Just got done installing my walbro 255lpm in-tank and i got problems. No fuel pressure. I know for a fact everything is hooked up right. All there is, is a red and black wire that need to be connected, it's not rocket science. I checked all my fuses, and i am getting power to my inertia switch. I think the pump could be bad, the box ups gave it to me in looked like someone played a game of soccer with it. Any other suggestions before i drop the tank and test the pump on a bench. thanks

Can u hear the pump prime when u turn the key to the on position? If thats not happening i would say either a fuse or the pump itself. Looks like u got the fuses taken care of which leads to the fun job of taking the tank down AGAIN :bang:

I will be joining you tomorrow afternoon when i do my walbro 225lph pump....WISH ME LUCK. Any tips?
 
well, i guess i have to take it out again. I get absoulutely no noise when i turn the key. The job is pretty straight-forward actually. Just lube the crap out of the strap bolt before attemting to remove them. Mine where a pain in the balls to get out. Also, def. use a jack under the tank. I found that it isn't all that necissary to unbolt the filler tube. Once the tank is low enough to unhook all your lines, two fuel lines, the pump plug, and some breather hose, you can just slide your tank out side ways without unbolting the filler hose. Good luck
