Well my brother and i installed the Walbro 255 fuel pump and after putting everything back together, i get a low fuel light. I was close to the E when we installed it so i figured it might need a little gas. SO i put 3 gallons to see if that would work. But no its still on E and the light is on. THe gauge is flashing telling me how miles i have left till my fuel runs out. OTher than that i can hear the gas flowing from the fuel pump, so i know its at least working. WHat is going on here. Please help.

 

i had this happen...

seems like the float is caught on the tube inside the tank. this basically means the float cannot raise up, and show you have more gas.

if this is the case, you need to take it all out again, and make sure the tube is not interfering with the float movement.

hth,

Thanks MIchael. I will check on that tomorrow.

 

I had this same issue too. Mine was that the small black wire coming from the sender was broken at the solder. Easy fix but sucks that I had to remove everthing again.

Also, the housing needs to go back in the proper orientation.

 

My car sat at Nissan for 2 weeks while they tried to figure this one out (they replaced my tank because the stereo store drilled holes in it, long story). After replacing sensors and control unit (in the dash) they figured out that the floats were hitting the sides, the Nissan mechanic had replaced the assembly crooked...

^^Exactly...in needs to go with the proper alignment, and nothing can get in the way of that float.

 

Well problem fixed. It turns out that it was that black tube holding the float down. Filled it up with gas and the needle is at F. ANyways, is the fuel pump supposed to be that loud? I can hear it more than i did with the stock fuel pump.

 

congrats fernando...

the 255 is significantly louder than stock. its normal.

I'd say its about twice as loud...keeping in mind that the stocker was barely audible to me. Not irritating at all...just more noticable...especially with the radio off and the windows up.

 

I like the fact that I can hear the pump. I guess its a comfort thing knowing its working and if something starts to go wrong with it, I should be able to detect a change in sound.
