Today was a good day to work on the E150 van I went to work on the old gas tank by removing it and prepping the new gas tank with the new fuel pump assembly housing unite and  to get ready to reinstall back on the van. I had one problem with the removing the old tank with the breather plastic line it snap I had to burn weld it back together a quick fix.  

I got a chance to work on the E150 today with all the rain that we got in rhode Island that put a haul on  me working on the van, but its still rain on me today once again. I install a new starter  and a electric high pressure fuel pump. I was going to install a new gas tank and fuel pump assembly united but the rain came down hard on me I had to stop, I'll try it again tomorrow.

I been kinda busy with ordering new parts for the E150 van, I got a electric high pressure external fuel pump and a new gas tank with a new hanger assembly fuel pump plus a new Ignition lock cylinder with key. waiting for the weather to get better its been raining a lot so I am on stand by just to install all the new parts.

I been doing all this work all by myself with little help trying to restore the van back to the road again, but sometime it seam like I take a step forwarded and four step backwards. it's hard I keep telling myself to quick working on it and buy a newer van and start from their but I can't let go of the van something about this van its been real good to me never let me down on the road it got me there and back safe in any weather.

It's been a challenge working on the 4.9 engine in the E150 a very tight place to use your tools but with patient and a lot of rust penetrating oil, I was able to remove all the parts that was in the way, to be able to install the new fuel regulator and the intake/exhaust gasket. way before I got to this point the bolts to the alternator and the air pump was seas rusted in, had to to use a ply-bar and hammer then out and this took some time I almost quick the process of trying to install the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold gasket.

Well today I got straight to work on the E150 taking things apart in the engine to get at the fuel presure reguitor but it's deep in motor between the intake and the exhaust manifold and since I am replacing the fuel reguitor. it's a good time to replace the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold gasket as well. its hard work working on old and rusty bolts and tight working space to work on.

I brought a few more new parts like compete distributor assembly and a relay for the fuel pump,ECM relay. and also a fuel regulator.  I am going to order a fuel sending unit and check the gas tank when I take down the tank from the E150. Now that its getting warmer I can start work on the van again, while I was not working on the van I been checking out for use part or new parts on craigslist.

new up date on the E-150 van  I rebuild the old  distributor and install it  in the engine and I couldn't get it to start at all and I try many thing but not thing work yet, so I order more parts, I think its not getting gas so I have to test the fuel pressure and see if the fuel injector are getting power from the ECM. Now it's winter and it is getting harder to work on the van so I'm taking a break and wait on better condiction to work.
