rkmastiff Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I am new here. Have been reading and watching the board for a while. Tried to sale my brat a while back and deal fell thru. Anyway mine is not getting any gas to carb. Where is the fuel pump. Something sounds as if it is running somewhere around the carb, when i turn the switch on, but i can't seem to find it?? Has been running perfect up to this point. This is my third subaru i have owned. May sale this one when i get it running. Thanks for any help..

GeneralDisorder Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Fuel pump is located near the gas tank, under the car. It only runs when the engine is running, or cranking...... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Welcome to the board! Try looking under the rear passenger side for a series of fuel lines going from the tank area to a metal plate. That plate should have your fuel pump and a rear filter on top of it. Glenn, 82 Hatch, well it used to be 01 Forester, bent but not broken........

junkyardgabe Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 not to be rude but the fuel pump is on the drivers side under the brat where the floor goes up to the bed . have someone turn over the brat while you have your hand on the pump you should feel it vibrating only while turning it over:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 It matters little exactly where it is - it's under the car - you'll find it - just trace the fuel supply lines frorm the tank..... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldoat Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 It would be GREATLY appreciated if personal disputes/conflicts were kept private and not aired as replies to a request for help. On my 86 Brat, the fuel pump is located in the rear next to the fuel tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauregaardhooligan Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 rkmastiff, 1st thing, change your fuel filters. Check for fuel pressure by cranking while one line is disconnected. Be careful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 your the one if i remember correctly was the one crying because he couldn't be a moderator huh sonny I have NO idea where that came from - and if you would like to ask around, I have made it VERY clear to several people (including mods) that I don't wish to EVER be a mod. sheesh.... You do NOT remember correctly - in fact - your wrong on pretty near everything in this thread.... Oh - and for the sake of not hijacking this thread further - I quit this silly conversation.

MilesFox Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Mouth-Off the fuel pump will be located just behind the passenger side rear wheel. there will be a filter at the pump, as well as one under the hood. you can hardwire the fuel pump to a switch on the dash, if you prefer the wiring can be run in thru a grommet behind the drivers seat. all of the fuel lines run ino the body thru this grommet.

Skip Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 The fuel pump on my 1985 Brat is located on the driver's side under the bed just behind the cab. They are controlled by a Fuel Pump Control Unit and only pump while cranking to start and when the engine is running. (If the engine fails to fire, the pump will operate for approx 2 seconds after releasing the key) Here is a picture that was shot holding the camera at the driver's side rear wheel, shooting forward at a slight upward angle.
