    I need to get to the in tank fuel pump on a 2002 Renault Master 2.2L .

    Does the fuel tank need to be dropped to access the fuel pump? The rear of the van is ply-lined and I don't want to cut the plywood if there is no floor access to the sender/pump.

    I can't find any details online about this. I've checked, by following the fuel lines, that there is no external fuel pump from the tank. So I have to presume it has an in tank pump.

    Its only accessible by dropping the tank.
    Don't bother with the spurious pumps they don't last, think about a new relay as well.

    Have you dropped one before CJ? Anything out of the ordinary I should know before starting the job?

    There isn't a problem with the pump or sender. I'm looking to add a switch to turn the pump off/on as part of a project with the van. It's access to the pump wiring is what I need.

    I helped a friend drop his to clean it out.
    Nothing tricky but rusted fasteners are an issue if they snap the job can become much harder.
    I wouldn't bother dropping the tank if you just want to install a switch in the power feed line, trace it back and cut it inside the vehicle.
    Switches for this kind of thing are better kept dry.
    Get a decent switch and think about deutsch connectors if you want to make a good job of it, don't use those crap pre-insulated (red/blue/yellow) connectors.
    This crowd are pretty good for elec supplies.

    Thanks for the link. Will definitely come in handy for the job.

    I had a quick look but couldn't see the wiring loom to trace it back inside the van, only the fuel lines. Do you happen to remeber if it runs along the frame rail from the tank?

    I'm planning on using a DPDT On/On switch to alternate between the tank pump and another secondary pump.
