How to Replace Your Fuel Pump in Less than 30 Minutes* | 1995 Ford F150

In this video, I show you how to replace a fuel pump assembly in less than 45 minutes. I don’t remove the bed of the truck or drain the tank and drop it. I cut an access hatch in the bed to reach the pump. After that, you simple unscrew the pump retenton ring, pull the bad pump out, and insert the new fuel pump.
* Fuel pump can be replqced in less than 30 minutes with access hatch. Times my vary based on skill level, preparedness, and available parts and tools.

While you are in on that switch in the cab just cut one of the wires to it (ground is good) and put another on-off switch inline. Hide that switch somewhere and now ya have an anti-theft device. The engine will still crank but since no fuel can get to it - it WON'T start. Love your videos!

[@Bouldergoat]

I’ve been wondering where to put one. Great idea!

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Ah! This is a good idea!

[@Cherokee93]

Or go under the hood and cut the ignition wire and run it to a switch

[@markcollins457]

About 10yrs ago i had the service station give me a eye watering price to replace my fuel pump and this was my answer to this same issue and it worked fine and took about 2hrs. The truck is a 97 Ranger that i still own. Great job.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Nice! I’m glad you are bought into the hatch idea. It definitely gets some hate. Lol

[@markcollins457]

@TheMinuteMasters Yes there are many out there willing to remove the truck bed or drop the gas tank for a large fee. But I don't subscribe to there thinking and my little 10x10 patch in the bed worked flawlessly and was "CHEAP".

Yea, my ‘97 F250 HD has the same “problem” Running late…? Can’t find keys…? Oh well! LOL

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

A couple things I do differently on these is tap the inertia switch with the screwdriver handle to trip it, which also shows It still works as designed. Making a hatch is a good idea, especially in an area where the bed bolts might be rusting a bit. In the shop we lift off the bed or drop the tank using a transmission jack, but not everyone has that luxury...if that's the right word. lol Nice work.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Good point about the inertia switch. Yes, a lift would be super nice. Thanks Jimmy!🤙

[@dennistolley7253]

Yes I did it the hardway. When my bottom straps came loose I found a leak in the tank on each side. So I got new Dorman steel tank and the new pump assembly. What I really appreciated was matching the wires up with the pigtail to the engine whip. My pump assembly did not have wiring instructions. My tank due in tomorrow so we wait. If you hear a loud conconsion/bang you'll know I screwed up somewhere. Fingers crossed. Thanks much

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Well that’s a good start. The wiring was definitely tricky when I first did this. Not sure why it doesn’t come pre-wired.

[@TheFoxShop]

I've done this a few times...on these years ford trucks... dropping the tanks is not hard.. come down easily.. even full.. Use a floor jack... not cutting a hole in my truck beds lol.. I've seen a lot of people do this, and to reach their own... No hate.. And understand if the tank is clear full...heavy yes... but good time to clean it all up, maybe even replace em... they don't cost much.. i have a 1993 in replacing the clutch on... Rear tank leaks.. gonna just replace everything.. it's not hard. Time consuming maybe.. and if your daily driver... still... Literally 4 nuts you have to take off... Remove the straps.. Take the tank down.. personally... cutting into the floor above the gas tank... sparks... i don't wanna go BOOM! 💥😮.. im subscribing, just found your channel... Like i said, not hating, but just drop the tank and don't cut holes in the truck bed... just my opinion 😂... what brand pump did you use?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Honestly, I agree with you 100%. I don’t think this is the bed. I’ll keep long-term and when this truck gets real nice, I probably won’t have a hatch there. Jon, your truck is so nice I would never think of cutting any holes in the bed. It’s a spectra brand I bought off Amazon .

[@fernandoamestoy]

Thank you very much for your video! It helped me a lot, at this moment I have the same fuel pump that you are installing, do you know if it is the same one for the rear tank? Thank you

[@TheMinuteMasters]

You’re welcome! I’m not sure. You can always look up the rear fuel pump and then compare the part number to the front pump.

[@knotandtie]

what are your measurments from the top of the bed to the cut for the hatch? please and thanks.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I can’t remember exactly. I think it was 10 inches from the back of the bed and the. I counted the number of ribs in the bottom of the bed to find center. On another note, I typically don’t give people measurements because I found out that the fuel tanks are not installed all the same. They can be a couple inches forward backward from truck to truck.

[@STR8SICCC]

That's a bigger access hole than I expected, but it looks like you need all that space.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Originally, the whole was smaller. I waited it because it’s better to have more room for maneuvering the pump.

[@STR8SICCC]

@@TheMinuteMasters what are the dimensions of that panel? I'm thinking about doing this after I was left stranded.

[@adrianarroyo6490]

I have a solid red, solid black, solid orange and a green with a yellow strip on the original wire harness on the truck. What color wire on the the after market fuel pump harness connect to? 1995 ford f-150 XLT.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

If you watch the wiring segment toward the end, I tell you what color connects to the other color. I don’t have that much for a visual on that though.

[@MapleMarmite]

Great tutorial. Wish I had cut the hatch in my bed before I built the camper in the back. I think I can figure out where it needs to go from taking a screenshot on your video. Hopefully that ends up being in the open centre ‘aisle’ of the camper set up. That way I can take the flooring up, cut the liner and then the floor. Probably have to use a jigsaw or recip saw on it with a short blade and a piece of wood to stop the blade hitting anything on the top of the tank, can’t imagine there’s much clearance there. A couple of inches you think? 👍🏻

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks man!🤙 I located my hatch by going under the bed and roughly figuring some measurements from the underside. I transferred those to the inside of the bed. Yeah is a great mod for anyone with a lot of stuff in the bed they don’t want to removed for repairs. I used an angle grinder and a piece of drywall. I think there’s 1.5 inches to the hoses and 2 to the tank. But it’s also worth going under the bed and measuring the clearance to be sure.

[@HeavyHiitter]

Fantastic video. Can you tell me how far the 1st and 2nd cuts are from the front of the bed and the side of the bed? I want to cut out a the proper square the first time.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I believe the first cut from the backside of the bed was around 10 inches but you’ll need to go under your truck and look for yourself because I found out that not all fuel tanks are strapped in the same same location. As for a measurement from the side of the bed, I actually counted over the number of ridges and then made my cut .

[@HeavyHiitter]

@@TheMinuteMasters okay, thanks. I'll measure it myself and do it then. Also glad I saw your other video and now I know that I have to be careful not to cut the fuel lines underneath.

[@saywhat6768]

Nice video. Question on fuel selector. Does the truck need to be off when selecting between front and rear? Can it damage the pumps when switching while driving?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks man!🤙. Not sure if any damages would be caused. I’ve definitely switched them while driving.

Hello, you showed the wire setup on the front tank. But do you remember the wire hook up on the rear tank? The rear tank wires don't have a red wire, on my Dads 1994 Ford F150. We put the wires together like the front but the pump want come on, so I'm thinking might have something wired wrong lol. Front one works great. Thanks Mark

[@TheMinuteMasters]

The previous owner replaced the pump in the rear tank. So I don’t know how that one is wired. A Haynes manual or Chiltons guide may have a wiring diagram.

[@driski90]

Ive got a 95 F150 4.9. Changed the fuel pump but didnt get any fuel to the rail. I wired it by your recommendation. Thought maybe the pump was defective because it was unwrapped in the box and after install, my fuel gage dropped to E even though its 3/4 full. Installed another new one and same results. Any ideas?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

It might be worth looking at a wiring diagram just to make sure the wiring is the same from my truck to yours. I don’t see why there would be a difference, but you never know. Also are all the fuses and relays for the fuel system working?

[@driski90]

@@TheMinuteMasters our wires are the same. The new pump came with a guide with several wiring ideas but none matched our color wires. I see other videos with a blue wire but I think that's for duel tanks I've tested all relays and fuses and they are all good. I just don't get it. .

[@zeyad.alkhaldi2837]

[@TheMinuteMasters]

That’s what I like to hear!

[@thomas4315]

You should add don't cut the rubber hose, seen a guy here do that. I got half way cut the hole crack the cover but found out the a tool couldn't get it off. The reason why don't cut the hose is the pump flange is not to keep a clamp on but used as a hose stop from going in too far. A rubber hose will shrink in yr and the very fuel pressure could pull out that clamp w/ out a flange to stop it. That why I didn't cut mine but took it to the dealer. But that cut under the van works great. It was my biggest fear stranded .

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Right! Good point! I would never think to cut the hoses.

[@thomas4315]

Yea, for that back years mechanic. I've got a 94 ford van. If you still got your herea few tips to make it feel like brand new. change your throttle postion and or cleans your crank shaft sensor. Last week wow big diffrent in throttle response & mpg. Tiny smooth throttle in normal driving like the new stang. 1-2 st no bang, the shift missing into 2 th even with heavy throttle surprised on that, recovered morning choke 1/ minute high ide then lower than before idle. On the ford 351 lift the two intake hose, by taking off the intake box and let it go higher. Why? It the same as advanced the distributor. You gain better low end torque, adjust it heights custom torque. It perfect now as that 1-2 shift longer shift is non existence. Hard to guess when it's shift by Engine sound only.

For the pickups, it’s probably not a problem. However, if cutting a hatch in a Bronco, where the hole is inside the cab, a gasket of some sort would probably be a good idea to keep noise, water and critters out.
