Good on ya for showing the bloopers. Surely would happen to more folks if not careful. Saved some interiors!

[@fr3dfixit945]

Excellent work sir! Great clarity, narration was clear and uncluttered, and you were courageous enough to allow others to learn from mistakes. Thank you!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Glad you like the video. Thanks for watching!

[@chrispolobatangueno3667]

This is would be a helpful video to my mazda tribute 2004. I’ll save this video for future reference. Only difference is the fuel filter fuel line connector. I’ve changed my fuel filter twice already( every 2 yrs since i got the tribute) and it’s pain in the ass to disconnect due to a different type of fuel line connector. I even bought fuel line disconnect tool but it doesn’t work well due to aftermarket fuel filterbad design ( the hose connector is too close to the filter body when connected which prevents the your tool to fit and becomes useless ) wish I can convert it to that kind of fuel line connector. Great video bro. Thank you

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Chris Esguerra Does quick connect fuel lines are a pain. Hopefully never have to change the pump. Thanks for watching!

Great video, great pace, thank you

[@sirsweetness8332]

You love vehicles with the access panel.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I like them a lot better then dropping the tank that’s for sure.

Thank you for the video. A friend has a 2006 ford escape hybrid 2.3. The vehicle was parked for sometime. He is attempting to get it to start. He replaced the small battery (under the hood). He also pushed the hybrid battery charging button (next to driver door) while using jumping cables that he connected between the smaller battery of the car and another vehicle ( to avoid weakening the smaller battery). The hybrid charging cycle lasts for about 6-8 min, the light of the button starts to flash, he turns the ignition on, all lights on dash board come on, there is a weak crank that lasts for about 2-3 seconds, but the car does not start. The Lights as well as the AC , etc inside the car come on. Someone suggested it is the fuel pump that is causing the car not to start. When he turns the ignition on, he does not hear sounds coming from the fuel pump area. My questions to you are: 1) What do you think the issue is based on the information given. 2) If the issue is the fuel pump, can he still start the car by bypassing the fuel pump just to get the engine to run even for a short period of time to get the fluids of the car to circulate? What does he need to do to get the car to start? He hopes he can get the car to start so he can drive it to a mechanic shop which is about 2-3 miles away. Any simple suggestions or recommendations to help him get the car to start? He is trying to get it to start as I am writing this comment. 🙂 Thank you

My '07 6 cyl Escape sometimes runs rough or chugs when idling and accelerating. Replacing plugs and fuel filter did not help. Could it be fuel pump (so far it's not whining)?

[@kenleckie2359]

Tip if you can't get that 5.5 inch nut to start put it in boiling water for a few minutes then you won't swear any more trust me it works like a charm you're gonna thank me !!!

[@katiegraham80]

Hi, when we did this all the O rings fell out from the hose. Do you know what order they go back in please?

[@domtoretto5445]

What if I don’t have the last piece on my vehicle? That blue ring, Or whatever color it is, the nut you guys called it.

[@shawnthompson3059]

This should be titled how to change fuel pump assembly. The pump itself is a part of the assembly and much cheaper than the entire assembly

[@memphisreines4058]

My 2005 tribute is stalling out just like you unplug the censor on the gas pump, do you think is the censor?

[@recordstreetband6187]

My fuel pump isn't anything like that one. I've changed many, and the on the video is a standard fuel pump. My fuel pump doesn't have the two legs. The fuel pump on my vehicle is attached to the bottom of the tank, though I removed the upper half from the inside of the vehicle. I'm at a loss. In other words, my fuel pump is in two pieces. Ok, I figured it out. In some vehicles, the fuel pump will come in two pieces attached by three wires and a hose to the lid. The wires will be red, blue and grey in color. The fuel pump will have two tabs, opposite of each other. Press in the tabs together at the same time or individually and out it will come. Going back, the bottom portion will just snap back into place and proceed with installing the upper half the same way you removed it, but backwards..

[@Lamar7UpTownsell]

i thank you for your heart.

[@LouieMiranda]

Is the 3.0 v6 engine fuel pump can it be used on a 2.0 engine?

[@chazzy3726]

Is this the same for a mercury mariner?

[@mr.a9647]

My Mazda has 230k miles and the mpg is very bad. Will doing this improve my mpg?

[@Lamar7UpTownsell]

awesome a new video.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Lamar7Up Townsell thank you!

[@Endurolyfe94]

What if I can’t start my vehicle ? Can I just disconnect the pump?

[@AC-gu7rg]

I'm trying to locate the fuel filter on my 2011 mazda tribute 2.5 liter engine it's not right out in the open, I've been searching for a while ,

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I’m pretty sure it’s built into the fuel pump and not really a service item

[@AC-gu7rg]

I thank you for getting back to me, I just noticed 2 boxes in the video and he only opened one to my knowledge ! Thanks again

[@davidcat1455]

I have just spent three hours of my life that I will never get back trying to screw the plastic collar that holds the fuel pump in the tank. All it will do is cross thread no matter how careful I am no matter how many times I try it no matter if I get somebody else to hold the pump down while I try and screw it on it will only cross thread. Anybody got any suggestions?

[@ozzstars_cars]

I try to escape from working on any Escape. 😉

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I tribute that to good reasons👍

[@antonioking2382]

I replaced the fuel pump and my fuel gauge is reading wrong ?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Either got bent or is holding the float. You’ll need to go back in and re-check

[@hiker64]

How long did the interior smell like gas after that? :)

[@boomerguy9935]

It's a good idea to do this in a well vented area PLUS have some fans blowing the fumes away. Make sure there are no electrical switches nearby that could possibly spark.

[@rjb6327]

I bet the inside of that Ford really smelt good after you were done. Play hell getting gas smell out of the seats.

[@Account-qi6ek]

Whats it like to support a system of individuals who treat life as a game all while torturing a targeted individual? You people are evil and sadly this is apparently the entire world. This shit is planned out for years before the victims is even fully aware of having no free will or true reality, you should be ashamed of yourself. Same people different face and this is what I assume to be something done since the dawn of time. I hope you all get what you deserve, but sadly life isn't fate and that's a fact that you learn after becoming aware of this sick shit your entire life.

[@Account-qi6ek]

@@hiker64 and these people sure are passionate about using targeted sensitized torture techniques against a chosen victim.

[@hiker64]

@@Account-qi6ek Dude, what are you talking about? You posted your rant on a video about replacing a fuel pump in a Ford vehicle.

[@mirage711]

Thanks for the video but your not working on my car. Your a little bit to messy for me. Dude the back seats should have all been covered. And the back of the front seats also. But that's just me.

[@isoSw1fty]

They were covered all right
