Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump

The final step for my fuel system upgrade was the Walbro fuel pump. I went with the 255LPH High Pressure model. coalitionSE-L has a great write up you can find here.

I do have a few helpful tips I can add.

I teach a Fire Safety Course at work. When you are working on any part of your fuel system, it’s not a bad idea to have a fire extinguisher handy.

Disconnect your negative battery terminal. You don’t want anything electrical to have power when you are working with the fuel.

Ventilation is very important. I opened everything and used a heavy duty shop fan blowing through the rear doors. That helped quite a bit.



When I got to the sending unit, it was filthy. I was afraid some debris might make it’s way into the fuel tank. Before removing it, I used a shop-vac and some rags to clean it up.





If you have a pre-disposition to f*cking up simple things (like I do), label the send and return lines when you remove them.





Having my camera with me and taking pictures along the way was also helpful. You can always refer back to the pictures of what things looked like before they were disassembled.



I also found it helpful to have a drain pan in the car as a parts tray. You don’t want to drip fuel all over your interior getting this stuff out of the car.
