    Question Internal Fuel Pump Repair

    Just pulled out the internal fuel pump hanger and saw that a piece
    had cracked. I’m pretty sure it’s a positive or ground connection.

    Anyways I was able to pinch it in place for a quick fix, I wanted to know if I’m able to solder it back together?

    Didn’t take a pic of the actual part so here’s one that I took from online that cost 130$ that I don’t want to spend.

    Thanks in advance!

    should be repairable, I replaced some internal tank wires on my E32 with new wires and soldered them. Looks like that parts is bolted on, so make a wire with 2 ring terminals

    thats a bonding cable (ground) and you can repair it, even if it's just crimping.

    also it should be noted that the pump is not entirely necessary, but living in texas during august means you should probably keep it working.

    Cool

    A Weld would work,,I went with Airtex as the electric fuel pump motor is replaceable plus Airtex has lifetime warranty.
