How to Replace the Pump on a 2000 Dodge Caravan
The type of replacement fuel pump that a 2000 Dodge Caravan needs depends primarily on its engine. This vehicle usually has a six-cylinder, 3.0-liter or 6-cylinder 3.3-liter engine with a two-wheel drive transmission. A 2000 Dodge Caravan uses a high-pressure electric fuel pump that is part of a single module. The fuel pump module on this vehicle also includes other components such as the fuel pump reservoir, fuel gauge sending unit and fuel pressure regulator.

Remove the cap for the fuel filler tube to relieve the pressure in the fuel tank. Remove the cap on the fuel pressure port located on the fuel rail. Place one end of hose C-3799-1 into a gasoline container and connect the other end to the fuel pressure port to relieve the pressure in the fuel system. Remove the hose from the fuel pressure port and replace the cap for the fuel pressure port. Drain the fuel tank.
2Disconnect the cable to the negative terminal on the battery with a socket wrench. Support the fuel tank and loosen the bolts for the fuel tank strap. Disconnect the fuel lines from the fuel tank and unplug the wiring harness for the fuel pump module.
3Lower the fuel tank and turn the locking ring counter-clockwise with a wrench. Remove the locking ring and disconnect the fuel pump from the fuel tank.
4Connect the new fuel pump module to the fuel tank, and replace the locking ring. Tighten the locking ring to 40 foot-lbs. with a torque wrench. Raise the fuel tank back into position. Connect the wiring harness and fuel lines for the fuel pump module. Tighten the bolts on the fuel tank strap to 250 inches-lbs. with a torque wrench.
