Detailed Description

Sparta PN4029 is a fuel pump hanger assembly engineered for Ford Ranger fuel system service on 1986, 1987, and 1988 trucks. It is built for gasoline applications and uses an in-tank electric pump design with a turbine-style pump element, 4-pin connector, female connector housing, and male terminals. The assembly also includes the fuel sending unit, which helps restore fuel level reporting at the tank. This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps (e.g., E2094S, E2486) for the same application.

As a standard replacement component distributed by Delphi, Sparta is positioned for higher-mileage and earlier model vehicles where correct fit and OE-style performance matter. The PN4029 fuel pump hanger assembly is a direct service option for Ranger owners needing a complete replacement assembly rather than individual pump components.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard starting caused by a weak or failing in-tank fuel pump
• Fuel starvation under load from reduced pump output
• Inaccurate fuel gauge readings from a worn sending unit
• Fuel delivery issues related to a damaged hanger assembly
• Leaks at the tank opening from a deteriorated seal or lock ring interface

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1986-1988 Ford Ranger, N/A. Confirm tank configuration, connector style, outlet routing, and electrical terminal layout before installation. Replace the seal and lock ring during service, and verify the strainer is seated correctly inside the tank. Because this assembly is specific fit, compare the original hanger and sender resistance values before final installation.

Quality Assurance

Sparta is distributed by Delphi, an OE full-line fuel supplier, and is aimed at earlier model and higher-mileage vehicle applications. PN4029 is built as a standard replacement fuel pump hanger assembly for gasoline use and is specified with OE-style fit and component coverage for the listed Ranger applications.
