I got the common problem with running out of gas on 1/4 tank, meaning the fuel is not getting transferred from the left side to the right. Already changed the fuel filter. Glad I did judging from the stuff that dripped out of it but it hasn't solved the problem. I can hear the pump faintly whining which is making me feel uneasy and as I am planning a longer trip I decided to do something about it. I know the perfect scenario is to get the new sender unit with the pump from the dealer, but as I am not planning to keep the car forever I would like to do it on a budget.
First of all, is there a particular reason not to replace just the fuel pump itself instead of the complete sender unit? If replacing the pump only, is there a particular one I should get (where?), or do I just get a generic cheap one from ebay and hope for the best? Hell, I can even keep the original one in the trunk if the cheapo one decides to give up the ghost, wouldn't mind changing it on the road.
Fire away!
