Bob's, "hold my beer and watch this" 06 DCSB build.

Welp, first time in about 6 months I’m driving my Tacoma to work today. There’s nothing quite like the smell of hot rat piss blowing you in the face to take the chill away on a cool winter morning. Well maybe 90wt gear oil on a hot summer day….

This has been my daily as of lately.

 

So at some point, either moisture buildup inside the tank from letting my truck sit with a not full tank of gas or from a previous fill up the gas had water in it, my sending unit became corroded and didn’t work correctly. Well 2yrs later and more times than I care to remember of running out of gas, I finally replaced the pump and sending unit.


New pump awaiting tank removal.


Old pump out, new pump in.


Old sending unit that looks to be rusty or just yellowed from almost 20yrs of gasoline baths. AFAIK this is/was the original fuel pump that my truck rolled off the factory line with.
