April 2, 20169 yr I have a 99 Subaru Forester and I've noticed a squealing noise from the tank. I am sure it's the fuel pump, my question is about replacement should I get a Subaru pump or are aftermarket pumps ok. How difficult is taking the tank down? And is there anything I should know before taking on the repair myself?
April 2, 20169 yr shouldn't need to take the tank down. On my Outback, there is access under the rear seat. Look for a youtube video for your car - might find a couple if you're lucky. My impression from lots of reading is, Soob pumps are generally robust and a unit from a wreck should be considered. I think Airtex and Bosch have aftermarket units. Maybe someone else will have some experienced advice.
April 3, 20169 yr No need to drop the tank, its all done from inside the car. Get a used pump or new one, but JUST THE PUMP. No need to replace the entire assembly.
