2000 Gas tank issues

Hello all new Miata owner,,rescue job in progress on a 2k ,,,have to replace fuel tank ..I'm thinking,the whole fuel pump assembly is rotted,,, car has been sitting for a couple years. Any opinions ,,and or advise would be appreciated..,. I live in northwest Tarrant co. Near TMS.Paul

Basically looking for good parts support , and anyone who might have done a tank change, what to look for, tricks ?? Someone else to do it for me?? Anything,, TIA...

The fuel pump is removed,,and is a rusty rotted mess,, and not sure if the tank can be saved.... Any miata speciality shops around?

The fuel pump assembly is mounted on top of the tank and accessed via the rear deck.

Rogue on this board lives near you and is 'da Man, when it comes to all things Miata.

If you have to replace the fuel pump, you may want to consider a Walbro from http://autoperformanceengineering.co...tml#mazda_apps . The one listed for a 97 will work in a 99/2000 with some modifications to connectors. I was running through pumps about every nine months using the Autozone replacements. The walbro has lasted a year and nine months so far. (I drive 40,000 miles a year.) The Walbro is louder, though, and will cycle a lot of fuel.

Hope this helps.

sammm--thx pump is out on garage floor,, and looks really bad,, I can however save the assembly, I will just need pump and sender unit....
onething--I will try to get a hold of Rouge, ive tried the number on the Miata solutions website but no reply as of yet.
Walsted--any and all Info is much appreiciated,,,this 2000 adopted me I guess, don't know anything about it ,but its a cool car,, cant wait to hear it run.

Sorry, but I am a one man band and can't answer the phone everytime it rings.
I don't have a receptionist, although sometime i feel like I need one.
