[QUOTE="scoob8000, post: 5427712, member: 547804"] I would do it right. A fuel system isn't something that shouldn't be a hack job. And thats exactally what you guys are thinking about doing. Fuel pumps are insanely priced for some vehicles. Check around junkyards for a used pump. Or maybe the pump can be replaced without replacing the entire sending unit. Most new vehicles have hard plastic lines that were never designed to be spliced. Not to mention most modern fuel injection systems can have nearly 40-50 psi in them. Not something I would trust to a hose clamp. On the note of pressure, I'm pretty doubtful a $50ish pump is going to be able to build enough pressure. Most of those inline pumps you see at the parts store are for carb'ed engines.. Lastly, depending on how the old pump failed your new pump may not even be able to **** the fuel thru the old, failed pump. $.02> [/QUOTE]
