Fuel Pump - Can you replace it when the tank is full?

Do you guys think it would be a problem if I tried to replace the fuel pump while the car has a full tank of gas?
What kind of problems would arise?
Thanks

 

You can do it. Just prepare to make more of a mess.

 

Gas will be all over your car. I would change it with 1/4 tank or less which is what I did.

 

i did it with a full tank not a big deal

 

I changed it with a full tank of gas. You can do it but the gas level will be right at the top. Keep some rags handy.

 

yeah, just don't smoke while you're doing it... I'd say just drive around for about 20 mins at WOT, and then do it

 

I am about to do mine, either tonight or tommorow. I should have around 1/4 a tank. My car is going to run like crap from what i read.

 

Why is your's going to run like crap?



Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I'll wait and do it after it gets down to about half or so.

 

no no only thing is .. since the gas is all the way up there.. you'll be touching alot of gasoline... and do u honestly want to????

 

like oh my god! I might get gas on my hands!

 

because supposively, with the pump you will run pretty rich because of the higher output of fuel. I have an SAFC, but no way to see my a/f.

 

supposedly* And yes you WILL be running even more rich than the crap factory settings. Unless ur getting ur ecu tuned or your going to retune ur safc then its a stupid move to put in a better fuel pump.

 

i'll let u take a bath in my gas tank, have a ball....

 

I replaced the fuel pump today with a little under 3/4ths of a tank.
It looked like it was filled to the top. Definitely would'nt recommend anyone else trying it with more than that. The install was pretty simple. Thanks to http://www.evomoto.com's how-to.

 

its like trying to clean the toilet with **** floating in it... flush first then clean hehe
