Intank Walbro 255 install write up
heres a quick right up
first get the sending unit out of the tank by removing the lock ring with flat head screwdriver and disconect fuel lines and plugs
then i removed the float, so i didnt mess it up, its just snaped in plastic clips
then i disconected the plug on the underside of the sending unit and uncliped the wires from the the gas gauge float thing
then i sepereated the bucket from the rest of the unit by the clips on each side, then disconect the pump harness and gas line on top. remove the sock filter and pull the pump out of the bucket and you will see a lip on the inside were the pump sat that has to be ground down for the walbro to sit down in for the sock filter to snap on
before
during
after
now the pump sits all the way in and the filter will fit on
to hold the pump in i drilled 2 holes and ran a zip tie around the pump
then i took the harness that came with the pump and the factory harness and cut and spliced them and heat shrinked them
then put the stock hose on the end of the pump and pluged the harness back in and set it down in the bucket
then put it back down in the tank and turned the key...herd it prime up and fired it up
only thing i would say change is the stock line from the pump to the top of the sending unit, i belive mine has swollen and began to leak.

I went with a High Flow Fuel. HFP-343. It's a 255 that's supposedly flows better than Walbro. It has a lifetime warranty and E-85 compatable. I installed it the same way and with zip ties. No problems. I did, however, change the line from the stock fuel line to a submergeable EFI. It cost like 20 or 30bucks from your local parts store.
