Where is the fuel pump for Mercury Topaz 1994?

Answer 1

Changing the water pump in a 1994 Mercurary topz is a PAIN in the butt (and often knuckles and hands). I literally just got done taking mine off, and decided to answer this, because no one else had. You'll need a 10mm socket, a 1-2 inch extension, and the actuall socket wrench. If you have a deep welled 10mm, you could probably use it, instead of an extension. The only way to get the water pump out of the car without removing a ton of other parts is through the bottom. So, loosen up the lugs on your front passenger side tire, jack your car up, and take the tire off. There are 3 bolts that you must remove (all are 10mm). All of them are nearly impossible to see, and extremely difficult to get to. If you have a new (or used) water pump to look at, I would suggest looking at it to determine where the screws are. If not, basically, there is one on the bottom, and 2 on the top, all facing the firewall. Once you have all three screws off, simply wiggle it free of the pipe, and it pops right off, then wiggle it out through the bottom of the car. I would seriously suggest having a friend available to help. I did it by myself, but found myself going from the top of the car, back to the bottom, trying to get the best angles to remove the screws. The screw that is on top, closest to the pulley wheel is the hardest, and I was only able to get at this one from the top of the car.

Answer 2

replacing a fuel pump is not adviseable by the do it yourselfer. the main concern is safety, since you are working around gas(a combustible). the fumes or vapor are very volitable or explosive it would be advisible to have this preformed by professionals.

Answer 3

it is located in the fuel tank, which is located under the car almost in the middel but closer to the drivers side by a little bit. There is a circle looking seal on the top on the gas tank once you drop the gas tank down from the car by removing the straps. You have to over that circle which is difficult because its probably rusted and its attached to that.

Answer 4

In the gas tank.
