Fuel pump assembly bracket
 

One of the hard lines coming out of my tank sprung a leak. Seems that the only option for replacement is direct from Toyota - $417.xx plus the gasket and screws. The pump is another $330. Anyone know of another source or option? I know I probably should replace the pump while I have everything out, but kinda tight on cash right now and removing the tank wasn't all that hard. Is there anything else I should considering before I put it all back together?

Thanks.

EDIT: Found some OEM stuff on ebay for less than half the price. It would take too long to get to Canada though :(

You don`t say even what year and engine it is for.

Prices in Canada must be much higher

I have not bought a fuel pump bracket in a few years but thre last one was around a $120.00 that was fora 87 4 Runner.

I am not sure if I have seen them after market or not.

I'm watching this thread now, too....odd coincidence, I just took my bed off and my lines are very corroded at the bracket, to the point of giving out this winter I bet. It's a plow truck only, no on-road...anyone have any alternatives to doing the bracket over?? It sounds idiotic but, will the pump run if it was just plumbed with fuel line, bypassing the metal lines?? That seems to be what happens inside the hanger - soft line to hard, thru tank, then to the soft line again....it only has to work, and <10mph!

Ebay has them for about $200 US, Brendan...that's a bit more than I'd like to spend on my yard beast, though!! Sorry, but most ppl seem to suck it up and buy it, if it's an on-road vehicle. Better safe than sorry, and a workaround likely wouldn't pass inspection!

Duh, sorry. 1992 22re 4x4.

If I were to order online, the total cost even with the crappy exchange rate would be about $320cdn - and that is from a Toyota dealer selling online from the US. Locally, I'm right around $500. The bracket looks to me like it's worth $50. The dealer did mention though that I shouldn't need to replace the pump as they hardly ever sell them. Is that because they rarely die or people buy aftermarket?

They last a LONG time, man. Like I said - Ebay, $200. Just saw one yesterday, as I am going thru the same thing myself here!

I just bought one for a 93 4x4 22re from toyota dealer for $185 with taxes. The only place you can be assured to get the right one is from them. Need your VIN to get correct. I bought a few from ebay which looked right until i got them home and tried it and they didnt fit right. either the bend was wrong the holes were wrong etc. However bout a pump off ebay for $40 and runs like a champ.

Probably worthwhile to at least replace the pump strainer, right?

This guy IS a dealer, and he asks for your VIN.
Just tossing that out there.

I bought an aftermarket fuel pump strainer (spectra premium brand) and the new strainer sits lower than the old one and now the fuel pump bracket will not sit flush with the fuel tank mounting surface. Apparently they are only made to fit their own pumps which must be slightly different in size than oem. Would I be OK to just hit some brake cleaner on the original strainer and re-use?

I'd do that, or try to get the original - they're not very much $ are they? They ARE straining the fuel, after all...

I found another aftermarket strainer that works. Does the fuel system need to be bled and if so, how is it done? I've drove around a bit and my idle is very low - could be unrelated to my fuel pump bracket replacement though. The truck has been parked since April.

So, you're now all done with the repair? Glad it went fast for you - I'm probably going to be in the same boat, as doing all this work on the frame and then re-using those junk lines from the assembly...probably not smart!

I know of no bleed process, Brendan - always thought it's self-bleeding...maybe it's idling differently just because you chanced some stuff?? Anyone else?

Ya, I reused the old line as well. It didn't look terrible, but probably won't last all that long. The brake lines that run beside the fuel tank aren't in great shape either, but I cleaned out the crud around them. I just wanted to get the truck mobile again and am hoping it will get me through the winter, then I can park it and deal with it in the spring.

On a side note, it sounds like I have a wheel bearing on its way out and the inside of my windshield was fogging up (heater core?). These weren't issues when I last drove the truck. Repairs are coming more and more often.

That's how it works, eh?? Mine is off the road, just my plow truck, but that (as you know) is an important job in Maine!

Trying to find a new tank AND bracket like you got, without going thru the dealer. Can't hack this back together, so need new parts. I'm trying to remove the old bracket to save the fuel pump...matching an aftermarket tank to the Toyota bracket may be an issue. New tank $500 from Toy...$150 from auto parts warehouse....worth trying!
