Two thousand eleven prius, I think the fuel pump maybe going need some advice

Thank you

 

Your online manuals and info is the best. I thank you for that.

 

Great advice, on Friday the 75 out much colder.. No problem. I think you're right.
I called Battery Place. Hoping they will test it, and I think you're correct about the heat and the battery...it was brought the only way I could afford..rebuilt...1 year warranty..up 7/31.
I got a simple plan as well. Because it's really old hi miles car 232k.
, replace the fuel pump anyway. I still smell sulfur on heavy takeoff on the highway. I will pay the $100 labor and get that aftermarket cat. Installed anyway.
Even yesterday, my MPG was poor. When it's nice out, it always gets a lot better.(cooler)
On this car. Gas mpg was never great unless I worked burbs.
Bringing the battery to my attention was a great idea...if I had to guess, I think now the battery could be weak under heavy use only.
I do Uber in the city. Thank you..
Hopefully, the battery guy calls me back Monday and I can get a replacement.
I don't go down steep hills. So I accelerate heavy and hard braking with Dr. Pruis app. screenshot the #'s. I will try that..

 

kinda confused on this..explai

 

I understand I'm very handy, like, say, I needed an inverter. If I take it to a shop, any inverter's 250 for a good used one. They're gonna charge me 400 for the inverter and 400 for the laborer. I could do that all myself. My hardest part is diagnosing certain things. Like a fuel pump, I really don't think it's bad I think it's got something to do with my battery, but it's okay to buy a fuel pump as long as they don't get an effective one. It's defective one, the same thing with my converter. I definitely feel there's a clog in it. I smell rotten eggs might accelerate heavy on the highway. I bought an aftermarket one shop told me because they had the lift it needs to be welded one hundred dollars install, they don't think my old one's bad.They had it on the lift. But in a couple weeks, I want to haven't put the new one on anyway. I'd like to keep the car for another 70000 miles.
Thanks for your help

 

Basic fuel pump question. How low should the gas level be to replace the pump.

 

I'll kill the batteries and the circuit breaker. I'm not worried about the guests. I'm more worried about filling my house up with fumes. I bought the whole assembly. It comes real soon. I'm not afraid I'm getting gas on my hands, but I'm at a little less than a 1/2 a tank. Now, I think I want to run it down to maybe like a quarter. I think I need something with the the high bread in this city. I'm getting 34 miles to a gallon now. It's not doing the symptoms, it was doing earlier. My battery's about halfway, it's not raining to dead. It's eighty two degrees.I've been driving this car hard 2 years this is why I don't mind putting the fuel pump on it. Of course, maybe it'll keep a further future failure, but also I have that converter. I want to put in once. I get the battery looked at. Early this week from the place I bought this one. I'm probably going to put a set of fuel injectors in it news park plugs. I have new coils, but I want to make sure I buy the right dense co. Coils and not from eBay or Amazon, but it's kind of strange I'm in the middle of city of Philadelphia. The mileage tanks on certain days to about 34, and then when I go down to the beach area where the car breathes better. I could get 40 plus average, but never in the city only on like, really cool days and rainy days and just different days. I drive in the power mode. All the time, but the thing is, the car usually runs. Decent, all the time, so I don't have a problem with demolits. I'm having that weird problem. When the car sits, it runs like it's restricted like a clogged converter. A lack of fuel because of miss fire or backfire and there's no codes, so take it one step at a time. It's fuel pump, no big deal. Take the place back to the the muffler shop pay on a box.Let me install my new converter. See, if the fuel pump helps and then see if the exhaust helps a little bit
And then maybe the battery they'll swap it for a new one. Then I'll know a lot more. It's a good car, though. Whatever problem I'm having is not a major problem. It's just a different problem.Thanks for your help.
