I'm here to help only. I just found out you can cut an access panel from the top and make this job easy. You are a fantastic mechanic. Great Video and great job!!!!

One of the best step-by-step auto repair videos I've seen(and I've seen a bunch)...Thanks Viktor! Nice job. I'm subscribing. Keep up with the Tundra videos.....Thanks.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Thank you very much for the encouragement!

[@tracyhinterman]

THANKS! We watched to learn how to drop the tank. (2017 Tundra SR5 4WD) We followed your steps in order and then reverse. WE DID IT OURSELVES!!! Never thought that repair would be on my resume of life. There was a tiny wear hole on the return fuel line on the bend. Looked like a tiny slice. Probably a chipmunk. But we still took the entire thing apart b/c we didn't know where the leak was. Just that is was spraying gas everywhere! Couldn't have done that without your video.

[@thesuperofhollywood]

Viktor great video But the problem i have, is that my 2013 Tundra is a flex fuel one. The pump is different there is three fuel lines , after dropping the tank the pump housing is very different. That Aeromotive 325 series11565 will not work .i hope this info would help someone in the future. I have pictures if you want them. The pump in the housing is a TI Automotive pump with a part number of F90000239 Thanks Ray

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Yes, the FFV pump setup is totally different. You can use the Ti450 pump, it will be a direct fit. Toyota does not sell flex fuel vehicles in Canada, so, unfortunately, I cannot make a video of that one.

[@thesuperofhollywood]

@@Viktor_G_Automotive Thanks yes that Ti450 looks like the pump i need.Thanks again for your help

[@peterdaniel66]

Viktor.. I had to replace the connector with the four wires and though I havent tried to start it yet as the tank is still on the ground, I was expecting to hear the pump come when the ignition is turned on. I hear nothing.. Double checked the wiring and its wired correctly. Was working just fine when I took the tank out to swap the factory 26 gallon one back in after taking out the transfer flow 46 gallon tank. Checked the fuel pump 25 amp fuse and its fine... Any idea? Thanks! Great video!

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@peterdaniel66 The pump won’t run unless the engine is cranking. Are you selling the Transfer Flow tank? 😀

[@dedricphonxana1489]

do i need to reprogram anything after i replace the fuel pump ?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@dedricphonxana1489 nope

[@tamw528]

Maybe I missed this in the video but why did you drill the holes?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

It was to feed the pump more fuel during 1/4 mile drag races as the fuel pump basket inlet was not large enough for my needs. Definitely not something you would need or want to do on a stock truck.

[@davew7628]

Hey Victor, I watched one of your previous Tundra fuel pump replacement video's. Great video, by the way. You drilled four holes in the bottom of the pump housing (stock pump). You mentioned there was a video for why you did that, I can't find that video. I'm assuming it provides better fuel flow and better efficiency with additional holes in the pump housing itself. The housing only has one small hole, which I'm sure restricts fuel flow. Do you drill those holes only for performance engines or do it to stock Tundras fuel pumps also? Thank you in advance.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@davew7628 hi, that’s only for race applications and making sure the fuel tank is always at least half full. Do not drill holes in the canister on stock trucks :)

[@stephenzies8867]

Awesome Job Viktor 👍 "CHEERS"

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

😃

[@Fishnsurf]

Would I need to reprogram control module after replacing fuel pump with an OEM- "like" drop in? For example a delphi brand pump. It comes as an entire assembly with the white housing

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

There is no ability or need to reprogram any module when replacing the fuel pump.

[@blackwaxx6]

Viktor the video was very informative. I can’t say enough about it. I have to agree it is the best I seen in a very long time. I say it is have a 2021 Tundra with the same issue. Will it follow the same steps as per your video. Is there anything I should be aware of. Thanks again for the great video!!!!

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Thank you David! Yes, the 2021 would be the same procedure. Unless it is a flex fuel, then the pump/canister and fuel line setup is a bit different.

[@blackwaxx6]

Thank you very much for the reply and the video.

[@robertogutierrez3219]

Would you know if that pump is also a direct drop in for a 2018 Tundra?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@robertogutierrez3219 I believe all non-flex fuel pumps are the same.

Hey Viktor! My 2019 trd pro recently has had intermittent misfires (cold start only, random cylinders each time). If I shut the truck off and start it back up the misfires go away. Any tips on what to check for diagnosis? Thanks! Love the videos

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Random/intermittent misfires can be extremely hard to diagnose because there may be so many possible causes. Assuming your truck is stock and not modified with aftermarket components, the first thing I would do is make sure the problem is not fuel quality related. Try filling up at a different gas station for a couple of weeks. If that does not solve it, the other possible trouble areas to check would be: Open or short in engine wire harness Connector connection Vacuum hose connections Ignition system Injector Fuel pressure Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor Compression pressure Valve timing PCV valve and hose PCV hose connections Air induction system ECM If your truck is not stock, that adds another layer of possible causes to it. Best of luck!

[@Brighton_Lal]

@@Viktor_G_Automotive thank you! Truck is stock and I did fill at a "mom and pop" gas station while travelling for the holidays. Just a little concerning for a truck that has never had any issues! Thank again! 🇨🇦

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@Brighton_Lal that very well might be it. Cheers!

[@Mr_getinthere]

Which AEROMOTIVE 325 was that part (11165) or (11565) Thanks advance

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

I’m pretty sure I used the 11165 and it has since been discontinued. If installing in a supercharged truck, I’d go straight to the Walbro Ti 450 (not direct bolt in though).

[@Mr_getinthere]

@@Viktor_G_Automotive no this a stock truck , this pump wont be to much on a stock setup ?.I plan on putting a supercharger one day if I can find a TRD supercharger for nice price

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@Mr_getinthere no, it won’t be too much

[@kevinpilcher2412]

@@Viktor_G_Automotive could you use the 11565 in its place? What pump would you recommend for a stock truck for "OEM" longevity? Looking to put a TransferFlow 42gal tank in my 08 with 175k miles on it and seems like a pertinent time to do a preventative fuel pump replacement. I want reliability and long service life, looking to stay N/A

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@kevinpilcher2412 hi Kevin, I have not used the 11565, but it looks to be the same size as the stock pump, just the wiring harness looks different, so would require some soldering. I’ve had no problems with Aeromotive, but if you want an OEM supplier, Toyota uses Denso and Walbro/Ti pumps. You’d have to contact them to find out which of their pumps is a direct replacement.

Greetings - so my 2008 5.7 Tundra has failed echeck , idiot lights are on dash and error code PO 174 has shown up on my diagnostic scanner - truck runs poorly at times and has a engine knock at times and then it will run smoothly - So is error code PO 174 indicate fuel pump?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Not necessarily. It is a "system too lean on bank 2" code, could be a multitude of different things causing it, including the fuel pump.

[@DariusCharles-iw7ve]

Great video that makes me feel like I could perform this job if i had the lock ring removal tool and a trans jack readily available. In your opinion is this something a somewhat mechanicaly inclined person could do or soley done by the dealer? Also what the price with parts and labor roughly for this type of job? I want to call around and get prices, but I do not want to accept something outrageous?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

You can definitely do it yourself. As far as prices, they will vary depending on your location. They’ll probably charge you around 3 hours labor or thereabouts. I have the lock ring tool linked in the description below the video.

[@DariusCharles-iw7ve]

@@Viktor_G_Automotive thank you man!!!!

[@DariusCharles-iw7ve]

Last question. The dealer should be able to provide me the part without any issues correct? All I need is strainer?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@DariusCharles-iw7ve on some models Toyota only sells the complete pump/canister assembly, on others they can get just the pump. You’d have to check with the dealership parts department with your VIN.

[@Sophie-h5b]

Keep up the good work

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Thanks, will do!

[@firemanstud32]

So is the filter and pump all together?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

The pre-filter/strainer attaches to the pump pickup as shown in the video. The actual filter is built into the white fuel pump holder inside the basket that the pump gets inserted into.

[@rahulchawla958]

Could this be the reason for my extended start? Only starts long the first time of day rest is fine.. changed battery

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@rahulchawla958 I guess it may be possible if it is bleeding down fuel pressure through the check valve in the pump, but without having it tested I can’t guarantee that.

[@YANGNIMOG]

thanks for sharing the video.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Any time!

[@FunnykidsMarcooo]

Can you just lift the bed ?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

On my regular cab short box truck, the fuel pump access is under the cab, so removing the box won't help. On my double cab long box truck, the fuel pump access is under the box, but removing the box is a lot more work than dropping the tank. I don't have a Crewmax or a double cab regular box truck here to compare, but from what I remember, the fuel pump access on those is under the cab as well (I may be wrong though).

[@tundratime941]

No, the fuel pump is under the cab. You wouldn't be able to get it out taking the bed off.
