Fuel Pump Assembly Broke

phunk · 12-25-2018, 06:07 PM

It won’t change anything. When slosh starvation occurs it’s because the fuel has sloshed to the left side of the tank. The hydramat will still be in the wrong place in relation to the fuel it’s seeking. It will attach to the pump though, as long as you cut openings in the canister to allow it to fit. But unfortunately it’s not going to to be worth any time or money. To fix the right turn slosh starvation you need to either contain the fuel from sloshing, increase your ability to recover fuel when it does slosh, or get a pickup in the area where it’s sloshing to. A hydramat in the stock fuel pump location won’t be able to address any of this.

Well, I’ve screwed the pooch. I was reassembling my fuel pump assembly & I managed to drop it. One of the locking tabs on the pump housing / filter assembly (that retains it in the outer canister) broke off. Other than just searching on-line, does anyone have one laying around or have any suggestions as to where I can purchase a replacement pump housing / filter assembly?

you could find 370z fuel pump on eBay, some of the sellers could give you a life time warranty with an extra money you would pay, I guess I might buy one of these as my fuel pump is giving me an incorrect reading.

Buy new OEM only from Ebay or elsewhere. Used part Ebay sellers will just change their username and leave you hanging on the warranty. The dealers that give discounts to forum members aren't always the least expensive source.

Just had my fuel pump go out on my 2010.

Fortunately, I found this OEM Aisan @ Parts Geek
https://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/20...fuel_pump.html

$173 for 2010-2015, $207 for 2016+ (from what I could tell)

My local mech. couldn't get one from his dealers for less than $550!

He was blown away, says it's the exact same as the oem from Nissan.

While I didn't do the job myself, I understand this can be done fairly easily if you have the work space and proper tools. (there's even Youtube vids)

I may give a try considering the hydramat pickup is much larger than OE and it retains fuel within, whereas the OE does not. Maybe in the street environment it will give enough time for the fuel to slosh back.

Interested to see how it works for you, though it might be hard to quantify the results.

I think the easiest fix for a street car is just to fill up early and often, but who has the discipline for that?
