Hanes repair manual says you have to remove the tank. Found alot of discrepancies in their book. Video made it look easy. Thanks.

[@chrisseefeldt5652]

Just a friendly suggestion. When crimping the wires together, put the connectors on the new plug first. That way you can do them out in the open instead of a cramped area. also, before removing the old pump, take a vacuum and remove any dirt that has accumulated around the seal so it doesn't fall into the tank. Nice video, anyhow!

I'm too afraid to do this by myself just in case I blow up the car LOL I've got somebody coming this morning to do it

[@sergioc8096]

i replaced the fuel sensor, only issue i ran into was getting the pump to slide all the way in to get black ring to push all the way down to turn, but after pushing and banging it fir awhile worked like a charm.

[@charlesrodriguez852]

[@jacobmcgee7565]

I just changed this out as instructed and my car will start to turn over, but will not turn completely on. The fuel pump is not sending as I removed the fuel line connects and they are bone dry. I didn’t have any trouble getting it started before so I’m not really sure where to go from here. Any help would be great! Thanks!

[@DannyRossa]

good videos and good parts thanks

[@bigdog2864]

To clarify, so that I'm understanding correctly, at the :44 mark, the procedure of just unplugging that relay while engine running, then plugging back in and re-starting the engine should re-set/fix the faulty fuel gauge? My fuel pump is fine, but for several years I've been driving by mileage because the fuel guage is all over the place...When ya fill up, it will almost always go to full, and stay there til what is probably about1/-2/3's tank, then sometimes it'll drop down to empty then jump all the way back over, or anywhere in between. And by the way; thank you SO much for the window regulator vids; especially the newer one....VERY helpful and saved me a buttload of money.

[@1AAuto]

Thank you for watching. This wont always fix the fuel gauge however it is worth a shot. You simply take out the relay and the engine is going to stall. Plug it pack in and restart the vehicle. Please let us know how the repair comes out! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@gamewithgreedo969]

My fuel lines are badly rusted with another winter coming. Whats the best way to go about this using Nylon replacement line? Do I need to run the line all the way to the tank\sending unit in Trunk ? Application is a 2000 Monte Carlo ss

[@eviljoker303]

What I do FIRST is before removing the old fuel pump,is cover the access panel and solder and heat shrink the new connector wires for a weatherproof repair .Don’t use butt connectors where connections might be exposed to moisture .😑

[@mallorycainjr.1921]

I have a question. Will not having the fuel tank ring lock all the way locked in cause a po446 code (Evap)?

[@RetroPCUser]

Fuel gauge on my 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue hasn't worked in 2 years. Got the new sensor, haven't installed it yet and I'll wait until the trip says 150 miles before I actually replace it. I replaced the fuel pressure sensor back in June since the old one was acting funny and caused my car to stall out constantly (car's computer thought there was 0 PSI).

[@ravenswolf57]

This is extremely helpful, I have to drain about 1,5 to 2 gallons of DIESLE Fuel from the tank of an 05 and I am using the Pump. Cycling between on and acc untill the purgeing line I attached to the Schrader Valve is not pumping anything . I plan to use 92 octane about 5 gallons and 1 capful of A1 CLEAr Kero to HOPEFULLY clean out the whole system after pulling the Plugs and replacing them. I am also going to wait till I smell GASOLINe in the Fuel rail. Wish me luck. Oh any other tricks will help Last resort is to have to accessing he Tank via the Pump. UGH! I will wait on an answer. before proceeding.

[@hendriixx.7469]

I was trying this up to the point of removing the fuel lines but when i removed mine, I got sprayed with gas. I purged the system before hand. I had maybe a half tank of gas in though. Does that effect anything?

I'm good all the way up to taking that post off so I can plug in the new connector. Mine is not corroded at ALL. Guess I'll figure something out

[@MrTomasmartinez]

I have a 1997 Chevy Monte Carlo Z34. On my dash the Fuel gauge is stuck on Full so I don't know how much gas I have in my tank. Do I need to change the whole Fuel Pump sending unit or a Relay ? Thanks for a reply.

having trouble removing the center or middle fuel line how do I take it off

Will you do a lifter video

[@jimk351]

Shouldn't you use a brass punch to remove the mounting ring? The metal screwdriver could spark.

[@raiderman28]
