Fuel strainer

I have to pull the to of the pump off ,after I pull out the stripped screws is there anything to be careful of.As in parts falling out? I plan on doing it on the car.Thanks

I think you need to drain the gas tank first. When you open the fuel pump to get the strainer out, gas will flow.

Nah, just plug the lines that you remove from the f.p. The lines mount low on the tank and not much fuel comes out.

I've got the vise grips on the line and will pull the top off the pump tonight but is there anything inside the pump to be concerned about(parts falling out) . P.S read all your other F.I. posts and will go after air regulator, bccd and altitude switch next (high idle) just figured on doing strainer while suspension is out.

No parts will fall out of the fuel pump when you remove it. The altitude switch is only in California cars.

Thanks, Mine came from San diego rust and all.

I'm lucky, mine was always an Inland Valley car. March A.F.B., Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Fontana, and now San Bernardino, Ca.

Where do you get the fuel pump strainer? I will switch mine while it's up on the lift. Is there a document describing the process? No help from the FSM.
