no fuel pump noise 98 Tracker

[98TrackerMan]

To save the parts for re use I think you would need to at least partially drop the tank to remove the fuel pump. Remove all fuel and then use torch
to expand the fitting. You can try, but old tubes can crack when you try to re flare them so have another plan ready after the original is destroyed.
Another way is to destroy the female pump fitting and braze a new piece of tubing on to the pump outlet tube. bend and flare to O.E. shape with new female fitting. Another way is to get a new fuel pump and fabricate a fuel supply around an available fuel supply flex tube (one that was made for a different application).

Hi All, 11-1-2017 update ...finally
So I wound up switching in new pump on original hanger and left original old fuel line from pump to filter intact. Here's something? When I did continuity test after switching out old pump-still nothing. nothing getting to the pump. Thinking-I dremeled/ drilled out carefully the outside top nodule of hanger "plus side" til I cleared out to the connector going directly into hanger. The negative side was OK--The Plus side metal connector had a hair line crack in it. Used my Dollar Store 350 magnifying glasses to see it. When I moved the wire-continuity was good and going to inside at hanger pump connections. Got the old soldering gun out and soldered the separated connector together. covered it up with some epoxy putty let it cure good and reinforced the wires from vibrations. Continuity all the way to the pump now. Installed pump in tank- with new filter, & fresh gas. Connected the Battery. Heard that little buzz and She stared right up. No Leaks!( tested old pump in some non flammable thinner & it was still good, just that sealed up connector in nodule was bad .now its a spare pump) New is New and time anyway for replacement. 98K- Gave myself an "AttaBoy" for a good job on the first try. Guess I'll keep Tracker a little longer. Back on the Road again til next time.
Thanks again All.-- 98TrackerMan-
