Installation Notes and Tips

Verify tank access, connector style, and hose routing before installation. This assembly is for in-tank placement and uses a hose connection outlet, so matching the vehicle’s original fuel system layout is important. Review the fitment notes carefully for model-specific details such as tank seal reuse, chassis breakpoints, or production-date limits on applications like the Mazda B2200, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and Toyota Land Cruiser.

For best results, inspect the fuel tank, lines, and electrical connector condition during replacement. Confirm the vehicle uses a gasoline, 12V in-tank pump configuration before ordering Carter P72165.
