Thank you for saving me the time to not even think about tackling this.
I'm thinking the same. My van is leaking fuel from somewhere on top of tank. My Father in law told me to find a video showing how to drop the tank. This video is the best I have watched!! I appreciate all the detail, but I do not think I want to try to disconnect all those tubes and plastic and electric connections that might break and we can't replace! 😱
After watching this video I went and started working on my Dodge Grand Caravan 2013 changed fuel pump fixed my problem and everything worked fine..Thanks a lot
Great job William! Glad it helped this video helped you out! Thanks for your kind feedback. Was it much different to replace fuel pump on 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. I have never done it before.
@PistonShack it wasn't that much of different just a few hookups on electric plugs other than that no different
Perfect video! Thanks so much for saving me time and money on my 2004 Grand Caravan. Draining the remaining fuel prior to reinstall was critical even with only 4 gallons of gas. The only hiccup I ran into was that when I added a few gallons after the repair my gas gauge was stuck at empty (even with 3 gallons in it). Once I filled the tank to half the gauge worked fine! Thanks again. FYI, buy the tools! The pliers made life easy for sure. Took my 18 year old and myself about 2.5 hours to complete once we had the shade tent set up and the tools handy. Good luck!
I wanted to say thank you for your very helpful video with great information and clear images. My fuel pump went out, my husband is a mechanic, yet he has been healing from a broken back. I needed to research and have a good idea of what I will be doing under the van while he will be telling me what to do..
This helps a lot! Thank you!
My greetings guys! I am so sorry to hear that. I wish your husband easy healing and quick recovery. Let me know if you have any questions.
Great job..explained everything..left no stones unturned. First video I've seen so far that didn't skip anything .bravo
Glad it was helpful Sondog73! Appreciated your feedback. I tried my best to cover everything what others missed to make this video short as possible and long as necessary) Cheers!
Great video! Thanks for being so precise and detailed.
Glad it was helpful Jbee! Thanks for your feedback:)
Great video! Will be doing this to an 07 town and country soon. Feel more confident after watching this!
Sounds great Buck2012! Let me know if you have any questions.
I am a mechanic and you are top notch buddy. Excellent job, thankyou
Thanks for your kind feedback, Doug G! I tried my best to make this video informative and short as possible)
Great! Easier than I expected. The fuel fitting tool is very helpful!
Great video! Best I have ever seen on vehicle repair. Doing repair on mine next weekend. Thanks for your time
Awesome, thank you David! I tried my best to make this video informative and useful as possible. Appreciated your feedback. Let me know if you have any questions!
Absolute best fuel pump video and you explained testing.
Thanks Dave) How is you repair?
@@PistonShack The he2003 caravan did run until 1/2 half full several times of the past couple weeks then die. Refuel with two gallons each time. Just replaced the pump today after it sat without the tank attached for three days. No fuel is getting to the engine it seems. Haven’t bleed or checked electrical issues. How bad can airlock be? Cycled key many many times and cranked
@@PistonShack 11 gallons of gas in the tank
Wow!!! You are very precise and detailed in your instructions. Great job!!!
Glad it was helpful Josue! Let me know if you have any questions.
Awesome video.. I like the step by step coverage and how you explain as you go and move on into the next step. Easy to understand from A-Z... Thanks a million for the video.
Awesome, thank you, buddy!
Fixing to do this. I'm not as scared now. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much Robert for your feedback, I am glad to share! Let me know if you have any questions.
You're right man these are great vans...my sister has an 01 since new and it has over 400 k miles on it and she hasnt had to do much at all to it....amazing to me ...400 k miles !!
That's awesome, David! My Caravan has long way to go. Just passed 194K km not miles:) 400K miles is 643K km! It's a lot! I am only 1/4 of your mileage!
Wow! Mine is '08 4.0 with 300k. I plan to keep this van til the end. Sad that they aren't making parts for it any more. I just saw that they discontinued the fuel rails and other places are selling them for $450!!! WHAAT?!?!
love this video very helpful also props on your english i can tell youve worked very hard to learn it and get where you are because i can hear you working to try to get that american accent but honestly i say just let your accent fly free man its a part of you and where you came from!
Thank you! 😃
@PistonShack of course! Very surprised you answered my comment since this videos not too recent haha I just love hearing people learn new languages I've been learning Spanish for about 10 years now and I still sound white as hell lmao of course practice makes perfect but sometimes it's worth sticking to the roots but only if you like them enough if not you might as well leave them behind for some legs
best mechanic VIDEO ever!!
Thanks Daltin. I tried to make the video informative and short as possible. Cheers!
Great job, thanks for sharing. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

Thanks, Ken!
Very nice vid!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for the visit, Lexi!
I cut underneath the seat above the tank with grinder and making it easier to replace any time
Good video, I can't find the link to the fuel line clips? The little parts you changed. Would you be able yo provide a link?
Thanks, Jean! I added the link to Amazon, where I bought the tool. Not sponsored. Check the description under the video, cheers!
Love my 06 dodge caravan roomy and good gas mileage drives nice
Indeed Bryce! I like my Caravan! It's my daily driver - don't want anything else_period!
My 2006 Caravan with 2.4 lt 4 cylinder replacement pump came without a filter / strainer on the bottom of the new pump . Is this necessary?
You're the BEST! Thank You.......now I know I can do this job without a hoist🙂
Glad I could help Bruce! Thank you for your feedback. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!
Thank you for posting this. This is an excellent guiide. I was able to replace my fuel pump on my own and save a bunch of $. Much appreciated.
Glad it helped lp115! Thanks for your kind feedback)
Best one so far.
yep gotta do the same thing on the work van not looking forward to this!
good video
Thanks 👍 Edward! Btw, let me know if you have any questions! Cheers!
Thank you for such a detailed Vid with line disconnect and WD-49 etc. I wish I had seen it before I attempted to do it on my own because the vid I tried to watch before I could I could not understand because of his extreme accent and he just said take the lines off without telling you how. I mangled one of the green clips pretty good so I was glade to see that clip kit you said you would put a link to it below. I don't know if I am missing something but I can not find that link. I Have a 2005 town and country also so that kit looked prefect for me and my brother has a dodge Miny van also. I have checked all the parts stores and some dealers but no luck. PLEASE HELP ME.
Hey Jim! You need fuel line disconnect pliers to make work easy. Here's the link, not sponsored from Amazon where I bought the pliers:

great great job
Thanks Red Head!
Excellent video.
Thank you very much! How is your repair? Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers brotha!
I have a 2004 Town & Country with the exact same fuel system configuration. Can you tell me where the fuel filter is on this vehicle? I am not able to locate it, and most online resources I've found show the fuel system configuration that I do not have.
This vehicle doesn't have replaceable inline fuel filter.
@@PistonShack Thank you. That's what I suspected, but wasn't able to confirm.
Excellent informative video. Thanks for sharing. The only thing I may add is that by asking around different mechanics, I was told to spend the extra money on the mopar rebuild pump assembly for longevity reasons. Probably 3 times more than the after market ones. Honestly I think it’s just a crapshoot. A personal preference. I opt to go with the mopar only because it is not an easy and quick repair. 👍
Hey Edwin! That's interesting advice, I am not sure but sounds pretty skeptical to me. OEM parts are great but high quality aftermarket parts sometimes even better for less price) I might be wrong about rebuild Mopar pumps. Have you done your Dodge Caravan repair already?
Thanks for your feedback.
@@PistonShack I just ordered it from the dealership yesterday and my price is 287 and I have an account with that particular dealership. However it is still a rebuild not new. Haven’t paid for it yet it’ll take them a week to get it in.
@@PistonShack having said that , again, you really nailed it with the tutorial. Now, I have no doubts I can do it myself in my driveway.
@@PistonShack which brand do you recommend? Can not afford the dealer price!
I think I paid for Denso brand new fuel pump 185 Canadian dollars from Rockauto, little but less than OEM one.
Excellent video bro!!
Appreciate it!
I appreciate the detailed video, nice job! About how long did it take you?
Thanks for your kind feedback Adam.
Through my suffering with the fuel pump and with the suffering of taking down the tank.. Finally I made a hole in the body of the car.. Through it I can replace the fuel pump without having to take down the tank...And its location will be below the middle seat..
Greetings from Iraq
Right on! Genius, I like that way you did it. Why some vehicles have fuel pump assess from the top and some not! If so make your own one. How did you seal everything after all?
Btw, thanks for sharing your experience!
@@PistonShack What prompted me to make this modification was the sudden malfunction of the external road.. Where there is no possibility of lifting the tank from its place, especially if I am alone.. The idea of making a hole under the middle seat came to me.. After implementing this method, I replace the fuel pump in fifteen minutes.. And for your information, even the fuel pump I modified.. So that only the electrical part of the pump plastic body was replaced
@@PistonShack
I was hoping to send you the pictures of the modification that I made
@@layth618 how did you make the hole? I need to know
Thanks.
You're welcome Jonas!
USHANKA SHOW!
Now includes auto repair. 🚘
Just a little joke because you sound just like Sergei on that channel. Thanks for the video. I give it 👍
Is Dodge Caravan better than Lada to repair?
😅I don't know I have never worked on Ladas) I checked his channel out, something there!
hey quick question im doing a fuel pump on a 2005 dodge grand caravan 3.3 but question are there 1 gasket or 2 of them thanks
You mean fuel pump rubber o-ring to the tank?
What is the plastic thing that connects to the filler neck called?
Hey Brandon! I think we are talking about hose, connecting filler to the tank.
@@PistonShack yeah it's a plastic thing that connects to the tank and filler its cracked on mine and idk where to find it
@@Brandon-21MN dealer or junkyard? Will I hope you found it already
I think mine is weak as I check the plugs none are wet but unless I hold the gas pedal down it won't start from cold. If I hold pedal it will crank maybe 5 to 9 times then will start when its warm it starts fine no issue. If that's a pump I'll replace or try to rejuvenate it with a high voltage push using 18v battery. Not sure what else as everything else is new. No check engine light either no misfire on computer.
I would check actual fuel pressure and fuel volume at the start up, idle and acceleration before firing the cannon. Most likely you have wearing out fuel pump or failing fuel pressure regulator with build inside the pump. Ussually, original pump last around 200K.
How can I be sure it is the pump that is the problem before changing it?
Could you tell me what that other white device that the three lines coming out of is called? Something to do with evap, I think? Thanks!
great video and very good explanation.
thx
Thanks Harry!
hey quick question when u replace the fuel pump and then how much gas to put back in the tank for it to turn over and does it have to be on the ground when doing this thanks again happpy hoilDAYS TO U AND YOUR FAMILY besafe always
Hey Red Head! I would put 5 gallons. That's should be plenty enough. Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!
Hi my 98 caravan has 3 wires to the fuel pump. Yours has 4. What pins have 12 v to the pump ? Bill
Hey Bill. I don't remember exactly. Two powers - pump and sender unit. Yours probably has shared 12V power.
Finally a second part of the epic Dodge Grand Caravan series. First comment 🙂
Thanks for watching!

How did you get the gas out
I didn't have much left. I dropped as it is.
Those pliers look very interesting
Yes, they are!
Thanks
You're so welcome J Jones! Have you replaced the pump already?
No new filter ?.
Nope, no inline filter.
Gd video
Thanks!
Why did you replace the fuel pump no explanation regarding how you found out the problem? Thanks nice video
He has a super thorough video on the whole diagnosis. Separate.
If you came here because you just bought a fuel pump and you’re wondering why it doesn’t have a pick up tube and filter sticking off the bottom of it, it’s because they have been redesigned. The new ones have an internal filter and they pull in the fuel through a small hole next to the weird plastic part about 4” from the bottom. The hole is hard to see because of the white plastic. So you’re good. There’s no extra part you need. It will work just install it.
@5:03 good thing I looked it up cus I was trying to pry it out that hose is not in the Hanes manual either. Do the fuel pump right now on my mother's van. Good thing I stopped an took a break I was starting to get very mad with it lol. I have a tendency to not slow down an think about things lol. When I seen you push it I said put loud you dumbass no wonder it was fighting me lol. Live an learn. Thanks for the vid it's really gonna help me out most the other vids only shows the taking out the pump.
Hey Ronnie! I am glad your moms van is coming back on road again! I haven't watched other pump vids on TH-cam, but thanks for your kind feedback. Btw, how is your pump replacement?
@@PistonShack it's going good now I just washed the tank off an letting it dry then i gotta drain out 2 gal of fuel that's in it. An depending on how dirty the tank is. Also probably wash the inside out too an there is a external fuel filter right next to it so Im probably gonna get a new one too idk it's up to her she's paying for it an I'm just doing the labor but I'm sure she will, she usually listens when I tell her about changing things now that's it's accessable.
Wat is da name of that part at 5:00
Did u change fuel filter???
Van doesn't have inline fuel filter.
@@PistonShack my 2005 does just wondered I didn't see one there mine was right by the tank which was stupid had to lower tank a little to change it.
What is that whistling sound at the end? Power steering reservoir filter stopped up?
When did you hear that sound exactly?
@@PistonShack 18:09
@@PistonShack the whistling starts at 18:04 and for few seconds
The only thing not mentioned is the amount of fuel it takes to get the fuel pump to prime itself. My Caravan would not start until I had almost eight gallons of gas in the tank. This the second Caravan that would not prime without lots of gas in the tank. I ran out of gas in one and that is all it took to strand me even after putting two gallons of gas in the tank. To me fuel injection is better called fool infection. My collector cars are much more reliable and far easier to fix.
Hi Bottmar1!Interesting, I have never heard about such a problem on Caravans, hmm. Did you find what was causing issue priming fuel up?
Yes. The answer was mostly in my first reply. The tank had too little gas in it for the pump to prime when it only had 2 1/2 gallons in it. I had to add 5 more gallons to it, then the pump could prime itself. I never had trouble like this with carbureted cars. If their was ANY gas you could count on a new pump to pump it unless the fuel pump was defective out of the box. I have run out of gas on purpose in fool infected cars to show the accuracy of the gas gauge and they have restarted ok with several gallons of gas but there are exceptions. With that in mind I am going to be very dillegent with making sure I don't run out of gas, at least unless I have ten gallons of gas with me. Thanks for the reply.
I ran out of gas in my 2000 caravan... put 2 gallons in and won't start. You may have saved me a fuel pump replacement job........ I'll put 5 more gallons in and try to prime it 3 times before I go all out thanks.
I thought the engine had to come out. I see you just got up under there.
The hardest connection is the vent with "white" tab. You didn't do it.
It was difficult.
No details about How you got the gas out of the tank at first.
Hey Eric. The tank wasn't full I decided to drop it without pumping gas out. You can try siphon gasoline out with gasoline transfer pump.
@@PistonShack Thanks! Some car has a screen or valve in the gas filling pipe which will block the transfer pump tube from entering the tank. In that case how can we get the gas out of the tank?
Will look dead.have to prime
