Finally! Someone doing them both at once. Or at least, showing how to deal with the hoses. THANK YOU!

[@pedroveliz4131]

Thanks so much for the video. May your family have an awesome thanksgiving.

[@underourrock]

Very helpful video! After a fill up my Magnum is showing 5/8's of a tank. I believe the gauge is good as the self test goes up to 3/4's as I've seen others do (hold the trip rest switch, turn vehicle to on but don't start initiates a gauge test.) I see a fuel pump and secondary in my future. It'll take me to much time to do all of that I might as well have 2 new units. I'll be sure to buy some extra orings too. You saved a lot of people a lot of hassle figuring this all out!

[@thechampion9525]

​@@Distractor_Beam hello how are you I just replace my sending fuel filter also I bought the fuel pump but when put everything back it wasnt started on ..cause the fuel pump wasn't working I take out and tested direct to the battery and it was working so the problem was in the power wires so after lots of headaches I ended taking the out the new fuel pump motor and put in the old pump cause the old pump it was working .. so the problem was the new pump it doesn't compatible but I ordered on eBay and pump was exactly same as my older one .. so what was the problem then ? I read about fuel pumps need to be compatible with the tank size or gallons capacity maybe that's the problem ?

[@distractor_beamreviews]

@@thechampion9525 I don't know for sure. If it's the exact same pump then it should work. My first thought would be that there was a bad connection. Did you hear the pump turn on when you turned the key to the on position? My second thought is it's a bad part. It may even sound like it's running, but if they forgot to install something, or cracked a housing, then it won't pump.

[@thechampion9525]

@@distractor_beamreviews thanks for the reply and not when. I turn on the key the pump was not working at all .. the reason I bought the new pump was because my gas gauge indicator was acting random so I thought about the floating device from the pump .. so I ended up putting back the old pump but I removed the new motor from the new one and put in into the old one .

It's actually a pressure regulator, filter and fuel leveler and fuel sending unit for the gauge all in one. It's NOT a pump like everyone says. I just replaced my main pump and my gauge is still way off. Trying to determine if I want to replace that passenger side just to bring the gauge back in calibration :(

[@jovannirodriguez2619]

so when you had the long crank issue did the car start up after you cranked it long enough and if so did the car stay running or did you have to feed it gas to stay running? Can you please write back to me as soon as possible because I have two long crank my car and then when it starts I have to keep my foot on the gas if I let my foot off it will cut off so I'm wondering if the sending unit could be the problem...

[@jovannirodriguez2619]

If the sending unit is not the problem can you give me some advice because I've already changed the throttle body and sensors and also had to put the EGR valve gasket that little blue gasket that was broken behind the intake.

How long does it take before the check engine light goes off after u do the repair...bc mines still on???

[@Distractor_Beam]

It typically goes away within 20 miles. It is possible that you may have to manually clear it, either with an OBD-II device, or by disconnecting the battery with the headlights and key to on for about 30 minutes. After that you'll have to perform a driving cycle. justsmogs.com/2014/01/chrysler-dodge-drive-cycle-procedures-to-complete-obd-readiness-monitors/ It is also possible that the check light is unrelated.

Hey brother I hope you see this cuz I have a question for you how was your car performing that made you aware of the problem where there was a problem because I already replaced the left side fuel pump in my car and I'm still having issues and I don't want to replace the part if it doesn't need to be so if you could explain to me how your car was acting might give me some insight Usher to see this comment but hopefully you do

[@Distractor_Beam]

The check valve on a vehicle keeps fuel in the line and up to the engine. When the check valve goes bad it allows fuel to drain from the engine, back into the tank. I had a problem where after the car sat overnight, it would crank for quite a while before it started. This car doesn't have an independent check valve. It's in the sender unit.

I have a 2009 dodge avenger it only has extended crank problem once or twice a day so could this be the problem with my car??

[@Distractor_Beam]

If it occurs only after letting the car sit for a while, then this is likely the issue. If you can let the car sit for a long time and it starts right up, this is probably not the issue.

[@mintheman1]

@@Distractor_Beam so I would have to replace the one on the passenger side or both?

[@Distractor_Beam]

The drivers side is the fuel pump itself. If your car runs, then this one you don't have to replace.

[@YoungPrincinho]

I changed both of my fuel pumps and I sill have the engine light and the code 0462. Do you know why ?

[@Gexxon]

It thinks you have more gas in the tank than it is suppose to, or rather your ECM has detected an incorrect fuel level reading in the tank from the leveling sensor. Who replaced it? I hope they didn't bend that arm on the sensor(s) and were they brand new. Also....When you replaced the two new pumps did you clear out the code and then drive it for a bit, to see if it came back? That's all it may need if you haven't done so. Scanners are cheap nowadays. Try to clear the code and see if it comes back.

[@ambleschmit8911]

I would check the fuel pump relay, and the fuel pump fuse. Next I would check the fuel gauge solder point behind the instrument cluster (much easier than it sounds). If all those checks pass, I would next check my credit score.

[@79PrymeTyme]

Will this fix my problem with my Magnum? Every time I fill the gas tank, it'll stall and cut off. After a few times of cutting on and off, it's fine like nothing happened.

[@miguelreyna-ux1sn]

Did you do the rewiring bro?

[@str8hood830]

So did you just replace the fuel sending unit or did you replace the fuel pump as well? I think you just replaced the sending unit and if so, how did you know that it was just the sending unit and not the pump? Took mine to a shop and they said it was the pump. And can you really blow the car up by not connecting something right. Not talking about smoking while working on it lol

[@Distractor_Beam]

I only replaced the sending unit. On other cars, a check valve keeps fuel in the line on the way to the motor so it doesn't flow back into the tank. I guessed that that was part of the sending unit. I sometimes exaggerate consequences. I'm the type of person that will get pulled over if I drive 1 mile per hour over the speed limit. In my head I always see the worst possible outcome if I make a mistake.

Distractor_Beam Cool, thanks. I have a 2007 Magnum SXT with the 6 cylinder. It has 127,000 miles on it, but I let it sit for almost a year and have to crank on it before she’ll fire. Filled up a tank with 91 and still the same thing, so it’s not aged fuel.

[@Distractor_Beam]

@@harleyhoracio1 One thing I did was turn the key to the on position (Not start) and wait 5 to 10 seconds. Then, turn it off, and back to on. Wait 5 to 10 seconds, and then start. That would allow the pump to fill up the line to the engine. It would always start right up after that procedure. That might help diagnose your issue.

@@Distractor_Beam I replaced both regulator and pump but its still not cranking and doing the long crank, What else could it be?

I'd check for damage, or gaps in the fuel line going up to the engine. It may be good enough to run, but when it sits, the fuel has enough room to evaporate. You'd probably smell gas while driving if this was the case, but it'd be worth checking.

[@Distractor_Beam]

That makes more sense. My first thought is that the unit that was installed is faulty. It's also possible that the float sensor was damaged during install. You can pull it out and see if anything's bent, but you'll probably end up needing to buy another one. There is a small chance that clearing the code with an OBD reader will work. It is likely that it will come back.

Changed both fuel pump still no crank ,? Any heko

[@Gexxon]

No crank or no start? Two entirely different problems. Which is it or is it both? A No start condition means it's cranks but will not fire up and run, and thats an issue that is usually fuel related. If it is cranking but not starting, and you changed both fuel pump/sending units, then that means either you got a bad pump(s) (if it they were cheap ones, non-mopar) or the pumps are good but the issue is with either a bad Fuel pump Relay switch or Fuel pump fuse is blown. (both are very inexpensive) A NO CRANK conditions means that you have either an IGNITION issue or a Starter issue. (Check fuses and relays for both) Always check all relays and fuses before anything else. Also use a scanner to see what comes up. They're cheap.
