Soldering wires on intank fuel pump

Post by MKPatrolGuy »

I am putting a new pump in a Ford Festiva. The new pump doesn't have a connector. Is it OK to cut the old wires and reuse the connector? I will solder and cover all joins with heatshrink tubing.

Maybe double heat shrink the wires as I have had soldered wires "push" through single heat shrink before in a few situations.

Otherwise, should be all good.

I put heatshrink over some fuel pump wires in a old car of mine.
I pulled the pump out 12 months later and the heat shrink had dissolved!!!

Just thought id let you know........

Well it is all back together. RoldIT and SLOGQ I read your replies after I had finished. I flattened out any points on the soldered joins before doing the heat shrink and it also has the original spiral protective sheath over it.

I'll check it all in a month or so, it is pretty easy to get to, to make sure the heat shrink is OK.

Cheers
