camjeep3 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Hey guys. I purchased the Bosch fuel pump for my truck after I realized my pump was dead. Once I pulled the sending unit I realized how bad the tank and sending unit were. So I went ahead and ordered the new mts sending unit without a pump... What I can't figure out is how you put the 2 together! I'm assuming something like the picture and some hose clamps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_SX4 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Jeep did not start using the newer turbine style pumps (like the one you have) until 94. The MTS unit is designed to use the older rotary vane style pump like these trucks had from the factory. I know there are several who have upgraded to the newer pumps. It will take some custom engineering on your part to secure it to the sending unit in the proper location. You will either need to make new brackets and solder them on to the return line or maybe use some hose clamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camjeep3 Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Hmmm. Do you have a part number for the pump that should drop in? I thought I bought the correct one for the truck Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_SX4 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 What is the part number for the pump you have? That Bosch pump will last longer and be quieter than any pump designed for that hanger. MTS does sell pumps for that hanger. (#EFPK-3204 from MTS). I have not had any issues going on a 1.5 years with their pump. If you check on rockauto they have several brands but they may not last for long. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/jeep,1988,comanche,4.0l+242cid+l6,1181584,fuel+&+air,fuel+pump,6256 If you decide to keep that bosch pump you will also need to find a connector for it. It is not the same as what is on the sending unit. Sometimes a replacement comes with the new pump sometimes not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I’d suggest using that Bosch pump. Better performance and longevity. If you purchase the right part number (which seems to have been discontinued) it should have come with the adapters to fit in place of the old rotary vane pump.

camjeep3 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I got the last one (according to rock auto) Bosch 69302. Not pictured is the cable that should adapt the wiring. So I'm better off running a hose clamp to this pump then buying one that will drop in my sending unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the turbine style pump is superior to the old rotary vane style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camjeep3 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Thanks everyone for the help. One last question. Does anyone have the pn for the strainer for this style pump? The guys at 2 parts stores were less than helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys at 2 parts stores were less than helpful You don’t have to run an oem strainer with that pump. Just use whatever will fit the pump and has an offset mount. I just opened up a few boxes and found one that worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gjeep Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I just installed one on my '91 -- was fun to figure out. Look at my page 3 build and pm me if you have additional questions on assembly -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
