Axle17 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 This is interesting. I'm going to register my 2001 Focus and it's 4 fuel pump changes. Oh, the joy of cutting holes in the sheet metal to get quicker access and allow side of the road change outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
