You can activate the Inertial Fuel Shutoff, start the engine and let it run until there is no longer any fuel pressure. You can remove the fuel pump Fuse 9 in the BJB, start the engine and let it run until there is no longer any fuel pressure. You can remove the fuel pump relay in the Battery Junction Box (BJB), start the engine and let it run until there is no longer any fuel pressure. There are several ways to accomplish this. See Why change fuel filter? Don't forget to relieve the fuel pressure prior to disconnecting the feed line to the filter.Ģ. While you're doing that consider replacing the fuel filter if it's been 50K miles since it was last replaced. One way is to disconnect the inlet to the fuel filter and attach a hose to the feed pipe from the tank. If the pump still works you can pump out the fuel into a container. Pushing a siphon hose thru the port results in it contacting the front side of the tank wall. The larger diameter filler port connects to a tube with a 45 degree downward bend in the tank. The vent port connects to a tube with a 90 degree downward bend in the tank so a hose will go to the bottom of the tank. If you decide to siphon fuel out of the tank I suggest using the vent port instead of the filler port. If your vehicle does not run, or it is not convenient to wait until the tank is nearly empty by driving, then you will have to find some way to empty the tank.

When my fuel gauge dropped to 1/8 I placed a portable fuel container with 2 gallons of fuel in the vehicle and continued driving until the "CHECK GAGE" illuminated. Reduce the fuel in the tank to nearly empty. I do not recommend this pump for your Explorer nor does Aeromotive.ġ. One reason I selected the pump is it highly compatible with pulse width modulated controllers which I plan to incorporate in the future.

According to the manufacturer it can support up to 700 flywheel horsepower on a forced induction fuel injected engine with high flow fuel filter and AN-06 or equivalent fuel line. It's 340 liter per hour capacity greatly exceeds the needs of my future M90 equipped engine.

Note: The Aeromotive Stealth 340 fuel pump I chose to install is not designed for returnless fuel systems and draws about 16 amps at 65 psi.

I decided to generate this thread describing removal of the fuel tank, removal of the fuel pump assembly, replacement of the pump, hose and "sock", installation of the pump assembly and installation of the tank on a returnless fuel system. I also found threads about removing the fuel tank and a couple threads about replacing the return fuel system pump. In searching the forum I found threads for replacing the fuel pump without removing the fuel tank by cutting a carefully measured access hole in the body panel above the pump. My stock fuel pump was still functional but I needed to install a high flow pump in preparation for adding an M90 supercharger and high flow fuel injectors. The fuel pressure for the returnless system should be 60 to 65 psi for just about any condition when the ignition switch is in Run. In 1999 Ford switched from a return fuel system with a rail mounted fuel pressure regulator (FPR) to a returnless fuel system with a rail mounted fuel pressure damper and a tank installed FPR.
