Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and in-tank configuration before ordering. Some listed applications require tag-code matching, including CRC-marked units on certain Buick and Oldsmobile models, so compare the original pump, connector style, and outlet layout before installation. The gasket or seal is included, but mounting hardware, seal and lock ring, strainer, regulator, fuel sending unit, and wiring harness details should be confirmed against the vehicle’s original setup.

Because this is a specific-fit in-tank fuel pump, proper tank access, electrical polarity, and connector matching are important for a correct installation. Use the vehicle service procedure for fuel system depressurization and tank removal before replacing the pump.
