Consumer Description

MY FUEL PRESSURE DROPPED BELOW THE REQUIRED PRESSURE. I LIMPED INTO TRUCK STOP AND THEY CHECKED AND STATED FUEL PUMP FAILURE. I LIMPED ON HOME, (25 MILES) AND WENT ON THE INTERNET WITH THE QUESTION?? FUEL PUMP FAILURE ON F53, 1996 FORD MOTOR HOMES. FOUND A LOT OF FOLKS WITH THIS PROBLEM AT LOW MILES. FOUND FORD MOTOR COMPANY TECH. BULLETIN/ARTICLE NO. 97-23-9 THAT EXPLAINS THAT OLDER FUEL PUMPS, (1989-1997) F-53 MOTOR HOMES NEED TO CHANGE FROM OLD STYLE FUEL PUMP TO NEW TURBINE FUEL PUMP, (PART# F6PZ-9H307-DA, $426.66), AND WIRING HARNESS FROM 4 WIRES TO THREE, (PART# F7PZ-9A213-CA, $25.47).
