Why DIY a Fuel Pump Replacement?
Fuel pump jobs often come with sky-high labor costs. Most shops quote $700 to over $1,500 depending on the make and model. If you do it yourself, you could save hundreds—if not thousands.
Changing a fuel pump at home can be messy and unsafe without the right equipment. That’s where Rent A Lift comes in:
- ✅ Use our two-post lifts for safe tank access
- ✅ Avoid crawling under your car with jack stands
- ✅ Use high-end Milwaukee cordless tools
- ✅ Get help from on-site staff if needed
When to Replace a Fuel Pump
Symptoms that may point to a failing fuel pump include:
- Difficulty starting
- Sudden stalling
- Sputtering at high speeds

Real Customers, Real Savings
“I was quoted $1,400 to replace the fuel pump in my 4Runner. I bought the part for $220, rented the lift for a couple of hours, and knocked it out for under $300 total. Absolutely worth it.”
