[T3] Fuel pump rod

[Robert Rogers]

The most common reason is that the rod "sticks" in the up stroke in the plastic flange.  If the flange can be removed without braking it, the hole can be enlarged slightly with a drill bit.  Be careful using a longer rod. It can damage the fuel pump.

>i noticed the fuel pump wasnt doing anything and noticed the pump rod was too short,  barely above the flange. i installed a longer one and changed the plastic flange but when i turn the engine the rod doesnt move. i dont understand why that would be. i wanted to pull the distributor drive gear anyway.....why would it not move up and down?? thanks kk
