How much does it cost to replace a fuel pump and fuel filter on a 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport?

My mom is having bad gas mileage and would like to know. If anyone knows or has an idea of how much, please let me know.How much does it cost to replace a fuel pump and fuel filter on a 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport?keep all filters clean and replace reguerly change all fluids when it is time to do so...do your maintnice on time and KEEP YOUR FOOT OUT OF THE GASHow much does it cost to replace a fuel pump and fuel filter on a 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport?The fuel pump and fuel filter are the wrong place to look in trying to improve gas mileage. If there are interruptions in fuel flow, that's when you suspect fuel pumps or fuel filters.



A fuel filter is usually pretty cheap-about $5 and you can change it following the directions in Chiltons Auto Repair manual.



Fuel pumps can be a real bear to get at. Mechanical fuel pumps aren't too hard and may cost about $30. Your hands will get dirty. Electric fuel pumps are inside the gas tank and can be a major pain to get to. Get one from the dealer if it turns out you have a bad one- you don't want to use a cheap part you'll have to replace in a few years. Changing an electric fuel pump might be over your head if you never worked on cars or removed a gas tank from a car.



If you pay a barrel of money getting all this work done and still have bad driving habits, you will not see any gains in gas mileage.



Make sure the tire pressure is adequate. Put in a fresh set of sparkplugs if that hasn't been done for a couple of years. Replace the air filter.How much does it cost to replace a fuel pump and fuel filter on a 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport?i bet that you will find that filter in the tank with the pump, but that is not the cause of poor fuel economy. try a tune up and air filter.
