Newbie Question #32 Where is the Electric Fuel Pump
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Ok, I believe I need a new fuel pump. Per repair manual, I have pulled out the spare tire on my 73 S3 2+2. It looks like the fuel pump is located underneath the car as the lines go into the body forward of the spare wheel. Can anyone shed some light on where it is located. I don't have the car up on jack stands yet (wish I had a lift). Thanks, Jim

Its tucked up inside the R/H rear quarter panel at the rear of the rear inner wheel arch. The pump is accessed from inside the car. The frame holding the pump is secured to the rear surface of the rear inner wheel arch, the securing bolts for which are accessed from out side the car at the rear of the R/H rear wheel arch.

Brent - do you know how to acess from inside the car? I dont see an access panel with the spare tire out. I also looked under the rear parcel shelf in front of the wheel well and saw factory foam glued to the body. I just don't see an access point to the pump. Is it under the parcel shelf and the glued foam? Thanks so much. Any help is grealty appreciated. I am still learning the cars.

Sounds like you need to try finding a workshop manual, and hopefully too, a parts manual. There should be something on the internet. If you look at the parts drawings on the SNG Barratt website, you'll what the parts manual has in it.
When I did a partial rebuild of an '80 XJ6, I had both, and could not possibly have done the job without them. Even if you get a shop to do work, at least you can find out what is involved in the work.
