Fuel Pump Module Assembly for 1999-2004 Mitsubishi Montero
I got a good deal on a 2000 Montero Sport XLS that I bought off of Facebook Marketplace after reading good reviews on the model.

The vehicle needed a fuel pump. But this is where it got tricky and why I’m adding this post to the Mitsubishi forum. To spare other Sport owners the nightmare of hunting for the correct fuel pump assembly.

Often times you can replace a fuel pump without replacing the entire fuel pump assembly. But once my mechanic dropped the gas tank and removed the fuel pump the entire assembly was completely rusted out. As the vehicle had been sitting for awhile.

As a matter of fact, the entire tank was full of rust, which also had to be addressed. Which I resolved by filling the tank with 10 gallons of water, ten gallons of white vinegar and baking soda which I let soak for a week, which did the trick.

The properties in vinegar naturally dissolves rust. But I digress.

Meanwhile If you do a search on a fuel pump for a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport you’ll be bombarded with a myriad of options; ranging from reasonable, around $40 bucks to out of this world; about $700 dollars.

I found a fuel pump assembly, model number E8439H, on Ebay for $43.50, see attachment, which included the entire assembly--including the fuel pump.

And after we installed it, my Montero fired right up; which was music to my ears . After a hellish week hunting for the right fuel pump assembly.

I hope this post helps someone avoid the nightmare I went through to find a fuel pump for my Montero.
