This is a high quality video. It was exactly what I was looking for thank you for making such detailed video!

[@Moonhhh301]

It's amazing, really help me a lot, thank you!

[@jordanniagara3131]

Fantastic job on this video, you covered every step. I have a recall on mine so the dealer is gonna do it, but I just wanted to see what's involved.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you For checking the video out.

[@pav688]

Iuyiiiiii Ty R I’m You cfcccedggr go redder Hi by b h M coffee facts

[@RBTrujillo1]

I don't own or know anyone (I'm no longer a mechanic for some time) with this type of vehicle. What I found very interesting was the type of specialized tool, in which case you mentioned that this is a "universal tool" for removal of the lock ring for this fuel pump. Most fuel pumps are of the same design? So, this is for the "good to know file" for me. Thanks for the video!

[@stanleyhall2381]

Watching this video just saved me a ton of work. Not going to do this myself; taking it to the dealer for the recall, but the lady at the service desk told me I’d have to remove everything in the back of the vehicle. In my case, that includes a loaded drawer system and fridge slide. Don’t see any need for them to have the back empty. Service lady is mistaken. Had it in to them before. They freaked because of the aftermarket CBI fuel tank skid. I’ll remove the skid for them, because obviously it’s beyond their skill set, but will leave the drawer system in place. Thanks for an excellent, informative video!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Stanley Hall glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching!

[@mountainlife1165]

Great video. About how long did it take to do the whole job? Toyota is now recalling around 700k 2018-2019 4Runner for the fuel pumps that may fail at high speeds. Letters to go out to owners in March 2020.

[@skywalker_0427]

Excellent video. almost same for the 4th gen 4unner, - 2003 - 2009 models

[@ozzstars_cars]

Great job with the vid Brian. Your video should be helpful to anyone having to do this job. Take care -Glen

[@dr-hkkh]

Thanks for you for this valuable informations, I have a Hilux 2012 I made a cut of about 20×20cm above the location of the fuel pump under the rear seat. I think it is good choice for easy replacement but needs to a boldness to cut such a new car

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Hazim Khalil they should have put access door there in the first place😉 thank you for watching!

[@josh1633]

Wow thanks brotha for the video you saved me so much money

[@randallmiller-noaafederal6878]

Absolutely awesome video. Thank you so much for doing this.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you for watching!

[@stevel2407]

This Denso type for Toyota can be rebuilt by just replacing the filter and pump on the plastic assembly

[@VonMillie]

Is that so? My 2013 4Runner needs a new fuel pump so instead of spending 300-600$ on a whole new assembly so I just ordered the electric pump with the strainer for 70$ wish me luck

[@stevel2407]

@@VonMillie yeah man, there are so many tutorials on how to place the pump, if you want to make your life easier get the tool for the retaining ring and a new o-ring , best of luck

[@wolfeadventures]

And the sending unit?

[@TechCrazy]

Great job. I wish you showed us the old fuel pump and filter and how dirty it was. You could also have emptied the gas and poured out all the crud and grime out of the tank since you spent so much effort in removing it. Liked!

[@binaway]

For the 4runner SUV. Remove the back seat bolts (behind a passengers ankle) usually 3, the seat can then be tilted back revealing a panel. Remove using the other end of the wheel nut wrench, crowbar or large screwdriver. The top of the fuel tank pump is revealed.

[@VonMillie]

Does this apply for 5th gen 4Runners?

[@binaway]

Better method. Sit on back seat. Behind your ankles are three plastic moldings. These pop out easily using a screw driver. Remove the bolts. Use a hexagonal socket head only. Don't use a star type socket. The seats will now lift and swing backwards. To get to the fuel pump it will only require the double seat to be lifted but you have more space with both lifted.

[@wolfeadventures]

You can only unplug it from the access panel. Still have to drop the tank.

[@michaelmeyer981]

Thank you very well detailed video, i needed to know how to disconnect the power plug of the fuel pump.

[@MrTeeskee10]

Definitely appreciated and subscribed..doin this job on a 2007 sr5 4runner 4.0 this week..

Thank you very helpful going to use your help on my 2008 4runner

[@KC-wf7qt]

Thanks man! Needed this video badly!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

K C glad the video helped and thank you for watching!

[@MissionOffRoad]

I followed this video very closely but I just replaced the pump and strainer. My FJ Cruiser cranks but won’t start. Is there a final step to purge the fuel lines of air or prime the fuel system? Thanks.

[@nicholasparisi3002]

Brian, Great video, Thank you. Really appreciate your clarity from beginning to end.. I've got an '07 Tacoma 4.0 v6 & can't find a clear video of dropping the gas tank to replace the fuel pump,etc.. Can you give me some direction? It's OK to email me.. Thanks Again

[@LORDRA1DEN]

I love how Toyota saw how their designs made sense, the cars were easy to work on, you could do things like the filter and pump on previous models through the access port under the seat, and someone said, "No on my watch" and screwed up the whole system. Like on my 09 Rav4 I have to do this if I want to change it. I tried changing a wheel bearing and on the previous model the bolts were in front, easily accessible, easy to change. Mine, they put them in the back and without a lift I had no room to do it and wound up taking it to a shop. Or like my Focus: there used to be jackpoints everywhere on earlier Fords, but they decided to get rid of most of them and put a plastic trim under it that blocks hydraulic jacks. Cars are getting better and better, but the design to work on them is getting dumber and dumber. If I ever have a house I'm getting a full lift for the garage.

[@michaeldiaz754]

adam smith just cut a access hole inside your vehicle. Instead of dropping the tank.

[@gordonfreeman5434]

Wow, a fuel pump on a TOYOTA?!!!!! Anyways thanks for the good info and tips brian.

[@wolfeadventures]

Do you know which fuse is for the fuel pump?

[@Usmanthemecano]

Looks like the most difficult part of of this job is figuring out how not to break those vent and fuel line connectors

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Definitely the tough part is not breaking those vent lines.

[@Usmanthemecano]

How to Automotive I long for the day when all manufacturers will agree on a standardized connector design...

[@eugy2008]

Looks easy :-) My 2015 Venza may need a new fuel pressure regulator. Im dradding that the fuel tank will need to be removed.

[@lisafranco3295]

Thank you for a very informative video. I just purchased a used 2015 4Runner and 300 miles from leaving the dealership (dealership was 220 miles from my home) check engine light came on. Took it to the Toyota dealership in my town and it came back with the code PO456. The dealership recommended replacing the EVAP canister. I first replaced the gas cap and cleared codes. Code came back a few days later. My question is when the fuel pump was replaced, could the EVAP canister or hoses been affected when the dealership replaced the fuel pump prior to my purchase? Thank you again.

[@wolfeadventures]

Did you ever figure it out?

[@vettepwr23]

I wonder how similar this is to a fuel pump on the 4th gen. I have a 2008. I need to replace the fuel sending unit.

[@TheJezwick]

Hi Brian, great video, I've followed it through for the FJ cruiser, very similar. Connected everything back up but the vehicle isn't getting any fuel to the engine. I've tried priming by starting but after 10 mins it's still not starting! Any idea what it is?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

TheJezwick need to check to see if there’s power and ground going to the fuel pump. May have a blown fuse. Also look on the dash if it has a security light flashing it will not start. Try a separate key

[@TheJezwick]

Thank you for the response. The fuel pump is working. I'm getting fuel pumping through the blue line (blue connector) but none through the white one. Unless that's a return line? I'm not sure.

[@MissionOffRoad]

TheJezwick Did you find solution? I’m experiencing the exact problem on my FJC.

[@TheJezwick]

@@MissionOffRoad hey! Check out how you put the rubber o-rings properly back on the fuel pump...it should be the plastic spacer then the rubber o-rings. If not, the pressure isn't enough to feed to the engine. That was my issue!

[@MissionOffRoad]

@@TheJezwick You are a lifesaver! I found the o-ring that came with the pump. I installed it and everything works again! Error on my part. Thanks!

[@magyarhobo]

Great and clean Job, Excelent tutorial.

István Szabó thank you!

[@lebronjordan802]

Brian, my question is actually timing belt replacement for Lexus is300 2003. When removed the crankshaft bolt all gears moved, I did 2 full revolutions on the crankshaft bolt and it re-aligned all marks back to TDC. Removed crankshaft pulley, idler and valves cover. Timing belt still in place When I tried to loosen the vvt-i 10mm hex nut while holding the shaft with crescent it moved, now all 3 sprockets (2 cams and crankshaft) are all 1 tooth off...I don't know how to re-align I'm stuck and nervous to move forward! Should I make 1or 2 revolutions on the crankshaft? Can I also remove the timing belt and the cams to replace the cam seals? Or should re-aligned all camshafts and crankshaft first? Please help!!!

[@StraightOuttaRockies]

do you know what color is the power wire for the fuel pump?

[@oscartristan7173]

How much does this cost to get it done at a shop ?

[@b_luuge]

Hey Brian I have a 2006 Tacoma which I think is fairly similar to the 4Runner fuel pump, but the gauge is reading inaccurate even after a OEM fuel pump / sending unit replacement. Any ideas?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Brian Lugo check the wiring harnesses for corrosion. After that I would pull a wiring diagram to see what else in the circuit and if all checks out then the gauge in the dash would be bad.

[@b_luuge]

Cool thank you for the reply!

[@lobbcityyy]

Been having some trouble with my Dakota could use an expert like you for some advice!

[@dave1096]

I just filled up and drove off... not 50ft away my t4r stopped dead. Like a light switch. No sputtering or stumbling, just off. Turns over like a champ, no CEL's nothing flashing...dead. No fuel pump audible. Is there a relay that may be the culprit? I couldn't find one labeled as such. The Delphi price ranges from 400+ to over 700 and the Spectra brand is approx 215$ Any input on one over the other? Thank you kindly Dave BTW....your video quality and flow is the best I've ever seen

[@geralddomnick7721]

Dave, did you ever figure this out? Mine just did the exact same thing. I need to figure out what the problem is before I do something major - like drop the tank in the yard in the middle of winter.

[@mr.vandecar3826]

Mine did this today, I ran out of gas on a hill a few days ago so thought it may be related, did you guys need to replace fuel pump?

[@anytufts4599]

Can someone tell me , should the inside of my car smell like gasoline? I got my recall and they fixed it today but the inside of my car smells like gas .

Hi. My neighbor ask me to get fuel out of his car with a long hose. But now the fuel level stays at half even if he fills it up. Did i damage the float/sensor assembly? 2019 highlander v6.
