How would you store a mildly used electric fuel pump?
Wondering what considerations there would be in storing a used
electric fuel pump that likely has a fair number of miles left in it. Suggestions? Thanks. |

Maybe coat it with a shot of WD-40 and wrap it in Saran wrap. Then bag it. I've got some fairly new parts coming off the car I'm junking because they'll fit my new car. Alternator, starter motor, coil packs, spark module, A/C compressor, condenser. Except for the condenser which I'll just plug, that's what I'm thinking of doing. Might be years before I use them. So I'm watching this to see other advice. I'll have to go buy WD-40. Don't like it, but I hear this is what it's made for. |

Just don't get any on the electric motor portion, just the bits with seals, exposed uncoated metal, etc. Petroleum based solvents can cause the windings to swell (or so the story goes, and why take the chance?) and I would assume that they could wipe out the lube in any bushings/bearings on the motor shaft. nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

You ought to feel stupid now but we all know you will just somehow rationalize it to yourself somehow. nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

WD-40 won't harm the pump, but in a few months it will be gummed up quite well. It will then take a whole lot more WD-40 to free up all the moving parts again. I would suggest spraying it with a good grade of silicone oil. The silicone won't gum up, but will cost a bit more than twice as much as a can of WD. Go with the silicone spray.

With as much trouble as it is to replace a Mustang's fuel pump, I'm certainly not going that far to install a used fuel pump that "likely has some miles left." |
