Does anyone know where to get a gasket kit for a fuel pump on a 216? Or preferably the NAPA part number for the gaskets, or will I have to just buy another pump. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | It shouldn't be difficult to make if you are stuck. Sorry, I thought I read gasket as in pump to block gasket.

It is getting to the point where you are kind of hard pressed to just go to a store and get parts for these trucks, you usually have to wait a bit. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 | If you go to Napa you can probably buy a replacement fuel pump for less money that a rebuild kit will cost. If you are opening the pump to clean stuff out you should remove the check valves inside. You should also think about looking inside your fuel tank if you have lots of stuff in the fuel pump.

I believe they have a "contact" feature. Then get your local guy to order it out.

Now you can't touch a kit for $40! The cheapest replacement I can find now is at RockAuto for $32. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 | it doesn't cost any more, the money just isn't worth anything any more | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 | ^ x2
Between Autozone and NAPA I haven't had any trouble finding gaskets for the 216 or any of its parts. The manager at NAPA even put in a good bit of time helping me find a suitable replacement gasket for my Innerline oil filter. | | |
