REALITY SETS IN: I have dropped at least 100 fuel tanks with some being very difficult and some being very easy. Most people would agree with me when i say If you have to remove the driveshaft it is NOT an "easy" fuel tank removal. If you have to remove the pencil brace and work through a tiny hole to reach hose clamps and cut vent lines it is NOT an easy removal. You are a glass half full optimistic person! I watched this video hoping this was an easy job and i was exuberant at your early claim of "easy job". But, as i watched the video i became deflated seeing this is most definitely NOT an easy job...

Thank you so much for this video!! I have a 2007 Mercury Milan without the sunroof and everything you described was just as your video explained. My dome light came out in one piece and I unplugged it, Without the sunroof the bolt for the base IS closer, but you still have to go back about 3 inches from the dome light opening. It WAS challenging, but with patience you can get it done. Instead of a wrench, I used a 1/4 inch rachet with a short 10mm socked and that allowed me to unscrew to old base. The hardest part was getting your hands in behind the headliner to push the two small tabs that released the antenna connector. Thanks again for the video. It helped a lot!!

I used this video for a 2008 F250 Super Duty 5.4 a couple of differences. I did not have to remove any of the drive line. The rear strap flexed enough to go past the driveline and the front strap was easy to unbolt from both sides. Because I used ratchet straps to let it down a few inches after I removed the steel straps I was able to push the tank to the side enough to get to the hose attachments on the top of the tank. Mine had yellow tab push release hoses on the front and rear of the tank, and the big hose on the sending unit was push tab but the blue tab fuel line needed the fuel line disconnector tool. Also, used a coal chisel and hammer to knock the keeper ring counter clockwise to remove it. Cheers, great video.

Have a 2009 Ford Fusion that the antenna 'stinger' had corroided and the post broken, as described in this video, resulting in the need to completely replace the base as well. Thank you Skidoo Rider, from a Board Rider for the best 'how to' repair video I've watched over the years.

@lambition Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video. I'm about to do this on my truck. Could you have removed fuel filler hose from the tank instead of disconnecting from filler neck? Looks like it would be easier, but don't know if it is accessible with tank still on the truck.

@skidoorider5856 Жыл бұрын

Too hard to get to, it was easier to disconnect the hose from the filler neck

@lambition Жыл бұрын

@@skidoorider5856 Just replaced fuel pump today. I was able to just pull hose from fuel tank instead of filler neck. Once I lowered fuel tank a little, there was just enough room to loosen the clamp. Then, I was able to push hose off from the space between frame rail and fuel tank. Applying some oil inside of the hose before assembling made it easy to put hose back on. Took me about 3 hours. Now the problem is... My issue was not the fuel pump after all. Wasted money and time. :( I have intermittent fuel pressure issue at idle and I have replaced FPDM, fuel filter, fuel pump, checked grounds, now only remaining problem is fuel pressure sensor. And an advise to those who cannot get quick disconnects with pull tab disconnected. Make sure pull tab is fully out. I couldn't get mine off and it turns out pull tab was not fully out. Pulled it just little bit more and came right off.

You didn't mention how hard it is to get the metal ring off. I used a 1/8 x 6" brass nipple. After smacking my hand a few times I decided to hold the nipple with Vise Grips. 3 good wacks and I had it off. The lines were very hard to get off of the pump. I broke the nipples off. Get the clips off Amazon. You will not be left standing there thinking of using hose clamps on the pump nipples.
