Ha ha, a lot of us were shouting at the computer screen! As I recall there was a code for the fuel level sensor at the beginning, in which case he needs that fixed anyway. You're half way there, may as well fix it now. You made good decisions, it was a fun video in any case. Only guys with broad shoulders can poke fun at themselves, you're a good man!

@@themechanic6117 yea I had people bring me their lawn mowers and say it won't start. They leave and I call them right back after putting gas in the tank, many times. Usually I get told to perform standard maintenance items on it. I did at a reduced price for them. Kept them happy.

@BruceLyeg3 жыл бұрын
Doh! Fuel pumps often go out shortly after a blocked or restricted filter is changed. It's because they're working harder and running way too hot for quite awhile before the problem is noticed

@d-anger-noodle3 жыл бұрын
If he was positive that it DID have gas, maybe the repair shop drove all his gas out of the tank while it was there or maybe they spilled a shit ton changing the filter?
@themechanic61173 жыл бұрын
That's a possibility I didn't think of! He seemed baffled because he knows about how many miles per gallon he gets on each fill up. He just couldn't believe it was empty based on his math . So the shop losing some fuel could be a possibility

I had a 2003 pathfinder same issue after replacing the sending unit on mine with a nissan oem I still had issue with the gauge not reading correctly I sent the cluster out to get it check it out come to find out the cluster needed repair after that no issues, and yes I replace the fuel pump with oem since I ran dried so many times before the repair

By the shape of underbody- it appears to be what we'd call around here a "Winter Rat" or a "Beater with a heater". Most of your Customers bring their vehicle in on empty. Why? Do they expect you to add gas? I'm always hearing you complain about that- this one takes the cake!

You can see this LED headlight, is not cool?it is our latest development of a product! In the United States, there are many classic cars, they are our closest partners! Now they may need some upgrades to accompany us better. Replacing and upgrading our headlights does more than making driving safer. They improve the look of your vehicle as well as its performance. LED bulbs have a lower power pull on your vehicle’s battery and system. They also give our vehicle a fresh and new feel with bright white light. I was wondering if you could do a share for it on your KZbin: • Introduction • Overview of features • Actual driving footage with the bulbs • Amazon link on the description for viewers interested in buying the product." Please let me know if this is OK with you. Really looking forward to working with you. Best wish, Nove
