have you guys ever pulled your fuel pump out, did whatever, and went to put it back in only for it to be crooked and not line up???
is it from there being air in the tank and not bleeding out or what?!?! ****'s like two magnets pushing eachother away everytime..

of the 50 times i've put a fuel pump in an FC this happens like clock work each and everytime!

i dont really care as it always goes in, and correctly. just seeing if im the only one noticing this..

Really? Do you walk into doors as well and wonder why you can't get where you're going?

if you let gas hit the rubber oring it expands and makes it impossible to get the pump/plate back on....

You should also wash you hands BEFORE touching your ***** -not AFTER... that way you don't have a dirty dick all the time.

i did have to cut the floor pan out to get at the pump assembly....

i found out why though, if you twist it to the right it does hang up on something inside the baffle.
i always just try to be really careful with it, so when it was binding just got all ***** status.

fuel cell time. i wish i had photos of how justin had his setup in the blue ocean car version.

i know it has to be firewalled, and when i cut everything out making it firewalled will suck.
