Was doing a fuel filter change a moment ago. Everything seem to go smoothly until i started the engine and fuel started pouring out from the fuel tank!! Traced it to the top of the fuel tank and turns out that the fuel pumps's outlet nozzle had cracked. How in the world did that happen from changing the fuel filter?:mad: ...anyway do i have to change the complete fuel pump? Since the car is a mk1 16v Sporting, does that mean i can only use the punto 75, 85, and 90 fuel pumps?
 
Just go to the scrap yard and get carrier & pump just don't snap anything on removal. I would think the carriers will be the same you can use your existing pump BTW it cracked because you obviously pulled on the fuel lines

Hmm..don't remember pulling on the lines that hard. So you are saying that i can use a sender/carrier from a lower end model e.g 55's ? ok going to the scrappies now..thanks gt3man:)
