Thanks for your input Srmmm, and mferek. Upallight thanks for the insight. I knew there were two sides to the tank but just assumed that the bottom of tank is flat and any fuel in the tank would get to the fuel pump. I had no idea that there was a transfer pump.
Upallnight, I am big on preventive maintenance. With 150K miles I suspect that if I were replacing this transfer pump wouldn't it make sense to replace the fuel pump as well. Are there two sending units that tells the gauge how much fuel is in the tank? Does the fact that the low fuel light did not come on give any credence that the transfer pump is history? Do you have part #s and is this a job for a moderate do it yourselfer?
