How to Replace A Fuel Pump On An 80 Series Land Cruiser | FZJ80 Turbo Prep

[@Solvefunction]

Good luck on finding the gremlin!

i had to resort to ordering a pump from amazon due to supply chain issues as it was during the pandemic (2021) i love how the pump is easy to get to in the 80series.

There should be an access panel for the carpet at least 😂

Thanks for the video! Mine is showing always empty but the light seems to come on when I’d expect to be low on fuel…now you have me wondering if it’s the wiring somewhere? I was thinking it might be the sending unit.

[@Onward_Forward]

the sending unit and cage for the sending unit is it rusty? or dirty? you may need to replace it

[@motor.mausGarage]

Yeah my bet is in sending unit, but hopefully you don't end up like me 😂

I think there is a fuse for the light or you switched the wires from empty to full I can't recall if is the green or the brown.

[@motor.mausGarage]

Hmmm I didn't see a fuse on the diagram for that light, but might be worth a second look. As far as switching wires, perhaps, I just ended up putting them back the way they were, which could've been swapped at some point in it's life. 🤔

@motor.mausGarage I have an xtra one assembled. I will take a look at it to let you know about the wires. I changed mine because the gas was showing at full all the time(but was empty) and noticed that the little sensor attached to the floater was stripped and pretty much open. Got a new one. Also noticed that if the floaters touch the metal part, it does not move up or down. And if stays down, the light will stay on.

I know you mentioned but try pulling and replacing the bulb with stock. Might be simply LED which is a known issue.

[@motor.mausGarage]

Yeah I'll eventually to check it just in case, who knows what has been done to cause this 😂

[@treyfh316]

May be a silly question, but is there a concern with running electrical wires through gas/gas tank??

[@motor.mausGarage]

A few that should be considered: Make sure you're using an appropriate connection, no twisting wires together and calling it good. Crimp, solder, or connector. Don't need any sparks lol. Make sure you route the wires around from any sharp edges to avoid shorts. And make sure you're using connectors and crimps that can hold up to gasoline, most off the shelf ones do. If you're doing a custom setup, make sure any holes you drill get sealed. Bulkhead connectors, fuel appropriate RTV, rubber gaskets, etc.

[@treyfh316]

@@motor.mausGarage thank you! Is there a full kit with the floater and pump already connected. I think my fuel pump is out and my fuel gauge is not working. 😕

[@motor.mausGarage]

I don't think so, I bought the level sensor and pump separately, not sure if Toyota sells them as a full assembly.

[@ealva1764]

Any difference in idle or throttle response with the greater fuel flow?

[@motor.mausGarage]

Nah, feels the same. I might hard wire it eventually because I think there's some kind of resistor that I would like to delete.

Replacement of the fuel filter will help a little bit. My 180k original was filled with dirt. Oem parts period.
