I feel that with automotive problems, just like the human body, it's clinical reasoning. And sometimes, you just need more time to diagnose and fix the issue. Can't be handicapped by people saying how much, how long. It's quite unreasonable sometimes. And if you fix it faster than others, should you charge less? No, because that speed comes at the cost of experience and less wasted time and resources in the number of attempts and time needed to solve to issue. Great video!
A few years ago I had to drop the tank on a 2000 Corolla with a similar setup back seat was covering access panel to get at the fuel pump connections but I think it had a few bolts holding the cover. Maybe because on the older cars they did a better job. If they can save a few pennies on some bolts and multiple that my the number of cars they sell, well I guess it adds up. On a Toyota Sienna I had to take the air box out for a leaking nylon fuel line. I think chipmunks or mice chewed into it, car sits for long periods between uses. The Toyota price for a new line was over a hundred dollars and for less than twenty five bucks I repair it. Got an 18 line, a piece of hose to protect the fuel line and a couple of couplers, I got the mother in law back on the road. Happy Motoring.
It's fun watching you take the puzzle apart and put it back together. When the pieces dont fit together properly things dont work as they should. Once you discovered the relief valve O ring out of place other things started to make sense all the way back to the cover under the seat coming off easier than you expected. Great video and fun to watch/learn.
I certainly don’t want to sound picky Kenny, being that I was a very picky tech with my own work and mostly worked alone due to this 😊, but @ 26:30 in this video I noticed a corner section of flooring carpet caught under the pump cover there and wondering if this might affect the seal here? Please don’t take this the wrong way as I know how concerned you are about your work and I appreciate that very much brother.
I would like to know what camera you're using to create these videos. The quality is good, but you're having to put it down quite often to work, and I would suggest an around-the-neck mount to make it easier to work with both hands. and zoom in tight on the small pieces. If the shot's too wide, it can be changed in editing.
Odor is Particular. That is to say that your nose works by sensing individual particles of gasoline. The more you smell, the more particle are in the air and the more will land on your clothes and on the interior of the car. Combustion will only happen when the magic ratio is achieved. Don't find out the hard way what that ratio smells like. I have often pointed a fan into the car to blow the smell out as quickly as possible while removing and reinstalling, but... cover the tank opening when you walk away or it will continue to evaporate the gas and increase the smell in the car and the shop.
I don't understand why people are so haphazard when they are repairing things. I am 68 years old and have made my share of mistakes. But a blind man should have seen that. Wow!!!
Not design for hazardous environment like refineries or processing plants. Those approved are extremely expensive, thousands of dollars just for a light fixture and all electrical components in the area have to be explosion proof, Class 1 or Class 2, Division 1 rated. Brush motor may not be sparking but other components could like the trigger, electronic short circuit, the screw driving bits, switching out the battery. Could take a chance with a fan blowing air across the work area, but it's a chance.
Good job, Kenny that explains why that body panel under the seat came off so easy
Attention to detail is important! Thanks for sharing!

Great video!

previous mech was either rammy or didn't know what he was doing but sent it any ways ,well done Kenny.
Was a hack job from someone else

Always a good idea to vacuum the area before you disassemble it to help keep debris from falling into the tank.
Informative and well done!
Please be cautious of static electrical discharge sparks around flammable liquids ! 6/4/23
Always have a fire extinguisher within reach !
Yes !! You are 100% correct on that !!
Hi mate was the car running when it came in or was it towed in ?

They must have disassembled it and didn't remember how it went back together
If it was a backyard rebuild,and the wrong type of rubber in the orings used, can create a problem like this when the rubber swell's
How much does complete assem versus just the pump ????
So what did the customer say about a previous fuel pump replacement

I think he’s using his phone still.
What is the name and brand of the blue assembly grease? Also where can I get the product?

will the assembly lube mix with fuel?
Yes, & that's not a problem. Thanks for watching & keep wrenching 🔧
That's easy fix
gday kenny i dont know the reason you left that place but with all that crap lying around i could not work there
If u don't have time to do it right the first time, how will you have time to redo it the second time.
Purge EVAP valve causes problems

Brushless battery tools don’t make sparks
Why would you take a chance!!!
