Detailed Description

Carter P76126M is built as a regular-grade fuel pump module assembly for OE-style fit, form, and function. It is configured with one inlet and one outlet, a 3/8 inlet fitting thread size, a 5/16 outlet fitting thread size, and a quick connect outlet for straightforward fuel line attachment. The module does not include a regulator, fuel filter, lock ring, mounting hardware, or fuel tank pressure sensor, so it is important to verify the existing tank components before installation. This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps E2334M and Delphi FG0867 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Hard starting caused by weak or failing in-tank fuel delivery
• Fuel gauge inaccuracies from a worn sending unit
• Low fuel pressure complaints in 2002-2003 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer models
• Fuel starvation from a clogged or damaged pump strainer
• Electrical connection issues at the pump module with the correct 7 pin connector setup
