Replaced the fuel pump on my Bronco.
Now, a full size Bronco has a 33 gallon tank, and fuel pumps only go out when the tank is at least half full.
So instead of dropping the tank I cut a fuel pump access hole and used a piece from an old F150 bed to make the cover.
Upon exposing the fuel pump, I discovered relics from the DPO (Dreaded Previous Owner, Dumb Previous Owner, or in this case Dip**** Previous Owner)
They had kinked the hard fuel line from the tank to the filter 90 degrees.
And then to add insult to the dip****ery, they also squashed the hard line nearly flat under the tank strap.
Now none of this can be seen unless you drop the tank, or in my case cut an access hole.
They probably unleashed all this carnage as they were hoisting the tank back into place.
I'm surprised the truck ran at all, though it had to be starving for fuel at high RPMs.
Oh well, I've ordered the complete tank to filter fuel line from Broncograveyard.com
The new engine will be much happier with a non-squashed fuel line.
Can you still swap out everything from your access hole , or do you have to drop the tank now ? ( Man I hope not ) !
Today I bought my other car, well a truck actually. My father had been wanting to replace his 2015 Ram, yesterday he picked up a 24 Ranger lariat and today sold me his Ram! Excited for that as a new home owner a truck quickly felt needed! Since it does need some here and there things I got some brake rotors to get the brakes back to snuff. View attachment 648600
Sold the JK yesterday...........
A couple stopped by and wanted it more than I did. They paid asking price without batting an eye........
That's because you included all the JK ducks with it...
My replacement fuel line finally came in and I got the chance to swap it out.
Behold the carnage wrought on the original fuel line by the DPO.
Remember this is a HARD fuel line.
The 90 degree bend (that sprayed fuel on me when I removed it. Nightmares on what could've happened if that had sprayed fuel while I was driving it for years).

And where they managed to crimp it nearly flat between the tank and a tank strap.

Once again, I am surprised it ran at all.
It was weak which I always assumed was just that the engine was tired.
Watch it run like a raped ape now that it can actually get fuel.
Oh well.
With the new engine it will run like a Democrat to a Soros funded protest.
Is DPO the Dumb Previous Owner?
Ouch!
How'd that happen?
Those gears and the chain look bone dry.
Usually with gears leaving the chat like that, there's oil everywhere.
