[@seecha8970]

Ford engineers decided that the old way required too little labor service. So they got together and figured out how to add an extra 2 hour labor service to replacing a fuel pump.

[@Plumber1111]

Great how to video, they should add a step to drill a hole at the center of the fuel pump and cut a hole for future easy access.

[@mustafaalqaisee]

I did that for my old chevy impala 2011. It was a life saver trick.

[@rich13la1]

Great How-To video , but really , Ford should have given us a access door for this procedure .

Gracias por compartir información saludos desde México 😃🔧🚙👍

Is the fuel pump for 2.0 and v6 engines the same?

[@wrenchinrust4741]

Ummmm correct me if I’m wrong but there is an access panel under the rear driver seat…. Atleast all the videos I watched but this one had one so…… I’m confused now

[@wrenchinrust4741]

In fact…. After doing this exact repair myself…. You can indeed lift the back seat off and there is a rubber insulated access panel so…. 🤷🤷

@@wrenchinrust4741 thanks for reply. Could u see any sort of filtration thing? I m asking because apparently the filter is built into the fuel pump and I m wondering how that can be clanged/ cleaned. Thanks man

[@MrPapakuka]

Older escape's had hole under the seat 2017 did not

[@joshfreebird4960]

Idk if I would be using those jack stands, they got sued for them failing on people 😅

[@BRZY-il9tx]

Crazy how the truck was lifted with a jack and jack stands then all of a sudden it's on a lift

[@enotlife7037]

Guys where is fuel filter on this "car"?

[@Justme19922]

Good question. Apparently is built into the fuel pump

[@enotlife7037]

@@Justme19922 Yes🤦‍♂️ An to replace it needs to take off gas tank.... Wonderful car. Already going sell it as it with this problem.

[@brandonupchurch7628]

Almost no gasoline cars use an external fuel filter anymore, with as clean as modern fuel is and with plastic tanks a sock around the pump is enough for the entire service life of the pump.

@@brandonupchurch7628 sorry, but that isn't true for third world countries.

[@jerrywood963]

This is stupid for ford because 2001 through 2007 is accessible under the back seat .

[@Mr.Moose5000]

Seriously. Ford just couldn't be more stupid.. I bet the engineers were hight at the moment they'd built it

[@dwightdorn8253]

next time get a professional to tell you how to properly remove it!

[@Three60Crusader]

Sub 100 dollar part like the assembly will cost you 700 dollars in labor to replace on 14 escapes and after. Shame on ford

[@anonamos6086]

This process is a joke. Wtf is wrong with Ford?
