SO TODAY I DECIDED TO CHECK THE PUMP AND TO SEE IF IT WAS CLOGGED. WHEN I WAS TAKING OUT THE PUMP GENTLY, THE BOTTOM PART FELL OFF AND SO DID THE SPINNING UNIT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PUMP. IT FELL DIRECTLT INTO THE TANK. HELP ME ASAP. ANYTHING WILL HELP. THANK YOU

Doesnt sound good, but I dont think theres a serious threat having the pieces in the tank. Of coarse its not a good thing either though. Im guessing this is the pump under the seat? When I was having fuel problems I replaced the main pump under the car behind the drivers seat and it solved everything.
Is it possible to fish the pieces out? Either way you probably need a new pump that broke.

yes it is the pump under the seat. i was just checking to see if it was clogged. i bought a new pump off of ebay and it will be in shortly. i can prob fish them out using a long pair of needle nose pliers or is there a bigger hole in the tank where i can prob reach in and grab them? ill most likely replace the one behind the drivers seat too.

if you wanna fish them out just get one of those magnet things, not sure what they are called but its just a long rod with a very strong magnet on the end, very very very handy tool when things go pear shaped! saved me quite a few times when ive dropped things down places that i cant reach

i would excpet the pieces are plastic. but thanks for the info.

i finally got the pieces out. my new fuel pump is on its way. the old pump was clogged on the small tube that ran into the tank. i hope that was my overall fuel problem.
