Cool and helpful info, hope soon will be able to restore my 94 suburban and 93 Cadillac DeVille and share the process

[@kruja1234w]

I have a 95 Deville with 80.000 m 5 years ago i purchased this car with 44 000 around 65 000 m fuel gauge went works only when it’s full Fuel pump it’s working fine Before this car I had a 94 Deville which i owned for 16 years , one day the fuel pump went I got stuck i had no choice paid $750 This idea came to me when I replace a fuel pump in my sister Buick Regal Took me 30 min to replace the fuel pump It blows my mind because Buick has this kind of design and Cadillac which is more expensive does not I was trying to figure out where exactly is the fuel pump locate it in this Deville I couldn’t start cutting by guessing thanks to you now i know exactly thank you

[@lawjo1978]

I totally agree with everything that you have said. I never understood for the life of me as to why they didn't build a access hole for the fuel pumps as they do wear out overtime. And if you have a full tank of gas and the pump goes.... Dropping a tank that will most likely weigh over 100lbs easy isn't a fun project.

[@sejinsong]

Today I finished mine: Cadillac Deville 1996. This was exactly same as yours except one: no middle line (line for a fuel vapor vent valve). I made the window much smaller referring to your video, but the radius was the same as yours at 5 o'clock position, where two quick connect lines are located. Thanks!

[@lawjo1978]

I'm glad that the was able to offer you some good reference points and also help you out

[@Hakimfarhat]

Same as me no middle line That worries me because now I feel like in the future I’m gonna smell some gas BUT I have the best solution for that Use sound proof shields that are made from gum use a cutter and apply it on the cutting lines it will work keeping any smell going in the car they are so sticky and stay in place

[@sejinsong]

@@Hakimfarhat It will be better to place some duct tapes over your glue.

[@tellsthetruth894]

Thanks for a great video. My question is, how did you decide where to cut the panel to be directly on top of the pump. You really did a good job. I need to do the same to 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, which needs a replacement pump. I need to be sure where to cut the panel above the fuel pump. Also, which tool did you use to cut the panel. Your comments will be appreciated.

[@poohfoster7120]

I just did thus on my 98 and it seems to be another cover over the pump is that normal? And should i cut that too?

[@lawjo1978]

That cover you have is a retainer ring that secures the fuel pump. No need to cut that. You're just cutting the floor. And you don't have to make deep cuts. My apologies for the late reply to you.

[@dennispeaks]

I have a 89 Cadillac Fleetwood fwd and the tank is a pain to drop. Does anyone know if this the same location?

[@lawjo1978]

Hey Dennis, if my memory serves me right that 89's pump will be in the same as the later year Caddy's

[@dennispeaks]

@@lawjo1978 thanks.

[@kentclark9908]

Did you have any issues installing the pump into the new rubber seal

[@lawjo1978]

What I did was to ease the install of the rubber seal was use some silicone type of grease. I got it from Napa Auto Parts

[@kentclark9908]

@@lawjo1978 I did lube it up pretty good I'm pretty sure it was shrunk a little cause it was cold last night after about a half hour or so of messing with it I stretched it out a little bit and was able to get it in.

[@lawjo1978]

@kent clark The colder weather will definitely play a role with dealing with rubber o-rings and seals. I'm glad you were able to get it on without much issue.

[@iyahoney7148]

Ok look here....... Anything else you do on your caddy let me know.👋. After I do all the testing I can do...... If having to replace my pump, this will be how I'm going to do it. Thank you soo much

Thank you for feedback. The best way to keep up with any new videos is subscribe to the channel.

Indeed. I already did that before I posted anything 😁. Going to be checking out your other videos as well. It's really hard to find my make, model, and year. So thank you again for sharing your knowledge and videos.

[@mic6735]

This is EXTREMELY helpful. I've scoured thru a lot of videos. I'm interested in what you've found to be your best solution to secure the metal down. I heard you mention it on the video but did that work? Can I see your final result somehow? I think I'm going to tackle this on Tues. I'm so excited

[@nVSGES]

Mr. Jones, we crosspaths again. Hope you are well. I have a 94 Cadi Deville Concours, if you remember? Question: Did you even try to replace the fuel filter or did you j6st go straight to replacing the fuel pump?

[@lawjo1978]

I replaced the fuel filter when I replaced the fuel pump. The fuel filter was a easy fix to do.

[@nVSGES]

@Mr. Law Jones Could & would that be the cheapest to fix ordo you figure if tou are already fixing that, might as well fix the fuel pump?

@GES The fuel filter is mounted on the driver side by the rear door. It's always good to change those out

[@makgyva8527]

Is this the same for a 97 Deville? I have the same engine as yours
