How to Replace the Electric Fuel Pump in a 1989 Mazda B2200

The Mazda B-Series is a line of pickup trucks manufactured by Mazda Motor Corporation from 1961 to 2006. The number in the series indicates the engine displacement, so the Mazda B2200 has a 2.2-liter engine. This vehicle has a low-pressure fuel system, with a fuel pressure in the range of 2.8 to 3.6 pounds per square inch. The replacement of the fuel pump in the 1989 Mazda B2200 requires you to remove the fuel tank.

Instructions

    1

    Start the engine, and disconnect the electrical connect for the fuel pump. Wait for the engine to stall, and turn the ignition switch off.

    2

    Disconnect the cable on the batterys negative terminal with a socket wrench to prevent sparking. Loosen the filler cap for the fuel tank. Raise the vehicle with jack, and it on jack stands. Place a gasoline container under the drain plug with a socket wrench, and remove the drain plug. Drain the fuel tank into the gasoline container.

    3

    Disconnect all hoses from the fuel tank, and support the fuel tank with a jack. Remove the mounting nuts for the fuel tank with a socket wrench. Lower the fuel tank from the vehicle.

    4

    Clean the area around the fuel pump to prevent debris from entering the fuel tank while you replace the fuel pump. Remove the mounting screws for the fuel pump with a socket wrench, and detach the fuel pump from the fuel tank. Discard the old gasket on the fuel tank.

    5

    Place a new gasket into position on the fuel tank. Install the new fuel pump by performing steps 2 through 4 in reverse order. Fill the fuel tank with fuel, start the engine and check for leaks in the fuel system.
