The lines and injectors are fine. I never used this tank. Apparently someone else never did either. I tried one or 2 times just never would build up the pressure. It is gas that just varnished in the tank from non use. The truck may have sat for a few years and got sold with a full front tank and an empty rear then someone put gas in the working rear that now has a hole in it. and yes I am one broke mo fo but If I can do this my self I'm not going to **** away the money even if I had it. I find myself more proud of my rusted ole truck the more I fix it. I can't wait to get the gas mileage at top peak performance then kill it by adding a front axle uuuu 4wd conversion. That will be real fun.

Which is positive and which is negative wires to the pump?

If you wish to know the truth dhonnoll I may be doing to exact same thing to my front one. I know where you are coming from bro. The more hard work we do ourselves to these trucks the more satisfaction we get out of it.

Broke or not I am actually proud of you for taking this on the way you have man. Not many would do this they would just go to the yard or someplace and replace it. After they are done they say have fixed but all they really did was replace parts. You can say with pride I rebuilt my fuel pump and fixed my truck.

I don't have to buy many parts for my truck anymore. It has an AutoZone lifetime warranty.

If that is anything like the one around here gives you will be replacing the whole truck soon lmao!

Thank you Aurora Zero that means alot it is coming back together i hate to admit it but it now has one GM replacement part. The gromet thst holds the evap valve in thetank is a HELP! GM universal oil filler tube gromet slightly altered fit perfectly even better than the old one which turned to pure goo with that bad gas that was in it for years.

Pump is rebult. Tank was sprayed with ruberized undercoatin where the straps and frame cross member go. Will put it in tomorrow Lord willin' and the creek don't rise.
For those who care to know, when re-assembling the pump, there is a ring arounf the nozzle to the pump. (is part of the assembly and will have to be re-used). It acts as a gude to the pump because it has to be turned acertain way to fit and for wires to fit. First put the pump in the valve. The nozzle goes in the red seal. That same red seal has a small hole opposite the pump nozzle hole, that hole is for the guide ring mentioned earlier. Once that is done put the bottom sump od the pump on. Run the two wires (careful you have very little room oin how you route the wires). And the whole thing just sort of snaps together.

I am just still amazed that with all the crap and sludge in the tank and pump it was Ford tough still enough to put out 30 PSI or almost that much.

Unfortunatly this deidn't seem to work out too well. The problem was with the varnished old gas it ate through a diaphram that is in the bottom of the pump (inside of the hole where the strainer goes). So I am going to have to get a pump assembly. My advice is this is very doable if you want to save the money. But if you have old varnished gasoline in the tank not woth it because of the damages varnished gasoline does to EVERYYHING!!!!

I understand man and I appreciate you trying this approach. I just wish it has worked out better for you in the end.
