Interesting, which model would that be?

Interesting since you do a lot more than just remove the old and put in the new. How do you for instance get to the result that the crossover point should be at least 12db, is it experience or do you measure it in some way? |

It's what I had to do to my PT today.
While driving on LPGA Blvd yesterday morning, suddenly SOOO BIG's engine stopped running. Fortunately I'd just slowed to cross rail road tracks so I was able to safely coast off the road in front of Holly Hills scrap yard. This wasn't tp be a portent of SOOO BIG's future. I called USAA road side assistance for flat bed transport to get to my trusted mechanic, Anwar. Later that day he called with the diagnosis. Fuel pump failed. There goes my stimulus payment I've been holding in reserve. Who knew it'd be for a new fuel pump? The original Chrysler pump is exorbitantly expensive. Add to that at least two hours labor including the full fuel tank has to be drained before it can be dropped to install the new pump. Off course I'd just done a fill up. Big bucks fix. Why doesn't Chrysler have a fuel pump access hole in the floor under the back seat? Seems like a great idea. For those of you who haven't experienced the high labor cost of replacing the PT Cruiser fuel pump assembly, cut yourself a fuel pump access hole. Make it your next to-do, must-do project. Post your results. This one was cut 9" square Position the hole using the small centered indented hole for location reference. Don't know what that hole's for. It's just there. As your cutter might come in contact with the top of the pump assembly you'll have to temporarily drop the tank an inch or so for clearance. In retrospect, when cutting this access hole, remembering the problems airplanes often had with metal fatigue around rectangular and square windows, I'd make the hole oval or round. Make a cover plate for the new 9" fuel pump assembly access hole with a surround of sealant to prevent leakage. No biggy. downloa.jpg IMG-20201208-074128.jpgpump access.jpg

I just sent this fuel pump assembly access hole cut to both my sons and brother. They all still drive PTs. In retrospect, remembering the metal fatigue problems air planes had with square and rectangular windows, I'd cut the hole oval or round. It was an unexpected repair on SOOO BIG as he's a low mileage PT with only 95684 miles. It's not a roundtoit project though. It should be a top of your list to-do, must do project.

Thanks for the info and pics.
Probably should have done this last summer when the tank was dropped to replace the canister and "leak detect pump". It was a PITA. If the corners of the square are cut slightly rounded it will relieve formation of a stress cracks. Wise move using OEM pump. |

SOOO BIG's fuel pump replaced.
$319.00, fuel pump assembly $26.85, replace relay. $297.50 for labor. Lower than expected.
