1996 Ford F150 OBS Fuel Pump replacement, front and rear pumps

[@MrFairworld]

Whoever designed a pump inside a tank, without access, is a genius. especially when these are notorious for failing.

[@coreyh912]

Very good video. Very informative and shows a lot of key points.

[@angelotillas9782]

Good job, James was outstanding. He is a really good mechanic, you guys must have truck owners lining up for work.

[@CH-cd5um]

Thank you for this video, taking the bed off is much easier than dropping the tanks.

[@BenFierro79]

Thanks for watching

[@Cherokee93]

I disagree

[@Me-dh5go]

Outstanding, no shaky cam, no over blown explanations, to the point and got it done. Kudos to the boys, they were great. Just a suggestion, use a brass punch to loosen the locking rings next time. It's just me, but sparking up isn't fun.

[@BenFierro79]

Thank you

[@roberthayes5037]

Outstanding! Taking the bed off is easier than taking the tanks off. Great job.

[@kennynewell85]

Thanks for the video. Doing my front pump tomorrow. Wish I had an extra hand to remove the bed. Just going to drop the tank.

[@ffhasselhoff]

Just wanted to say thanks for giving me the knowledge and confidence to tackle this job. I replaced both of my fuel pumps following this video. Saved a ton of money by not taking it in to the shop and I upgraded my bed bolts (access from the bed) to make it easier if there is ever a next time. Thanks for making this video!

[@BenFierro79]

Thank you, glad this helped

[@drefun9249]

How did you upgrade your bed bolts?

[@Dave52732]

I have this "opportunity" in my immediate future, thanks for the demonstration, time to order fuel pumps...

[@zaczanenghi5240]

Nice video. Great to see father and son working on the truck

[@BenFierro79]

Thank you

[@JohnSmith-cf4gn]

I had to replace both fuel pumps on my 1990 F150. Had to take the bed off to do it. Great engineering Ford. 🙄😁

[@mickarps4397]

Great video. Busted loose bolts today, bed off next weekend looking for leak and will change out fuel pumps while there.

[@davidreynolds4684]

I'm surprised the butt connectors weren't marine shrink insulated. Good video. I've done several of these. Bed off and bed on. The bed off jobs were no fun but I wasn't doing two at the time.

[@esegoldberg]

Great video sir. I like the idea of removing the bed to access the tanks instead of trying to do all the work from underneath. I'm also debating on whether to order the tanks with fuel pumps already installed. I have a couple of months before I have to make a final decision(I plan on renewing the Texas Inspection and License plates before I get it repaired.). I might have the bed removed first to see if the gas tanks are good enough to where replacing the fuel pumps will be enough or if the gas tanks are bad to where it's better to replace the tanks and fuel pumps. Again, thanks for taking the time to make this video...:)

[@chrislangston929]

Great video! Thanks for walking though step by step.

[@ebaht7468]

Awesome video i hate tight spaces and i have to replace both pumps this video just took a load of stress off my mind and no dealing with emptying my full tanks ! Ima just remove about 5 gal each just in case give myself wiggle room lol

[@JimmyHarrison-yz2pt]

3/31/24 7:30pm nice Vidio very helpful. Fixing to do both on my truck and planned on removing the bed . Great job and God bless.

[@BenFierro79]

Thank you

[@dronejunkie2951]

I’m working on mine right now replacing both sending units, fuel pump and gas filter under the frame… I will need to disconnect the battery and let the air out Thanks for your advice 👍

[@arturorangel1710]

That boy,he's a pro!!

[@cashncoffee]

I have the same problem with my 96 Ford F150. My front tank has a large rusty hole in it and the rear one works but very rusty. I plan on replacing both tanks and install new fuel pumps. Those bolts that holds the bed was a job!!! I had trouble getting the ones at front to come free from the large bushings even after spinning them with an impact and lubricating them. Not lifted the bed yet but wish me luck!!!

[@BenFierro79]

With that much planned work, I'd just cut the bad bed bolts and replace them, good luck

[@Vic9mm]

Great video only thing I'd do different is solder the wires instead...I don't wanna take a chance of a bad crimp and have to remove the bed again.😅👍

[@drivewaygarage1561]

Nice video. I think if a guy had a parking structure or a tree, you could pick up the bed with some come alongs or straps. Then a guy could probably do it by himself.

Never, we take very good care of our vehicles , no worries 👍

[@hotrodgavin6543]

i tried my hardest to remove the lines with the plastic tools but they just didn't work the one-pice Metal tool that's like $30 at Napa works the best i have a 1992 F250 and its the same setup but different connecters on fuel pump mine has female connecter right on the top of pump they are not made anymore auto parts stores have given me a hard time trying to get the right pump right after i replaced the rear pump i noticed my gas was going out very quick it was going into the front tank from the return line i used the old fuel filter and put a piece of hose on the other end and put a screw in it because there is no line block offs that i can find for it front tank pump assembly is $250 and same for rear it's very expensive

[@randalynfierro5430]

Good job James

[@343Talent]

Great video

[@BenFierro79]

Thank you

[@jamesweaver4021]

Great video, thanks

[@thomasament4639]

I changed Both fuel punps but whth the rear tank Selected All the retun fuel imstead of going ban to the Rear rank ends Up filling the front tanks Am at a loss. Luckily I have the bed off. Since Both pumps Are new I can’t imagin I have a bad pump. Ideas😊

[@paulsopak984]

Do the front and rear in-tank pumps, push fuel to the dual tank selector valve on the frame rail ?? There is another fuel pump just fwd of that....to push gas to the engine ??

[@randomguy459]

Love the video, very helpful. Im having an issue with my 95. The front fuel pump is returning fuel to the rear tank. When i switch to the rear tank, it runs for a bit, then the truck sputters for a bit then will die if you dont switch tanks. I was told by a mechanic that the check valve in the front pump went bad. Just wondering if the pumps you got had the check valves?

[@BenFierro79]

I was told the check value was built in when I bought the new pumps

[@brucecubie6656]

Noticed your exhaust, looks good I'd like to copy it on my 96XLT, can you explain it?

[@BenFierro79]

I got an aftermarket Y pipe, bought 3" single pipe exhaust with Jones Turbine muffler, did axle dump with a 3" inlet 5" outlet tip

[@user-jm3bd1nt6r]

What size are the bed bolts??

[@Teleman01]

So I have a dual tank 1993 F150 5.0. Front tank runs perfectly. The rear tank I replaced along with the fuel pump a couple days ago. I'm finding that I could not start the car with that fuel pump. I finally had to hook a clear hose to the output of the fuel pump and run 12 V directly to it to see what was going on. Basically on this new fuel pump, when I do that, I just see fuel puttering out in tiny quantities. Should I see a solid column of fuel coming out of that fuel pump with it running with 12 v directly connected to it? It's obviously running, but for some reason only a little bit of fuel comes out. I'm either thinking the fuel sock is blocked somehow or it's a brand new fuel pump. Any ideas? Thank you!

[@BenFierro79]

I would check the sock or you may have gotten a bad pump, I have had it happen before, broken right out of the box.

[@kennethsmith1744]

Good job

[@BenFierro79]

Thanks

[@danemartin5674]

Thanks.

[@BenFierro79]

You're welcome

[@UCcYiOpTJtZPmtbRaE-JWt0w]

Isn't there supposed to be a check valve on the pump for the front tank?

[@BenFierro79]

The fuel pumps have check valves made into them. there used to be a check valve kit that was added to the fuel lines where they hooked on the tank, but these are now obsolete.

[@trashman1694]

They're not "obsolete" the old fuel pumps had check valves as well the problem was they kept failing prematurely because ford removed the fuel tank selector valve on the later ninth gen trucks, and would pressurize both supply lines causing fuel pressure constantly on the opposite tanks check valve. They'll probably fail on these new pumps same way.

[@davidcarter8268]

Great job , question why did you not replace the whole unit on the front tank Thank You

[@BenFierro79]

Our parts store did not have 2 and it gave us the opportunity to show both ways

[@randylee2549]

so I guess Delphi's strong recommendation to drop tanks and clean the tanks and flush with S&W then dry, doesn't matter when doing a fuel pump repair, OK!

[@BenFierro79]

That's a good recommendation, thanks for the info

[@willspeak6661]

Did you get the same pump for the front and rear tanks

[@BenFierro79]

No I was not able to due to what parts store had on hand and I needed sooner than later

[@tidefan4987]

Can you please tell me how or where to purchase the correct pump assembly for both tanks that have the required check valve to keep the fuel from transferring tank to tank? The 94 and up do not have the tank selector valve so the check valves are built in to the pumps. I replaced both of mine but the fuel transfers from front to rear tank. All the pumps I can find show 92 to 97 and none appear to have check valves. Thank you for any info.

[@BenFierro79]

I bought both of mine at O'Reilly, did not give me options about check valve but I lucked out and worked, everything I have read recently does state that the check valve is built in, sorry can not be more help

[@tidefan4987]

@@BenFierro79 thanks for the reply Ben. I have found a way to tell if the valve is there. You can blow into the return line with your mouth. If the air goes through the valve is not there. If the air is restricted it has the valve. Thanks again

[@neilious1]

Front and rear are different

It would of been good if they provided us with part numbers and brand

[@JoseLopez-tb5mk]

So my "pointer" on the fuel gauge on dash is way past the "full" mark when i switch to using the front tank What would cause this ,"specificslly" ty.

[@BenFierro79]

Possible bad sending unit, or float on pump is stuck upright

Not a bad ground??

[@BenFierro79]

Yeah it could be a bad ground

What tool model / size did you buy to remove the fuel lines. I rented a set and they don't fit. Thank you.

I got a plastic set from harbor freight

[@TxParkerd]

What did you use to clean out the old gas from the rear tank ?

[@BenFierro79]

A gallon of diesel

How many gallons is the back tank thks

[@BenFierro79]

rear tank is 18 gallons

[@dustinkamery6530]

What size is the front tank and pump Where did you buy fuel pumps

These are these part #s for my truck, My front tank is 19 gallon, I bought both from Oreillys Front pump only is - MasterPro Fuel Pump Part #: MPA23000 Line: MPF Rear complete assembly is - Precision Fuel Pump Hanger Assembly Part #: A46087 Line: PFP

Does the fuel gage automatically set itself?
