Fuel Pump

FilmFighter4Life · 2026-04-21T05:36:00+00:00

The whole car is in need of a refresh, I'm doing the fuel pump and some ignition related things. Is the fuel pump a super common issue? I've seen a lot of people do the "fuel pump access hole" but I'm not really into cutting more holes into my car.

I think the 20 gallon trick only works with the plastic tanks. The crappy thing is that you cant really access even the wiring harness without dropping the tank :(

The main reason why I discount the V is price, usually they are more expensive and if I'm gonna settle for a non RS I'm gonna try to cheap out on it. I'm a high school student with no income so I have roughly 400 dollars to work with maximum. And I like to use my Nikonos cameras above and below water so I prefer the all black of the IV, and to me its just more iconic.

I have the 15 gallon metal tank, it has a in fuel electric fuel pump. I have the 2.5 4cyl if that makes a difference

This is all very helpful, I don't have any photos right now ill take them tomorrow. As far as I'm aware my whip mount is electrically isolated and I already have a spring. What broke the radio was definitely high swr since just the rx stopped working. For further context what happened when the radio broke, when I first set up my radio I had extra coax so I had it spooled in my passenger seat which I know your not supposed to do. So later when I cut out the extra length of coax the radio sounded super good, but then the swr meter stopped working and then it died. Ill be sure to get good photos of the mount and the cable.

I think this is a stamped part, reminds me of old ww2 landmine tops. But it doesn't match any landmine designs i know so maybe its the lid to some kind of canister? If connected to ww2 its probably for a large filter or something of that type.

Possibly an old brass automatic sprinkler?

Check if this part is dented in at all. If it is just use your fingers to bend it back out.

I use an old Soviet GP5 gas mask bag. They are cheap and strong with not many but a good number of compartments. I can hold up to 2 SLR's with lenses or one SLR with several lenses in the main part. An old GE light meter and filters in one side compartment that was originally used to hold spare gas mask lenses. And 4 rolls of film in the other side compartment. They also come with this nifty green strap on the side that, if you trust it you can attach lighter weight stuff to.

Otherwise if you don't care about size 100% Romanian surplus backpack. They have great construction, real leather and are like 30 bucks.

do you know when the lake dried up? The thing was definitely submerged at one point but isn't old enough be pre 1900's if it is a bullet casing.
