okay im getting a fuel pump for my jeep due to a bad check valve. will this pump replace that check valve? also does it replace every part of the whole fuel pump assembly like the regulator, filter, and what not? or should i buy some other parts along with this as well while the tanks down?

What year is your xj? That valve would be included in the fuel pump assembly. I'm assuming your xj is post '96 since you are dropping the tank to get to the pump. The pump includes everything (the pressure regulator, the sending unit, etc) so there isn't anything you would need to do other than the pump itself

Stay away from Airtex fuel pump assemblies. Many parts stores stock them as a low price point. They have a reliability problem; search for a multitude of threads if you want confirmation of this.

My first choice is Bosch when it comes to fuel pumps. More expensive, but worth it. Carter is my second choice.

Okay so this pump assembly has everything besides the pump itself? And its also a 2000 xj

You can purchase just the pump motor itself or the entire assembly. If you purchase the assembly it will include new checkvalves. If you only need a check valve I would look for a way to replace just that. Its only a rubber washer, metal washer, and a spring. Kinda hard to pay $200+ just for that.

I read you cant replace it. Should i get my mechanic to try fixing it? But my mechanic will charge me 50 bucks to drop the tank. Should i replace the pump anyways at 105k miles?

Unless you can do the labor yourself, I'd recommend you replace the entire fuel pump assembly while the tank is down.

If one component on the assembly is failing, murphy's law is the failure of another component on that assembly may not be far behind.....

The fuel pump itself is replaceable as is the Pressure Regulator/Check Valve Assy.

Yeah tjwalker i agree on that murphys law thing. Im gonna replace everything(with financial aid from my parents so it wont be to bad on my part) anyways. In what i orignally posted, does that replace the pump? Or do i have buy a pump and filter on top of that?

Wow i never posted up the link to the pump i was looking at. Im on my ipod at school so i cant post up the link. Ill post on up later today when i get home. Unless someone can direct me to a fuel pump replacement. I want everything replaced. Sender and all if someone can just show me the way

Just ask for a "fuel pump ASSEMBLY". Be sure it is a FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY and it will have everything without exception.

I know the fuel regulator is on top of the fuel pump but where is the "check valve" for the 2000?

Does autozone supply bocsh pumps?

ZINGGG

Autozone only carries Airtex, which you want to avoid

Like the plague......

Try a NAPA parts store if you have one of those in your area.
