2005... Ford Focus 2.0 ZX4 SE Fuel Pump Install. Not as hard to do as you think.

[@PsychoticBedroomRecordings]

Thank you for having the most clear and explanative video on KZbin of how to do this the correct way.

[@gleamsongbladestriker464]

This video helped me a lot. I did find it was easier to remove the rear passenger tire to get the two hose clamps off

[@dannyprice7087]

I cut a service hole under the back seat to access the pump. I then made a cover and attached weather stripping around the perimeter. I secured it with self tapping metal screws. Great job I must say!

[@FixingWithPassion]

Nice!

[@parkers7009]

I’m going to try this. What did you use to cut the hole to avoid sparks? Thanks

[@davedempsey5282]

Every german car I ever had used an access panel back there, makes this a half hour job you can do in the rain. I'm going to cut an access panel, map the cut out piece on some sheet metal, bolt them together. Change the fuel pump, coat the bottom of the circle with silicone gasket goop, stick it back over the hole, then screw it down with self tappers.

[@charliedontsurf3294]

​@@parkers7009 A year too late. But I used a 5/8 hole drill to punch holes easy, then used a normal drillbit to widen them out. It ends up sharp and nasty, but. I had no sparks and didn't run the risk of driving a Dremel or angle grinder into the fuel tank below. Hope this helps someone else who's muffler was 1/2 inch to far over to drop the fuel tank.

[@billrau2398]

Once the gas tank is removed & out of the way I’m going to go ahead and cut an access hole on the floor pan of the backseat for future replacement 👍🏽

[@FixingWithPassion]

Great idea

[@LA_Commander]

Also don't forget to install a new fuel filter to help protect your new pump and help it last longer. A very cheap an easy thing to do, especially with the tank down.

[@FixingWithPassion]

Right on man!~

[@PathToProsper209]

The fuel filter is after the fuel pump on these cars . “Correction there is an additional fuel filter after the fuel pump”

[@LA_Commander]

@@PathToProsper209 There is only one fuel filter and it is in the fuel line after the pump

[@boxfox2945]

Now your gas tank is full of rust and dirt, where you didn't blow all the crud off before taking ring and pump out. Always good idea to use air hose first.

[@onlycodered]

Awesome video! Appreciate the time you spent on making this.

[@FixingWithPassion]

Thanks man!

[@carriep7812]

This is great, thank you. It's thorough, clear, and just a great video in general! Thanks for posting it. One question though, what's an ersha (sp?) switch?

Inertia switch senses a collision and disable the fuel pump .

Hi so my 2005 Ford Focus (looks exactly like the one in this video) recently broke down. I was driving and it suddenly lost power and when I pulled over it just didn’t want to start. I waited a bit then tried to turn it on again but then heard the sound of some thing spilling on the ground. I stop what I’m doing look under the car and on the back right the side you put the gas in,all my gas was just pouring out. Can you give me an idea of what the heck happened 😅

[@FixingWithPassion]

It still brokie??

[@drufreeman5906]

It’s possible that one of the clips that held the hose on the fuel filter failed. They are cheap brittle plastic. If a twig or branch was to hit it at the right angle and speed I betcha it could rip an old one under the stress. I would start looking there first.

[@leongrayson5098]

@@FixingWithPassion yes haha but found the issue and already fixing it :). It was a hose clip that failed and little by little the hose came loose and popped off

[@leongrayson5098]

@@drufreeman5906 yeah you’re right haha was able to get the gas tank lowered and sure enough the hose had popped off and it was because the clip had broken off and wasn’t holding it in place anymore. Thanks when I saw the comments I looked at that first and sure enough it was that 😁

[@radekw708]

@@blazedwolf82 Mine is at 172k miles.. no issues. I only drive it in the winter and less 10k miles a year so probably won't have that issue anytime soon. I fill up early too as the pump works harder when the tank is empty. On the other hand the a/c has issues and battery goes more often from standing all summer. I got a trickle charger now for battery and the A/C I'll have to get a new compressor its leaking, last time was the dryer. I hear bearings also go from car standing :/

[@joseplayer2144]

Why didn't you just put the hoses back in the way you took them off, with the tank down?

[@FixingWithPassion]

They were very short hoses. When the tank was off the hoses would not reach back to the tank, only when the tank was up they would reach.
