disconnect the battery. Remove the pump bolts, and the fuel lines. Carefully lift out the pump, the drive rod, and the spacer. Inspect the spacer and rod for wear. Install the new pump in the reverse order.

How do you remove gas tank 1965 bug convertible?
the fuel tank sits in the front as the engine is in the back. if you open your bonnet there should be the fuel cap where you fuel the bug on a 65, as later years they were moved outside. there are four bolts in the corners of the tank once you have removed all the carpets ontop of it. they are size 13 metric. the fuel line sits underneath the tank so once you lift the tank up, i would sudgest it should be empty, you can remove the fuel line. there is no fuel pump to worry about as it is a machanical fuel pump mounted on the engine

Why would gas be in oil on your 1973 Volkswagen bug?
Needle valve and seat leaking in the carburetor causing fuel to leak into the cylinders when you park the car overnight. Replace the needle valve and seat. Better yet overhaul the carb. Can also be a hole in the fuel pump diaphragm. That would require replacing the fuel pump.
Find and replace Fuel pump on 68 V W Bug?
Lift rear engine cover. Locate the carburetor (sits under black aircleaner) follow the fuel line from the top left side of the carb to the fuel pump. The fuel pump is bolted by 2 13mm bolts to the engine case. There are 2 flavors of mechanical pump, one style fits a beetle with a generator, the other style is for a beetle with an alternator. The pump body is angled differently to clear the alternator body. NOTE: While replacing the pump replace the grommet where the fuel line passes from the tank (in the front of the car) through the engine sheetmetal to the intake of the fuel pump. That grommet is known to fail, engine vibration cuts the fuel line and an engine fire results. Not good. It's bolted to the engine right above the crank pulley. There are two hoses coming out of it--one to the carb, one to the front of the car. A lot of people have put electric fuel pumps on VWs--they're less expensive than mechanical ones and they work well. I don't think they're really all that safe unless you can figure out a way to wire a relay in that cuts off the pump when the engine quits. If your car has one of these, it's probably bolted to the side of the engine compartment. To find it, trace the fuel line coming out of the carb to it.

What do the r mean on a vw bug fuel gauge?
"R" on the fuel gage means "Reserve".
You have a 74 vw bug motor in a trike it runs good for about 30 to 40 min then act's like it ran out of gas but you have plenty of gas what is the trouble?
Your fuel line is getting to hot and the fule is boiling before it get to the carb causing a vapor lock. re-rout the fule line. I agree with above, your carb is vapor locking due to excessive heat. In addition to the above, you can use an electric fuel pump and bypass the mechanical pump. That should help, but you still need to make sure the gase line is routed properly...out of the way of exhaust and intake manifolds. Ride on!
How big is a 1968 vw bug fuel tank?

Another answer A lot of people have put electric fuel pumps on VWs--they're less expensive than mechanical ones and they work well. I don't think they're really all that safe unless you can figure out a way to wire a relay in that cuts off the pump when the engine quits. If your car has one of these, it's probably bolted to the side of the engine compartment. To find it, trace the fuel line coming out of the carb to it. Ignore these answer, they dont give much help I think.... another solution is: to remove: 1. Pull hoses from pump and properly stop up ( insert a bolt or such to stop fuel flow and keep debris out of other) 2. Unscrew bolts at the flange ( what holds it on) 3. lift off pump 4. remove push rod, intermediate flange, and gaskets. fuel pump now out. to adjust pump stroke: ( note ALWAYS install intermediate flange on crankcase BEFORE inserting rod, otherwise rof may slip through flange into crankcase.) 1. Place new gaskets on the crankcase studs for pump and install intermediate flange on top of them. 2. Insert push rod in the flange, tapered end down, to ride on eccentric cam of distrisbutor drive shaft. ( warning+ make sure ignition is OFF) 3. Turn the engine by hand until the push rod rises to its highest point of travel. 4. Measure projection of rod abovew the flange; that is, from tip of rod to upper flange surface measurement should be 0.51 inch 9 (13mm) 5. Turn engine again ( by hand) to bring rod to lowest point of travel. Measure tip of rod to surface of flange. total pump stroke should be about 0.16 inch ( between 4 and 5 mm) 6. Set stroke to correct measurement by removeing a flange gasket or by adding one (or more) To Install: 1. fill lower chamber with universal grease. 2. install pump with inspection cover at left. Attach nuts. (Engine should be warm and not stone cold. use heater if necessary to bring to working temperature) retighten nuts but do not over tighten. 3. reconnect hoses/fuel lines and check seating of rubber gaskets. 4. reconnect battery. (I have a 68 with an alternator mod instead of a generator. this works fine for both.)
