The install of the fuel pump was a great success, thanks to your instruction video! No need to learn in the new fuel pump, just disconnecting the battery a few hours before install did the job. On to the next project: wet floor in the focus.
I'm so happy to hear mate just wish I could of shown how to actually get it outta the tank but very hard to do and yeah my next video will be reinstalling new rooflining in your car as mine is toast But all in all I'm glad I've been able to help you out in some way
That will be the guttering blocked under the windscreen. Unplug the rubber and leave it unplugged , because the problem returns if you replace that plug !.
@@tryagain.k1821 Yes, but I said about petrol engine, in this case the fuel pump is located into fuel tank and fuel filter is somewhere near by the fuel tank. OK ☺
Thanks for uploading this vid guys it gives me confidence to tackle a fuel pump problem not being able to drop the tank out from under the car because I'm too old and fat ha ha
I suppose one could look at it and say he has done what Ford should have done in the beginning, which is put a service hatch in. As long as the finished job is safe then there is no problem.....except maybe selling the car on or letting the car insurers know about it.
Brilliant job mate. Seen guys use a grinder 😱😱. Stuff that. Tinsnips are hard work but wayyyyyy safer. Thanks for the vid!! Screw dropping the tank!!! 👍
If a car cost less then the cost that many garages take for this job, this is an good solution, especially if you are planning to drive that car untill the end. Ford Should have chosen to add an hatch on that spot, but they didn't. Question, i read sometimes you have to "learn'' the new fuel pump into the car's computer. is this true?
I was the exact same way like "hell naw lol" and decided to do it this way as if it Ever goes again it will be much simpler and it's my luck lol And in answer to your question it depends on your car like my car in Australia my Ford falcon (fusion in USA) yes it has to "learn" which is simpally done by disconnecting the battery for 24 hrs to reset the computer then it's easier for it to learn and do it correctly some of the older cars like this one in the video are much simp2and don't need to learn lol
@@bt-media Yeah i hate it when you know you are gonna ripped off for a job when you know you could done it yourself. Never had any mechanic experience, but replaced the gear box speed sensor on my own on my 1999 focus as well as the destributor cap, just learning from youtube. Guys like you just helps other guys out for finding an solution for every day problems. As for the 24hrs reset, did you do that on the focus as well? disconnect the battery for 24hrs and on the meanwhile, repair the fuel pump? and did you order the same one that was already installed or dit you order another brand?
@@deepchillzone I didn't do the reset for this one I only disconnected the battery while removing the pump just incase and I just got a aftermarket fuel pump for it which is going strong today
Any specs for the scissors? Or just metal cutter csissors? I did not know I could use scissors now I feel I would do it but I am not sure if the scissor I buy will cut the metal thikness
So hope that his car and someone hasn’t to pay for that it would only 30 minutes to jack car up out on stand the undo the straps/tank bolts and remove tank
😃 This is like: "Why you make things just so complicated", because there are always another way? Old Volkswagen cars has typically already have this "hole" there (gives access to electric fuel pump), so no need for extra job - things are already made easier way. Huuuh ☺
SoAExile Sorry very hard to show but once the hole is cut you just disconnect all the hoses and then understand screw the pump once it's open to remove it you simply turn the pump unit by 1/4 turn and it comes out To put it back in repeat this prosess in reverse its seems complicated but when you see it in real life it will make sence

xdrfox hard to show sorry mate car has done 200,000 kms and never had the fuel pump removed so it was way harder than normal so all you would of seen is my back but it's simple enough to remove once the hole is cut you just disconnect all the hoses and then understand screw the pump once it's open to remove it you simply turn the pump unit by 1/4 turn and it comes out To put it back in repeat this prosess in reverse its seems complicated but when you see it in real life it will make sence
Hi , I've just done this same job , car started up fine afterwards drive it for 12 miles parked up for about an hour , got back in it started fine drove off and it cut out and won't start again now ... Any ideas ?
Beaz Tech & FPV I bought another one from the scrap yard for £20 put it in and all is good now , the other one had a very small split in one of the pipes and was opening under pressure .
Clearly you don't know much about cars and that's ok but most cars (70%) well at least in Australia have an access port under the seat but as this thing was European it didn't Thus making our own ... But thank you for your input
Design is supposed to improve, i have had older cars with access to fuel pump and sender, in case it needs changing, it's ridiculous that you have to cut into panels or take the whole fuel tank off.
@@rrcrybaby4672 fair point but im not going to start sticking cameras into the fuel tank and its not easy to just film removing it as there is NO room to show the viewers otherwise people like yourself would be doing it and uploading it to youtube but your not but hey if there is another way to film the removal of the pump please let me know as im all for learning helping each other
Yes you could but clearly you only like your way as for me ill do anyway that works as per I like to learn how to approch things differently and make it easier for next time (hopefully there won't be but you never know) the design of this car is crap as the Australian fords and Holden's all /most have a access for the pump which is exactly what I've done here but each to their own
having an access point to the pump/tank is usefull for the future. even for on the road repairs. droping down the tank is not just two bolts espesialy if they are rusted.
also, the evap system is a bitch. if you damage it while removing it, which you have to do to drop the tank, that is more stuff to replace. this is much simpler.

Thanks, it is done! I hope this new electric fuel pump is at the top of its tasks. ☺
In the UK TDCi there is not a fuel pump in the tank. There is only the high pressure pump at the engine. The system might need priming.
@@tryagain.k1821 Yes, but I said about petrol engine, in this case the fuel pump is located into fuel tank and fuel filter is somewhere near by the fuel tank. OK ☺
Next video, how to change rear axle from rear seats..
Why not lol 😂
😂😂

thats what we were thinking better safe than sorry and it did the job
Great job dude , it's your ride do it how you want , do worry what anyone says
Thanx 4 the video....I have 2 do that in the morning lol..
Welcome mate I'm no mechanic but it did the job lol
The best...how take of fuel pomp from ford focus mk1.
For the UK TDCi it is a sender not a pump.
Brilliant just what I wanted
Unique Guy hopefully it helps a bit or gives u an idea sry I couldn't show how to "unclip / unscrew" the pump
Is it just plug and play ?
Basically
fantastique Ford 🚗👍 is fantastic travaille

Lee was your 03 Focus a DOHC , I have 02 Focus DOHC that needs fuel pump.
No I wasn't sorry but it shouldn't be much different
IS the same for Ford c max 2012?
Any specs for the scissors? Or just metal cutter csissors? I did not know I could use scissors now I feel I would do it but I am not sure if the scissor I buy will cut the metal thikness
I just purchased normal metal ones but buy the more expensive ones as the cheap ones won't work
Great job, how many hours did it take?
probs about 1 to 2 hrs non stop
Took me 2hrs ... including cleaning up the spilled gas and sanitizing everything
Salut,daca poți sa îmi arați unde este siguranța pentu pompă,mersi mut anticipat
did that with the tempo/topaz. oh and f150 rear tank.
I am getting fuel tank pressure valve and evap pressure too high error lights. Any idea what thats about?
No sorry would take it to an auto Electrician to get it traced back to the issue
My new fuel pump looks a little different.
is Ford the same 1.6 tdci the same ?
after a few jobs done. noting left .
Some of these comments are hilarious I am cracking up
Yes im very much the same only made this video for a bit of fun lol
From where I get fuel pump like this which website I can make order to Arabic gulf (Bahrain)
Sorry I don't know we can just go to a local store and buy a new one or go to the wreckers and get a used one cheap sorry maybe just google a little
amazon or ebay should be able to ship it to you
It is very wrong way to replace the pump. The right way is to dismantle the Fuel tank to get the pump inside
Each to their own 👍
Tku sr 😁
Where can i bought one ?
😖 noooo,, tiene tres tuercas para desmontarlo como lo pensaron los ingenieros que lo diseñaron. Demoras menos tiempo

bro how can i get it out. and what do i do to get it back in do o just push it

Sorry for the late reply i used ones like this tinyurl.com/y8szvp4e
What is the name of the material you covered the hole with ?
Just scrap metal sorry
👍Thank you
Your Welcome
there is such a hole in the bmw, great...
Grazie ho tirato fuori 30 litri
That's what you call a hack job.
jesse flores hell yeah lol
Best way to do it.
no show how to get out of tank ??

Mine came from the scrap yard too as in Australia it was $150 new lol with mine all the old wires were burnt out
Lots of cars have an access panel under the seat or under the spare tire. These comments are hillarious.
I know right.... that's why I did it for the future just to make life a bit easier and safer I think
@modern studies I Used a Simple Pair of sharp Straight Snips like in the link below tinyurl.com/y8szvp4e
and then ur car smells like gas awesome my god it doesn't take that long to do it from underneath may be an hour, hour and a half
Clearly you don't know much about cars and that's ok but most cars (70%) well at least in Australia have an access port under the seat but as this thing was European it didn't
Thus making our own
...
But thank you for your input
You're supposed to drop it from under not destroy your car
In Australia having a acsess panel is stand mate, 👍🇦🇺
No way remove the tank is 30 min
Work smart, Not hard.
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Design is supposed to improve, i have had older cars with access to fuel pump and sender, in case it needs changing, it's ridiculous that you have to cut into panels or take the whole fuel tank off.
I know that's what I get for owning a European made car that's why I made the hole lol
Very fast video
Had to be sorry otherwise it would be an 30 min video
well how did you get time pump out when you put your hands down in the tank. what good is a how to video if it's in high speed???? idiotic
@@rrcrybaby4672 fair point but im not going to start sticking cameras into the fuel tank and its not easy to just film removing it as there is NO room to show the viewers otherwise people like yourself would be doing it and uploading it to youtube but your not but hey if there is another way to film the removal of the pump please let me know as im all for learning helping each other

Lee B thänks ☺
lol u spend more time damaging car than taking few nuts and bolts out
Beniamin dobosz each to their own mate not everyone has the resources or time to do that but you are right

also, the evap system is a bitch. if you damage it while removing it, which you have to do to drop the tank, that is more stuff to replace. this is much simpler.
Geez this is how not to do it. Just take the tank out already it’s not that hard.
