   Replacing electric fuel pump. I have the old one out but not sure how I am going to get new one in. It has to go through the fuel gage hole with line connection in a smaller hole. The 90 0n the steel line has a grommet on the end of it to seal it in the tank. It only goes in the top of tank. I need a Houdini move to get it back in. If anyone has done one of these let me know the trick to get it back in. Thank you.

   We ended up mounting an external fuel pump in the engine compartment.

   Funny thing how fuel pumps ended up inside tanks isn't it. A lot of automobiles are like that. What am I missing? Sooner or later they need replacing and it's not easy. Kenneth Ingram, UMD.

   I have to wonder, with fuel pumps now inside of tanks (and so many repairs), that has to increase the cost to replace, and in some cases, people might not have the money to do the replacement, but can find out they can get a new loan with lower payments short term savings compared to the repair.  
   
   Heck I know the timing belt on my 99 Civic is going to cost me at least $1,000 to replace, if I don't replace it, it will cost me about $3,500 to $4,000 to replace the engine when the belt goes.  We just got our son for college graduation last year a 07 Civic for $7,900 and monthly payments are $178, plus we know it is a reliable car for him to get to work, while he is in another city 4 hours from us. 
   
   If insurance and personal property taxes going up wouldn't be so bad, I should be replacing my 99.
