If your like me, working with Jack stands, and not wanting to waste time and effort removing things that are not necessary, we'll hear this,.... Get it up off the ground, remove the 2 strap nuts on the pump side only, make sure to have a jack to support the pump side only and lower the jack / tank, leav8ng the straps on the tank and rest the pump side on the ground. No need to remove strap bolts on fill side, no need to remove fill hose, no need to remove fuel lines. Now remove the pump and replace it. Jack the tank, install 2-strap bolts ,NUFF SAID.
I have a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. I replaced the fuel pump about a year ago. In the past several days, the van was very difficult to start and there was a constant strong gasoline smell coming from the van, whether it was running or not. The problem is a bad fuel pressure regulator, which is located inside the fuel pump assembly (as shown in this video). Apparently this is a very common problem with this generation of Dodge mini-vans.
Best How To on TH-cam. Details as to the line connectors was essential for me.
I watched other vids before yours but was still left scratching my head about the 3 connectors. Your vid had better clarity, so awesome job with the close ups 👍👊😊
Awesome, Video. Tod. Just to let everyone this its is the same parts as a Chrysler town and country 2005 and up. This video you made has the same concept. Thank you once again.
Thank you for this video, you told me everything I needed to know. I changed mine in my driveway 👍
Before you put the new unit into the tank, take a second to make sure that the fuel gauge is working properly. Move the arm up & down & check the Guage!
Even though this may not be the same procedure for my Gen 3 Caravan, I watched the entire video, because I honestly appreciate you showing that clips and electrical plugs don't always come out as easily as they should in theory. I'm quick to blame my lack of knowledge, strength, and size (and being female) when I run into a problem removing one of those things. I feel vindicated. Thank you!
Now I should probably look for a video for a Gen 3 Caravan fuel pump replacement.
how about that stupid pickle jar lid?
gen 3? What year is that? I have an 07 Grand Caravan Sxt? What Gen would it be? Why are you refering t o them as Gen models?
Helped my son replace the fuel pump and unfortunately broke off the small nipple
on the rollover valve assembly that is integrated into the tank, so rather than
replacing the tank I found an assortment of small brass and aluminum of random
short lengths at a hobby store and luckily it contained one about an inch in length
that fit the tubing that connects to it and by using a small drill the same diameter
as the brass tubing and turning the drill bit by hand as not to go too deep or
wobble out the hole in the plastic on the tank fitting with a little epoxy or similar
gasoline resistant adhesive spread on the end going into the hole it has worked
perfectly for over a year.
No rust. You're cheating! Its not fun unless rust is falling in your eyes and hair while breaking the bolts off in the frame. Lol
thank you for the thorough video! Just watch out for sparks, consider using a brass punch :)
Very well put together video has showed me more than any other video you went through the steps perfectly Thanks and keep doing what you're doing to help us
It was very good, Should let people know a brass punch to knock ring off will not cause sparks
My thoughts also. A brass drift is cheap insurance against sparks.
brass will spark if hit right i use brass hammers at my job and see them throw sparks from time to time its not full proof but much safer than steel
Thanks for this excellent video. Helped me replace mine which died with no signs of failing at 130K miles.
Warning: releasing the tank from the five screws that hold it in-place is a piece of cake. Releasing the three connectors of lines going to the pump and fuel filter takes some doing. But most critical, disconnect the line/hose going from the rollover valve to the canister. I did this, but left the hose hanging from the van’s frame. When I tried to pull the tank out, the hose broke the tip (plastic) of the rollover valve. This valve does no come out (it is integral part of the tank), so I had to buy a tank.
Conceptually, procedurally... piece o cake. Unfortunately for me, i didn’t have access to a lift and I had just filled the tank the night before, so there was about 170 lbs of fuel in it, and my jack only went up about 14 inches, I had to do this in the sun, in south florida, in July... I almost passed out from heat exhaustion.
If you have to do this with car jacked (not on lift) I suggest getting a piece of wood and using a car hydraulic jack to carefully lift tank into place. You can also fasten the rear bolts for the suspension brackets and then ‘slide’ tank back and up into position. Do not for get the filler hose line *before* you are all the way back up. .
I did mine in the dead of winter up here in NH at 18 degrees F in my snow covered driveway, fun fun fun. They never seem to break in the nice mild weather.
Thanks for covering the 2004 Model.. I watched a 2003 Model video and it was all similar except for a fuel filter was on top of the tank. This cleared up my confusion.
Allow
This was a huge help! I followed this video and changed my fuel pump. Works like a charm now. Thank you!
thanks tod my 2007 dodge just stopped your video was just what I need tks
Very helpful. We have a fuel leak coming from the top of the fuel tank in our '05 Grand Caravan (Sto & go). The engine runs but requires several tries to get it to actually start. This I'm sure is due to the fuel system not completely sealed and the fuel pressure needing to build back up to the throttle body. I saw that fuel was streaming from the back and front of the fuel tank as the engine was running. The only thing I can think of is that one of the fuel return line connections or hoses is leaking and the fuel is pooling on the top of the tank. This video helped to answer a couple of questions regarding other possible connections on top. I noticed two smaller white discs with fuel lines connected to them besides the fuel pump. I presume those are part of the fuel return system.
So, replaced the fuel pump. Ran a test and sure enough, the pump was working fine but gas was still coming from the top of the tank. Dropped the tank again and checked all of the connections. Sure enough, there was gas sitting on top of the tank just below where the fuel line connects to the pump. Turns out that the plastic clip that connects the main fuel line to the pump was the problem. Replaced a $5 part and the fuel leak stopped. Go figure!
this is actually very common on these vans, i have had several come in with the problem of smelling gas and sometimes hard to start.
Having this excact problem now,Glad you say it's a common problem. .I turn the key 2 or 3 times to pump gas upto avoid hard starts ,but need to see exactly where leak is coming from...
@@cealigh1260 my problem exactly today. Where did u buy the clip to replace it & did u drop the tank the get to it?? I have mine half off now can just about see it
Great video, it was very helpful, exactly like my 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan (with Sto-n-go)! I wanted to see (even tedious) video of connector operation and disassembly. Many thanks!
Had to modify my part by cutting about 3/8 squre" from the nylon flange to properly clock. Sugest take a pix and make sure location and angle of nipples is the same. The tubes must route the same to avoid getting pinched by the tank. In retrospect this is an item brand mopar may be worth using for perfect fittment.great video. These vans vary a lot year to year and model to model another great writeup on this is on all par site minivans
great! i was just trying to replace the filter bc it seemed to be leaking at a pump nipple but a plastic nipple snapped off so now i think i have to replace the pump too and i was having a hard time getting the wire detached; this vid helped; thanks!
To relieve fuel pressure : Remove fuel filler cap, start engine, remove fuel relay from the fuse box, engine will run, then stall. Crank engine a few more times to make sure it won't start. Turn ignition to off, disconnect neg battery terminal before working on the system. If you have more than a half of a tank, you can take some gas out at the air intake area using a bypass on the fuel relay.
If the fuel pump will not run then IMO there is no way to drain fuel out of the tank. I'm working on removing one of these right now and unfortunately the tank is full. :( Any idea what the lines are that cross under the tank and go towards the front and rear of the vehicle? How do you get them out of the way?
Is a good idea to use a brass punch when opening the locking ring to get the pump out since steel can make a spark. Alternatively use the wrench made for opening a gas pump lock ring
looks tough but you did great
Great video man. Thanks for taking your time. Now wish me luck :)
thanks for taking extra time after you removed the tank to speak about the connectors. love how you articulate nice and slow. does the whole device need to be purchased or can pump
be bought separately?
How did you determine it was a pump? thank you
+Scott Watkins I think it cam in as a no start, and there was no fuel pressure, most of the time a fuel gauge is used to diagnose.
Scott Watkins v
please we want a video of the replacement of the gasoline line filter of that same model Grand Caravan 2006 engine 3.8L
Also noticed that when you were trying to remove the one fuel line connector with the angled needle nose, that if it were possible to flip the pliers so they were gripping from the other direction if that would have worked out better in getting a proper grip on the squeeze tabs? Not seeing outside of that area of the video, I could not tell if there was some other component in the way preventing that. Just curious.
thanks for the video. i was hopeful for an access in the trunk :)...
how would you siphon fuel level down...is there some stop valve in the inlet hose where gas pumping is done?
can it be by passed? how?
at 1:40 time you mentioned a plastic line,,,u were not sure if had to remove it before dropping tank? did you have to. i am pursuing the work now
Use a brass punch to spin the ring on the tank. If you make a spark with a screwdriver or anything metal, BOOM !
What about Safety Glasses?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Did you have to use a Mopar oem fuel pump? Or are the replacement brands good enough? What did the part cost? Thanks!
Do you have to relieve any pressure first
You really should. Remove fuel filler cap, start engine, remove fuel relay from the fuse box, engine will run, then stall. Crank engine a few more times to make sure it won't start. Turn ignition to off, disconnect neg battery terminal before working on the system. If you have more than a half of a tank, you can take some gas out at the air intake area using a bypass on the fuel relay.
Wheres your safety glasses there bud. I like how you showed the struggle most vids make it look way to easy. Good video but safety up
Hey there, I love your vids they are a big time help! I have a question for you,
In the beginning of the video you say "the fuel pump is around here somewhere" and you put your hand on the 2 half circle indents on the bottom of the tank... My question is, was that a guess cuz you weren't sure, and those half circles made sense being designed to be there for the pump? If so and that is exactly where the pump is could you get back to me and let me know? My 06 Grand caravan w/sto & go stopped running almost 2 weeks ago and after running through all the other possible problems it might be, it leaves me thinking I need a new fuel pump. The problem is that I broke my back a couple years ago and it's hard enough just getting under the van and back up. I do not see myself being able to drop the tank and I don't have any help, or money to take it to the garage. So I've decided it would be easier on me to just cut a hole through the floor instead. I've done the measurements from the side and back of my van to the center of those 2 indented half circles and marked the center point on the carpet inside, now I'm prepared to cut but I just want to make sure before I do. I'll be using a Dremel and discs to cut through and common sense already tells me to be careful doing it, so I got that all covered.
Any advice or tips would be awesome!
Thanks so much,
Ryan
Thanks!
@ 3:38 the hose on my t&c from my to the female end is completely detached from the tank. I’m getting vacuum leak codes and my van putts and runs rough. Do you know if this might be the issue?
Would this repair effect the gas tank vent tube at all? We had this done and now when we fill up the gas pump keeps shutting of every 30 seconds....seems like the fill tube vent is plugged. Tried a few different gas stations so its not the pump. Any thoughts?
mybe the check vavl?
Thanks for showing the detail of the connectors. That would have been a pain to figure out.
What symptoms were you having to know it was the fuel pump? Any codes?
P0697 p0613.
Turn key all the way to ignition without starting engine 3 times in a row. And on the third it should start reading and showing all the codes on the odometer led screen.
Look up on google the codes it shows
Is the Fuel pressure regulator (for a 2005 dodge caravan 3.3L Non flex fuel) part of the fuel pump assembly or is it a totally separate part, and if so were is it located?
Thanks,
WOW! Sloppy work spilling gas all over and then not cleaning it up. Even sloppier is not wearing protective gloves to prevent gas from penetrating your skin. Otherwise, the info was instructive.
What's the name of that plastic part that looks like a mini fuel pump right next to the fuel pump
incredible tutorial!
Great video thank you so much .
Thanks you
Hi. I know this video was posted over 7yrs ago, BUT I JUST FOUND IT AND NEEDED TO ASK YOU A QUESTION! I HOPE YOU SEE MY QUESTION HERE AND WILL ANSWER ME AS SOON AS YOU CAN! : / WHAT IS THAT OTHER CANNISTER NEXT TO THE FUEL PUMP?? THE OTHER WHITE THING WITH THE ROUND WHITE CAP????? I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS.. PLEASE LET ME KNOW.. THANK YOU!
Does a fuel pump make any noise if it's going out?
Can the pump be purchased alone and installed? Or does the entire assembly need to be purchased when looking to change the fuel pump.
Usually it is a complete unit which includes the float (fuel level). On Dodge Caravans of this time period the fuel filter is located on the top of the tank, it is in the tank itself on later models- good time to change it too while you have the tank dropped.
Wood or a brass punch to take off and reinstall the fastening ring!!! Jesus, one spark and you have a big problem!!!
ugggg I have to do this job but just to replace the O ring. for some reason gas is splashing out and leaking I stuck my phone up in there so I could see the top of the tank where the pump sticks out of it and took some video. I could see that the ring was rusted to shit. I have no idea why that would be on a 2004 town and country. how ever I went to the dealer and bought the lock ring and O ring and gonna attempt to change the O ring and lock ring but I have no lift. Im worried that Ill have lots of trouble any suggestions? I was thinking of doing it hillbilly style with blocks jack the van up and put some blocks under it. best I can do.
It's a pain in the ass, ...but not too bad if you have a lockable floor jack or stands. Better empty the tank, disconnect the battery, lower the tank gently with another jack and use a piece of wood under the tank for uniform support while lowering. Take your time in well ventilated area, and make no sparks!
I have a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan an would like to replace the fuel pump and fuel filter. Do I have to measure the fuel pressure before starting this procedure and after or just replace the pump and filter. Thank you.
Just proper pump and filter should work.
Very informative thanks
does the 07 model have a filter
Is the fuel filter built into the pump?
Yes. Only the 2003 & earlier have a separate fuel filter.
i want to try to do mine too. some guys said the pump is out side but i can not fine it.
The fuel pump is mounted on the engine for carbureted vehicles which have been phased out since the 1980's. Fuel injected vehicles almost always have an in-tank fuel pump.
Good video. much detail !!!. Great.
super helpful. thanks
God bless
How to check if fuil pump is good or not
Good stuff! thank you
My husband left the battery connected while replacing fuel pump on our 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan and now it wont start. Sounds as if it is not getting enough fuel.. What could be the problem??
Sounds like ur hubby is the problem
Thank you!
Is this a Canadian or German model? That tank and pump is nothing like the tank and pump on my 2006 Caravan SXT.
The video is of a Sto & Go. They have a completely-different underside than the other Chrysler minivans. And, the fuel tank is much different also. If your SXT is not a Sto & Go, then you'll need to go to a different video.
I get the feeling that Chrysler really doesn’t want this stuff to ever come apart.
It's a Chrysler ... I avoid Plymouth Chrysler and dodge like the plague
Nice video, but no gloves?
so nice job
is 2010 Chrysler town the same way?
I have a 2008 dodge caravan and my temperature gauge rises to H then slowly makes its way back down to C. My heat still works fine and I’ve also changed my thermostat. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?
Coolant temperature sensor
Excellent
hi todd, i have a question at 10:01 of the video i paused it, my question is, what is the other white thing thats on top of the gas tank? it has a hose connected to it . thanks
Probably the rollover valve, a part that came along with atmosphericly sealed fuel compartments
Hello my dodge stratus burning too much gas. what should I do
Check Coil Pack, Air filter
This is not a fuel pump. this is a fuel pump assembly. there is a difference
Stephen Cobb Chrysler & stupid inclosed sending unit not only pump but filter shit design no fuel filter on line
You forgot the fuel pump strainer.
Van runs about 4000 rpm and won't run no power
I tried puttinthe metal lid back on but it acting like a bitch any pointers on putting it back on?
where is the fuel filter for the 2005 caravan
In the tank
Aww! I need Closed Caption...
youtube offers CC on all videos i do believe.
🥰🥰
\good job\\\\Gracias buen trabajo/////////
