Really easy to do. Depressurize the fuel system, remove fuel pump fuse, pop the rear fill door off (4 torx boltsa), remove 3 hoses, remove 12 10mm bolts, pull up assembly, pop out pump, pop in new pump, reverse.
New pumps are about $75 from autozone.

I was looking at the fuse block. Says in the Hayes manual that it's a 5 amp fues located about 3 rows down from the top and about 2 spaces to the right. It's not there. The only 5 amp I see is "inj".
Any idea which fuse handles the fuel pump? :confused:

I just changed mine a couple of weeks ago. I now have yet another reason to love C4's. I've never changed a fuel pump before, but this was pretty easy. I didn't pull a fuse, I unplugged the fuel pump relay on the firewall. I replaced the relay also while I was at it.

Re: fuel pump took a dump (STREETKNIGHT)
Well...got it out and disconnected. Pretty simple as stated. Thanks. Unfortunately, the parts house sold me a Borg Warner fuel sock instead of a Delco. Darned thing won't fit.
Hopefully I'll get the correct part tomorrow and have this thing buttoned up by tomorrow night. Putting on a new filter while I'm at it.
Hope this is the problem, but regardless, it needed it!
Gotta be ready for Sanibel on Saturday! :D
Thanks for the info.

knowing that a 91 is still a C4, but, does the fuel pump get changed out the same way? I think my friends took a dump too. The shop book said to drop the tank. :eek:
