Thanks. You showed more detail than other videos of the same subject.

[@MidnightRoadGarage]

You're very welcome :)

[@charizardsniper5064]

Thanks for telling use what the other line are for

[@Rickycam1]

The three smaller lines on fuel pump is supply and one return what’s the other one ?

When you need another hand “but all your friends moved to Florida” 🤣😂 I am sure they would drive up and give a hand if you call them next time. Jimmy said to remind you no large calibers on the pistol targets

[@MidnightRoadGarage]

Thats all I use ;)

[@ralphhines7903]

I'm curious as to how you got those nuts for the fuel lines on. I have been trying off and on for three days now. It's like they are binding up and I can only get one hand on them.

[@MidnightRoadGarage]

It wasn't easy and I ended up with bruises on both my shoulders from pressing them against the frame so hard with both arms up there. I could not see them either because my head was turned to the side. So I was sitting on the ground on the drivers side with my legs under the tank with my chest and the tops of my shoulders pressed against the frame. I didn't put any footage of that because there was no room for the camera. With a second person you could possibly have the tank at a better angle. It was not easy for sure.

Is this the 2wd or 4wd? 4.3?

[@MidnightRoadGarage]

It's a K5 not an S10 Blazer :). It's 4wd with a 350 or 5.7.

I can change a fuel pump I need to see how you got the tank out. Nobody ever shows the part people are actually looking for.

[@MidnightRoadGarage]

As I said in the video the tank was already removed when I bought it and that to remove it you basically remove it in the reverse of the install shown in the video. In a nutshell disconnect the gas filler tube which is the big hose and little hose on the tube. Then put a floor jack under the tank to support it and remove the two bolts for the straps. Lower the floor jack and the tank will come with it. The rest of the job deals with the fuel pump which you already know how to do. Thanks!

@@MidnightRoadGarage sorry. I was just frustrated because I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Your video was good. Seems like half of the videos I look for start just past the point I was looking for. Once again I’m sorry for my comment.

[@MidnightRoadGarage]

@@BlueDart1971 all good :). Hopefully you get your K5 back on the road soon

[@BlueDart1971]

@@MidnightRoadGarage just got the tank dropped. A suburban and a truck is soo much easier. I’ll pay next time:)

[@BlueDart1971]

Also I definitely did get some good info from your video.
