To de-pressurise the fuel system remove the fuel pump fuse which you will find under the bonnet. Then start the car until it stops. Remove keys from ignition and do the neccessary work. There will still be some fuel in the lines just not pressurised. Remember to re-install the fuse afterwards.
cheers.
How long is the average time to replace a fuel pump on a 2001 mazda tribute?

I am thinking to rebuild it by replacing the pump. Specifically, what type of pump exactly such as model number to buy? I do not think a good idea to have the assembly sit in my garage.

Cheers and thx again
Sorry for the late post, but as far as parts for your Tribute, I always get mine from RockAuto onling.
Parts are reasonable and are shipped quite quickly.
I saved over $450 on AC parts alone. Mechanic wanted $595. I paid $175.
Was just looking at fuel pumps there. From $145 and up.
Hopes this helps in the future.
