I broke my Accent's fuel pump
Ahem. I broke my fuel pump.
(shuffles feet in embarrassment)
I was changing the fuel filter on my 2001 Accent, got too rough, and snapped
the plastic outlet where the hose from the filter connects to the pump.
Oops. Deciding I was too much of an amateur to do fuel pump repairs myself,
I had the car towed to the nearest mechanic. The mechanic thought I would
have to get a new fuel pump, that they don't come in pieces. I looked up the
Hyundai parts website (http://dcs.hyundaidealer.com/customer/index.jsp) and
thought I found the relevant $5 component (part# 31112-25000), so I ordered
it. It's listed as "PLATE ASSY-FUEL PUMP". The mechanic is still skeptical.
Am I deluding myself?
My wife has offered to lock me in the basement the next time I felt the DIY
urge coming.
