Detailed Description

The Airtex E2285M fuel pump module assembly is engineered to meet or exceed OEM fit and reliability expectations for the listed Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable applications. Airtex builds its fuel system components with attention to fit, form, and function, and this module includes the fuel sending unit, strainer, gasket, and wiring harness to support a complete in-tank fuel delivery repair. It is a direct-fit replacement for vehicles using the extended range fuel tank configuration, making it a practical choice for restoring consistent fuel supply and accurate fuel level reporting. This part cross-references Bosch 67166 and Carter P74991M for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard starting caused by weak or failing fuel pump output
• Engine hesitation or stalling from inconsistent fuel delivery
• Inaccurate fuel gauge readings from a worn sending unit
• Fuel starvation issues in extended range fuel tank applications
• Noise or performance loss from an aging in-tank pump module

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses the extended range fuel tank before ordering. Replace the tank seal during service and confirm the round connector, pin terminals, and quick-connect outlet match the original setup. Because mounting hardware and lock ring are not included, reuse or source the required service parts as needed. Clean the tank area before installation and inspect the fuel lines and electrical connector for wear.

Quality Assurance

Airtex fuel pump modules are built to meet or exceed OEM fit and reliability standards. The fuel sensor design is intended to resist corrosive fuel blends and additives, and the included strainer helps support clean fuel delivery in normal service conditions.
