You are a king amongst royalty, sir! Thanks to your guidance, my wife and I can get to work again and stop struggling to find transportation. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and share your time, skills and knowledge. You didn't just help get a 2000 Buick LeSabre working again. You helped a family in an extremely stressed time of need.
Four dislikes? Really? Good video 🎥 i think. What i like the most is you showed where you jack the back of the car up. I don't see that in many videos. Great video.
One trick you can do is remove the fuse for the fuel pump, and start the engine. Let it run until the engine starves for fuel, and stalls. Then remove the filter with slightly less mess. This typically works with other platforms so I think it should be feasible with the lesabre.
I watched another video that said remove the fuel pump fuse then turn the ignition a few times to release pressure. There's also a Schrader valve on top of the engine like a bicycle tire valve and poke it with a screwdriver to release the pressure.
Yea I didn’t have pressure in the line this was just fuel sitting in the line. Which there’s nothing really I can do about that. Thanks for the comment, please consider subscribing
You can deff do it yourself. It’s very easy! Just be careful to put somethjng your catch the fuel pouring out. Other then that your good to go. Check back with us when u get it done!
To stop your car from stalling when you start the car up, turn the key from off to on a few times to prime the fuel pump, it pressurizes the fuel lines a bit.
@@shirtshot7975 that will help to pressurize the line yes. But often times u still have a pocket of air before the injectors and it hesitates to start which is completly normal. Thanks for the comment please consider subscribing and checking out our other content
Good instructions except major saftey problem use jack stands chalk blocks for keeping the car in the air don't trust that jack with your life the extra five minutes it takes to set them up is worth your time

You’re 100% right! This was addressed in previous comment. We will work on better safety measures in future videos. Thank you and please consider subscribing.
Do you have any idea what the black box is with the metal cage around it that sits right next to the fuel filter? I have a break leak and im trying to find it and figure out what the black box is. Thank you for any insight!
There’s a few symptoms that would warrant this change, low fuel pressure, stalling engine, bad acceleration, just to name a few. I changed mine as I didn’t drive the car much and was doing a complete tune up and fresh everything on the car. Plugs wires, fuel filter, oil, brakes, tires etc. just wanted to freshen everything up and keep it in top condition. Thank you for the comment, please consider subscribing
My buick started running bad like its spitting and sputtering, it only has 80,000 miles. Only thing I have done to it was replace the fuel pump. I got a cheap one off ebay. It's constantly running. I couldn't afford a 350 one. If it gets to a quarter tank it spits and sputters. But now it does it at stop,once going its ok...any suggestions sir?
Well I would never recxomend buying a off brand fuel pump. But I would check into the fuel filter which is cheap to replace. But other then I would save up to eventually replace that fuel pump to something better.
Leaking from both sides of the fuel filter? Is this an old one or after installing a new filter? If it’s old and leaking, replace it ,the connectors are prolly just shot or loose. Try that.
Is this something you should do on an empty tank? I don’t want to lose a ton of gas when I take it off. Or does it have parts that keep the gas tank and the fuel filter connections separate?
There will be fuel in the lines but it won’t drain the entire tank. U can see in the video a small amount of fuel came out. You don’t have to do anything extra.
I’m not sure but I couldn’t see how it would be that much different. U can check the fuel line size which is most likely the same before u make your purchase.
I’m not sure but I would say yes. Most cars are located there and a lot of the more newer cars the fuel is build into the pump and that’s only accessible from the top of the tank. Check back with us when u get it replaced. Thanks for the comment, please consider subscribing
My fuel line kept draining and im having to stop the job. Do you have to pinch the fuel line off so that the excess stops draining?? Otherwise youre just draining fuel!
@@J_a_k_e388 if u do it as shown you wouldn’t have that issue. But yes some fuel will come out as u see in video. It shouldn’t be “excessive” but no I didn’t pinch the fuel line. If u take the line off towards the front of the car the rest should go back into the tank. By any chance do you have the car on? Like keys in ignition turned on cause that would keep the fuel pump running.
Hi there. Nothing was on. Pardon me please, but I did do literally exactly what the video said. I waited around a half hour and the amount of fuel drained to about half the depth of the drip pan. I even called Christian Bros and the gentleman said the only way to get it to not drain was to plug the fuel line somehow. I mean, at that point, won't fuel be spilling everywhere due to the pressure? I do appreciate the help, I do. Simply put, this hasn't worked for me. These are the steps I took, please correct if it is wrong. 1. Lift car. (turned off and no keys in ignition). 2. Grab wrenches to loosen nut around fuel line next to filter to drain. (I ended up using PB Blaster due to rusted nut. I did get the leak to stop by retightening the nut.) 3. Let fuel drain until it stops. (didn't stop). 4. Take off fuel line and drain filter. 5. Unclip and remove filter. 6. Clip new filter and and reverse process. 7. Check for leaks. @@The_Rev_Room
@@J_a_k_e388 yes only thing I would add is connect the filter from the tank side first. That would have helped maybe. But I’m still unsure why fuel continued to come out. Sorry you couldn’t get the job done but as soon as I disconnected the filter I would have swapped it quick at the point. Still tring to figure out how ur issue came about and I haven’t a clue. Thanks for reaching out and commenting. Please consider subscribing and checking out the other Buick videos we have posted as well.
I’m not sure exactly as I haven’t worked on one of those. But most cars are similiar procedures for this part. Or they are above the fuel tank but ur car is older should be under like this car.
If you back the car up onto ramps, the fuel will endlessly spew from the flexible line sign. Would not recommend using ramps if ya don't have to. Gravity sucks
I just used a Jack and make things simple. Ramps are great for oil changes and such but not for this job. Thanks for the comment, please consider subscribing.
Jack stands would be a good idea. But if god forbid the car fell off the Jack it would land on the tires. U can deff do this install without jacking up the car but for me to set up a camera and show you how it makes it more difficult. Thanks for the comment please consider subscribing and checking out our other content
I agree, F that guy! But seriously it’s deff best practice to put Jack stands when lifting a vehicle. Sometimes we don’t always follow all the rules especially for safety, when we are just tring to get the job done. No excuses, use a Jack stand!
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that. And on a cheap Harbor Freight aluminum jack at that. Mine twisted the first time I picked up the back of my LeSabre. Get some jackstands so you can continue making these helpful clips.
@@RichardWayneLoveless it’s a craftsman aluminum jack. Far from harbor freight lol. This is the og craftsman when they were good. But yes should have had jack stands supporting the car as stated above. Sometimes we overlook safety when we just trying to complete a quick job and that’s terrible practice.

Pull the fuel.pump relay to bleed the.line before u pull it
Well leaving the car off would do the same thing. No power, no pressure from the pump

That’s part of the evap system.
It’s the charcoal cannister for the evap system.
