Phunk, were you able to find anything else?
I'll probably have some time saturday afternoon to work on it. |
nothing really...
JB Weld advertises their SteelStik epoxy product to be fuel safe once fully cured. But some of their plastic-specific products they state do not adhere to polyethylene, which takes them off the table. If their SteelStik will adhere to polyethylene, then it might be an option. But this would have to be investigated. Otherwise you will have to either melt the plastic together, get it plastic (sonic) welded, or physically clamp it back on somehow. |

This is how I clamped it back. The 3 bottom ones are here to hold our back, the vertical one is here to make sure the 3 horizontal ones don't move, and the upper one is here to hold the vertical one in place. Do you think it'll be OK? |
Did you use any type of glue on it too? 3M makes some glues for plastic. I've use some of their 2 part stuff before. But never on anything like you need. Check them out.

Nope, only plastic zip
|
I am not sure if that will hold or not since I cant tell how sturdy it is from here.
You will want to look up what the zip ties are made of because most plastics will melt inside a fuel tank. If they are made of Nylon or PTFE they will work. |

I'll be searching for a replacement or some glue then.
What is the unit made off? polyethylene? |
its most likely made of HDPE which is a type of polyethylene. But I dont have a way to know that for certain. Its just typical for these fuel pump housings. If you use a glue, make sure to research if that glue will withstand fuel submersion.

Take Rangers advice. Id rather take a pine cone in the a$$ than to pull the fuel assembly back out lol.

Finished doing my 2nd install of this. Much much easier on the "hard part" with the use of the following two tools:
Extended reach hose pliers http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/OBJEC...BDGPL411HG.jpg and a wire grabber http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pro...f19655_400.jpg This lets you reach into the tank, pull up each hose, and tug them on to the fittings. When you pull up a hose dry the bit of fuel out of the end, and put a liberal amount of motor oil in it. This helps pull it on to the fitting. |
I can't imagine doing it with the seats still in. They're only 4 bolts. Easy to remove. I don't remove the rear plastics going towards the trunk, but I do pull out the piece in front the goes behind the seats. Disconnect the center piece so you can lift it up, and disconnect the front half of the side plastics where the seatbelts are. You can then pull the center piece down and out without removing anything else.
