theycan just replace the pump module if they know what they are doing.....try and find one that comes with all new gaskets and a strainer......not a "universal" kit...

like this one

Also, is this one compatible with both the assemblies for both metal and plastic tanks?

The pump itself is NOT a servicable part, that pic IS what needs to be replaced, don't mis-inform. The only "servicable parts on the module are the strainer, pressure regulator and the level sensor.
wasnt stating the pump was ervicable. you dont need a whole sending unit, just the pump. the sending unit pops into two peices, the pump comes out of the lower half, the fuel level sensor is built into the outside of the lower half of the sending unit as well.

the pic ISNT what needs replaced, just the pump on the inside. Unless your lazy, dont know what your doing, or like spending extra money.

Just went and found these pics of mine since people dont seem to beleive me.

Here the WHOLE "sending unit"

Her it is in half, you can clearly see the actual fuel pump resides INSIDE the sending unit so you DONT need to replace the whole part JUST the pump (in the middle, Walbro 255)!!!!

I never said I didn't believe you, in fact in another thread I stated that you can purchase just the pump, but if you have to take out the entire unit, and if it's a high milage car, why not just replace the entire unit. I also look at the possibility that not everyone is mechanically inclined and can disect the module. All the FSM gives is info to replace the unit, not rebuild it, so consider that side of it too. If the guy wants to try to rebuild and breaks something, he'll have a new pump and need to buy a module too. Therefore it's not being lazy, or wanting to spend extra $$ but the simplest way to do it.
