Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s in-tank fuel pump configuration before ordering. Match the spade terminal style, hose connection outlet, and 1/2 outlet fitting thread size to the original unit. Because mounting hardware, wiring harness, strainer, and lock ring are not included, reuse or source the correct service parts as needed during installation.

For best results, inspect the tank, fuel lines, seal surface, and electrical connectors before replacing the pump. The P90017 is a specific-fit part, so verifying year, make, model, and application notes is important on Ford Mustang, Ford Taurus, and Mercury Sable service jobs.

Quality Assurance

Carter builds this fuel pump around OE fit, form, and function standards with application coverage aimed at direct replacement service. The P90017 is engineered for specific vehicle applications and uses the same type of fuel system architecture found in original in-tank pump setups.
