Hey guys, I'm a newbie here but need to ask a question. I replaced my fuel pump in my 89 XJ 4.0 last night, everything went well and after reading the posts in this forum about fuel pump replacement I may have missed hooking up a hose.
The hose in question appears to be a fuel return line, there is a fuel barb that is a smaller diameter than the feed line, I didn't realize that there is a hose that is located inside of the tank that this fuel barb needs to fit into. I am currently driving this vehicle and am wondering if I am causing harm to the fuel pump or risking a vehicle fire by not having this hose connected to the barb. Do I need to drop the tank to hook this hose up or is it doable without dropping the tank??
Great forum here BTW, thanks for the help
