How do I know if my Ford Ranger fuel pump is bad?
Hearing the Fuel Pump
Have a partner sit in the driver's seat. Take the gas cap off and have your partner turn the ignition key to "start." Ensure the gas door is open; when the key is turned, you will hear the fuel pump. If you do not hear the pump, then you will know the pump is gone bad.
Can I replace my fuel pump myself?
Should you do the job yourself? Installing a fuel pump can be difficult – especially if you've got a full gas tank. Plus, because fuel is flammable, the task can be dangerous. ... If you decide to replace the fuel pump yourself, make sure to take the necessary precautions and have a fire extinguisher on hand.
Do you have to remove the fuel tank to replace the fuel pump?
In most, you must drop the fuel tank, and first drain most gas if needed. Some vehicles have an access panel in the body to get to the top of the tank to remove the assembly without dropping the tank. In many, the assembly is secured with a large steel collar, and that might require a special tool to unscrew.
