Ford Taurus Fuel Pumps

You may be looking to upgrade your fuel economy or enhance your cars performance and miles-per-gallon (MPG). If so, then a fuel pump replacement may be exactly what you need to for your Taurus. Whether you use a genuine Ford Motorcraft part or an aftermarket part, the guide below should help provide the information you need to upgrade this vital part of your fuel system.

Knowing the standard MPG for your vehicle is a great way to determine the gas mileage your vehicle is capable of. This can be helpful information if you are looking to upgrade your Ford Taurus fuel pump. Mileage will vary depending on the year, model, and engine type. This should give you an idea of the mileage you can expect to get from your Taurus:

• Four-cylinder - The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine should give you roughly 20 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway.
• V6 - The 3.5-liter V6 provides 18 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway.

The two basic types are electrical and mechanical. While you will most likely need an electric pump, it is good to know the difference.

• Electrical - This is primarily used with fuel-injected vehicles. An electric pump is mounted inside your gas tank and uses electrical power to move gasoline from your tank to your motor.
• Mechanical - This is mainly used for older vehicles that used a carburetor rather than a fuel injector. Mechanical pumps are mounted on the engine block and powered by a mechanical lobe attached to the camshaft.

Be sure to follow the following steps when replacing your fuel pump:

• Release the pressure from your fuel line - Before doing any work on your fuel system, be sure the release your fuel pressure by removing the appropriate fuse. Once that is removed, attempt to start your engine, as this should bleed the pressure from the system.
• Lift rear of your vehicle and lower fuel tank - Before doing this, its a good idea to make sure your tank is near empty. A full tank is heavy, and having less gas will make this job easier and safer.
• Remove assembly and replace pump - Disconnect the wiring harness, remove the bolts, and carefully lift the housing from the tank.
• Reconnect assembly and re-mount tank - Once the housing is removed, open it up and swap the old pump with the new one. Once that is done, reassemble the housing, re-mount it to the tank, reconnect the wiring, and re-mount your tank.
• Reconnect fuse and restore pressure to your fuel line - Restoring pressure is as simple as turning the ignition switch. You should hear your new fuel pump come to life.
