The operation of the engine is directly dependent on the statefuel system. It is she who produces the supply and cleaning of the fuel mixture along the mains from the tank. The most important component of this system is a gasoline pump. It can be of different types. What is this element and how is the petrol pump replaced at Ford Focus 2? About all this - later in our article.
This element is designed to supply fuel fromtank in the engine. Previously, for cars with carburetor injection a mechanical pump was installed. Now all the machines put an electrical element.
There are several signs on which you candetermine this failure. So, first of all the character of the car's behavior changes. The machine often jerks at various engine speeds, fixed "floating" speed at idle. The motor is very difficult to start on both cold and hot.
It is worth noting that a certain lifetime ofthere is no such element. Each owner has his own parameter - some have a gasoline pump for the tenth year, others have already broken down into the second. Why such a takeoff? The fact is that the element is very afraid of overheating. The pump is in the tank and is cooled by fuel. Driving on an empty tank greatly overheats it, so do not pull with refueling if the corresponding indicator on the panel is lit. This is the only way to keep the pump in good condition.
In order to replace the petrol pump with the "Ford Focus" of the 2nd generation successfully, we will need:
Since we will work with the tank, it is necessary to put on rubber gloves and to protect the respiratory tract with a respirator.
First you need to find where the burnt ispump. It is located in the fuel tank. Usually, under it is a hole under the rear sofa. So, we remove the second row of seats and find the metal panel hiding the pump. The problem of "tricks" is that they do not have a technological hole for it. And to replace the element, you need to extend it manually. Using a special scissors, carefully cut out a hole 25 cm in diameter and bend the metal aside.
We remove the pipes from the fuel pipes.Note that they will be filled with gasoline, so they can stain everything around. In advance, store a large piece of rags. You can make it easier - start the engine and remove the fuse from the pump. After a few seconds the engine stalls. So we not only free the highway from gasoline, but also level the excess pressure in the system.
Next, dismantle the O-ring, which holds the pump itself. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the necessary screws and remove the element outwards. Externally it will look like the one pictured below.
So, if it turned out to be very dirty during the external examination, it should be replaced. The filter is responsible for rough cleaning and is a dense mesh that is located at the entrance to the pump.
After replacing the coarse filter and thePump tightness check should be checked. The glass itself must stand securely. Then the element is installed in the tank. Connect the previously disconnected pipes to it. And here comes the problem - how to close the lid? The lid was cut out on its own, so you need to figure out how to seal it as tightly as possible. To do this, you can take a plate sized 30x30 cm and drill holes in the corners at the corners.
So, we found out how to make a replacementpetrol pump to "Ford Focus 2". Restyling has not progressed as far as we would like. The same problems with the replacement of the gasoline pump are also observed in the 2008 model year. Yes, you can do without holes, but in this case you have to completely remove the tank. It is simply impossible to do this in a short time and without a viewing pit. And in the STO, the replacement of the motor of the gasoline pump on the "Ford Focus" of the 2nd generation will cost about two thousand rubles without taking into account the cost of the element itself. Therefore, the most reasonable and economical solution will be a replacement with the subsequent installation of a fuel filler hatch.
