2003 Tribute Fuel Pump Issue?
#11
Hi, I could be a bit late replying to this thread.
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.

Thanks for replies from many of you. To give you an update, the car is up running, after replacing a fuel pump purchased from O'reily Autoparts (I could have saved some bucks by buying it online but thought to save time). I was unable to open up the gas tank cap but did it after removing it from car (gaining more access space). After examining the used pump, I found the pump itself dead. Good news!
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

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.
