1989 Nissan D21 extended cab 4x4
I recently got a 1989 Nissan D@ 4x4 extended cab pick up with a 3.0 engine. I got it for free, it was running well at the time. W had to do some welding on the bed frame and so on, besides the point. While working on it I found the fuel tank had several holes and cracks I replaced the tank. After putting it all back together it will not start, seems like there is no fuel getting to the carb. My questions are. How do I prime the fuel pump, is it a better idea to just replace the whole fuel pump and sending unit and if replacing is the case, where can I find one.
If the fuel pump is in the tank I would have replaced it when , you had the tank out if it is it needs a good ground & power , pour some fuel in the carb and see if it fires up ,check for fuel pressure .
Yes it does start when I put fuel in the carb but then stalls. Guess my original thought was correct, replace the pump/sending unit. To be honest I guessed I would have to when I first took the pump assembly out of the tank. It is the original unit and the Truck has 310K miles on it. Thanks for your answer.
Looks like it's in good shape ,
Thanks, I had to take the bed off and make welding repairs on the bed frame. I reinforced the frame with 1/8 in thick by 3 inch mild steel Strips, I reinforced the cross members with channel iron. I also replaced the rocker panels and cut out the rust and welded in new 18 gage sheet metal. I added several photos of before and after
sorry, guess you can only post one at a time.
