Fuel Pump Question

[Daniel Beckman 2]

Ok, potentially stupid question but I'll ask any way. Does it matter if I get a used fuel pump or should I just bite the bullet and get a new one? If I can get by with a used one, does it matter what year I take it off of?

Honestly I would never play with that used...The time and labor to replace it is not worth my time.



I am not rich enough to be cheep..... Just a saying i try to live by...



As far as years go if go used,,, obviously get one as new as possible

I agree with Todd. The labor is too intensive to install a pump that may or may not fail prematurely.



That is not to say that new pump wont fail in a week, but if it does, at least you will have some sort of warentee...

$216 bux at Walls, forget used.

For the same reson you never buy used water pumps, oil pumps, etc It's a lot of work to replace them, so why risk having to replace them again in a month or two when they die. If if you get the fuel pump free, it's just not worth the trouble to replace a used mechanical or electrical part. Some rebuilt parts are fine if they have been factory rebuilt and have a warranty, but used parts should only be used if a new or rebuilt part is not available, and even then it should be inspected, rested or rebuilt to ensure it's even worth using.

Because of the amount of labor involved in replacing the fuel pump, the advice to purchase new is a very sound one.

Will a fuel pump from a 05 fit in a 02?
