Knucklehead97 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I hate that I've been opening so many topics lately. But I can not figure this out and need to know ASAP. I bought a Bosch 69302 fuel pump for my new sending unit. This is the Bosch pump part number that every parts website says fits my truck. But it came in and its a lot smaller than the original pump. It has these rubber bushings which I think make the pump work, though. But I cannot figure out how they're supposed to go on. Has anyone ever done this before? I need to know ASAP so that I can send it back if I have to. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big66440 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I have done it before, the thick rubber Washer with the 8 smaller holes goes on the "white plastic end" of the fuel pump. The other black rubber washer goes on the "black end" of the fuel pump, the white plastic " C " is just a spacer to compensate for the shorter length of the fuel pump in order to mount it correctly to the sending unit assembly that goes in the tank, I remember I had to trial and error mine a bit and had to actually trim it just a little for clearance, the thin big round rubber washer is for the lock ring for the sending unit and the piece of hose and clamps are pretty obvious, I don't remember if I needed the longer connector and extra plastic clip but a little creativity is required to make it work :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Does this look correct to you? Its about all I could manage to make work and tighten down well. Just worried about the fuel sock being a couple inches higher than normal. Definitely will have to trim the elbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 No . The fuel pump and strainer should go more towards the bottom of the tank. The strainer should be on the other side of the lower ring . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thats what I figured. Time to try again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 This looks much better, to me. Just gotta trim the top bracket a little bit more so it comes into contact with the rubber piece at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJVA Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Still pounding on that darn lock ring. My knuckle can't take any more. That's a strainer from Advance, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
