basket for the fuel pump & filter assembly to sit in. It unclips from the housing. There’s a strainer on the bottom of the pump & notice the fuel line does a 180* from the pump....as it pipes back down through a built in paper filter & then up to the top.

This failure is starting to become more common. phunk is ahead of the curve on this.

Unsure how long the oem paper filter last (before stopping up) others may know. You may be able to install a new one (in tank) without adding a new fuel line & making a return system,,,as the oem internally regulates fuel pressure & uses bypass pressure to work a venturi to pull fuel from the other side of tank...that’s the other hose you will see in tank that crosses over...”Phunk” is the owner of CJM Motorsports & he should be able to answer all questions....but his setup is definitely better than OE

I appreciate all the referrals from you guys.
Current production runs are bright black with laser white logo. As of 2 weeks ago, the stock type install kit include a swivel bulkhead fitting that can freely spin around (other than when it contacts the plugs of the unused holes). Hoping to update the website to reflect this sooner than later. |
