It is worth noting that Aeromotive Fuel Systems & Components have great reliability and long lifespan as much as 100,000 miles and more.

A lot of drivers call a mechanic to replace fuel pump but others do it by themselves. Replacing fuel system is not quite difficult especially if you follow next steps.

Step 1. Locating the old fuel pump

Big things start with small steps. That’s why the first step you need to do is to determine the location of your fuel pump. There are two types of pumps: in-tank and inline. In-tank pumps are located inside the fuel tank and the inline ones are usually placed underneath the car in front of the tank.

Step 2. Removing the fuel pump

  • In-tank fuel pumps can be removed from inside the car through an access panel in the trunk. In other way it can be removed from bottom of the back seat. Firstly you should disconnect fuel line. There is only one line which is placed on the pump’s top. Then disconnect electrical wires and remove the pump.
  • Inline fuel pumps are located outside the fuel tank that’s why to remove it you should just unscrew few bolts. But there is a sleeve that protects this type of pumps and it should be removed too. Firstly disconnect 2 fuel lines and then electrical wires as well. Then you can remove pump from the sleeve. Pay attention that during the process pump may leak some fuel, so it is recommended to have some cans or basins to catch it.

Fuel Pump Replacement

Step 3. New fuel pump installation

Before installation of new fuel pump make sure that it is compatible with your vehicle model. The installation won’t be difficult – you should make all moves that you do to remove the fuel pump but conversely. After connecting electrical wires and fuel lines your job will be done.

7 SUV parts and accessories giving a finishing touch to your vehicle

Posted by admin | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 07-07-2014

Typically, when you buy an SUV, the vehicle is equipped with all the primary functional parts. Even though they definitely ensure the functionality of your vehicle, they may not give it the style and personality it really deserves. Only you can breathe life into your own vehicle, so we decided to pay your attention to some SUV parts and accessories that might help you get started. Those are mostly minor interior parts enhancing your driving experience.

suv accessories

Floor mats

Floor mat is a vivid example of an accessory no one notices if it fits the style of your vehicle. Yet, an old, or weird, or an out-of-style mat is an eyesore, and it is impossible not to notice it any time you open your vehicle door.

Cargo liners

Basically, the same thing goes for cargo liners. Trunks can sometimes get pretty messy, and cargo liners are designed to help you solve this problem. If you want to keep your trunk clean and undamaged, getting a cargo liner in time is an excellent idea – you will be able to save a lot of time and effort while tidying up.

Roof racks

roof racks

A roof rack is another accessory that can give your vehicle a style of its own and bring superior functionality. Even if you are not going to use it all the time, you should still choose a rack(s) that will not ‘cripple’ your vehicle, and look natural. All in all, there are plenty of options, and if you would like some specific examples, take a look at http://www.carid.com/roof-racks.html

Seat covers

One more accessory that can change the look and feel of your car is a seat cover. Seat covers offer a great chance to show what you care about and create a cozy atmosphere in your vehicle. The options are virtually unlimited – both in terms of material and in terms of color. The most popular materials include leather, velour, and neoprene. Color range does not have any limits at all, so use your imagination!

Trailer hitches

Surely, not everyone uses a trailer, but if you do, it is better to think about a trailer hitch beforehand. Depending on your goals, you can choose between weight carrying and weight-distributing hitches. The first ones forward the weight to the suspension, while the latter ones distribute some of it to your front wheels.

Organizers

Once again it is important to stress how great it is when the car is not messy. If you want to keep everything in order all the time, get a couple of organizers for your vehicle. Typically, such accessories include mini-trash bags, pocket pods, consoles, and other accessories, helping you to keep your SUV tidy.

Bike racks

Finally, if you enjoy a nice bike ride somewhere in the wild from time to time, you might want to get special bike racks. Most drivers install them on the roof, yet we would recommend clamping the bike fork to the rear wheel of your vehicle. It is much safer, handy, and simply nicer from the esthetic point of view.
Surely, this list can be continued. Yet, we want to pay your attention to some accessories drivers typically forget. There are plenty of ways to customize your vehicle interior and exterior, as SUVs can be equipped with audio and stereo systems, custom gadgets, navigators, etc. If you want to get more information about SUV parts and accessories, visit our website section at CARiD: http://www.carid.com/suv-accessories.html

Italdesign Guigiaro is planning to celebrate their 45th anniversary in great fashion this year. To make the people shout in astonish they are launching their all time best model, the Parcour concept. The design that they have created to mark this special year is really an interesting one.

About the origin of the design

The name of the car came after a activity that is practiced in the urban regions of France. The original spelling of the name is “parkour”. The people taking part in the activity throw their body against the railings and walls. It can be well related to anti-gravity ballet. All the moves are freestyle in nature. This show also sometimes shown in online channels like YouTube.
The car was tested at Sardinia. It is a small island and is best for driving this cool car. The creators of the design have kept the concept of parkouring at time of conceptualizing the design of the car.
The Parcour is a result of long time research of the designing team. It is a long time since they created a running prototype. It cost them almost million dollars.
They had to come up with the new model as they have also felt the threat of the global economic crisis.
They have also allowed Volkswagen to buy a good portion of their stake. This has been a wise decision on part of the authorities. This makes the future of their dream factory secure.

But the dealings between the two partners have never affected their private drives. Guigiaro has all the right to carry out innovative ventures independently.
