I just last week did this to a 2003 Chevy Suburban, took about 2 hours, was more difficult to remove the rear seat than to do the work itself. the instructions were easily found on utube. Now I have a 94 explorer to do, and will follow your method as well. I use an electric grinder with a 4 in. thin cutting blade, much faster than the air wrench and easier to control. Thank you so much for this much needed info!
Mechanic here. (Also necroposter!) Even though your old pump was well and truly dead, many times I've taken a 'dead' pump out of a car and tested it out on a battery and it worked. Just as a piece of advice, if that happens to you, replace the pump anyway. They will fail that way, not working in the tank, but apparently working ok outside. Likely a dead spot on the motor and being handled jostles it enough to catch. Banging on the gas tank while someone else is cranking the engine will sometimes get the pump going - and prove a pump failure. I don't completely rely on listening for the pump sound, I once put a used oem Lincoln Town Car pump in a Ford Ranger. That thing was DEAD silent, but worked like a champ. Also, I always do a visual inspection of the level sensor. It's a couple contacts sweeping over a resistance surface. Most common failure is that the contact fingers wear down to nothing and barely touch the surface. It will often work enough to move the gauge to the right places, but will lose contact when in the tank. Sometimes you get lucky and can just bend the contacts closer and it'll work. Pull the float arm away from the sensor and see if the contacts lift away. Never seen a float take on liquid though, lol.
After market senders never work right. I put a bosch one in my grand marquis and I could never get it to read full. (F) on the digital display, reads 17 max. Probably had to be bent down with trial and error, because it seems accurate otherwise. I may reinstall my old sender.
You can make a float out of many things and just fasten it to the arm on the sending unit. Or find the crack in the old one, empty it, and just reseal the crack. Use epoxy suitable for gas exposure and you'll be fine!
My neighbor bought a Ford F-150 parts truck a while back, the guy he got it from actually cut a hole in the bed to replace the fuel pump, some cars actually have access panels to get at the fuel pump I think all vehicles should. Despite its problems the engine seems to run pretty good.
My 1995 Toyota Camry sedan has an access panel under the rear bench seat, with 3 screws holding it in place(newer models have it glued in place). The hardest part of changing the fuel pump was taking apart the flare nut fittings, they were extremely tight.
Just pull the 10amp yellow fuse, under the left Dash. The Fuse is the Forward Right most fuse in the Fuse Block. This will kill the Dinger, Radio Memory & Dome Lights.
I've used this method to access fuel pumps also. If you have an air compressor check out "air nibbler" on EBay. Much safer than a grinder and more controllable. Only down side is it makes a lot of half moon shaped metal fragments that are very sharp. The edge of the actual hole it cuts is not too bad. Just my 2 cents.
If you take the float out and drain it to see where the hole is, maybe you can get some epoxy goo and cover it and when its dry pop it back in. I have done that in the past and it works. I did it on my '94 F150 about 100k miles ago and its still good.
In the end your just tearing out interior pieces and cutting sheet metal. I think it would have been easier to drop the tank especially when empty. It's a safety hazard as well because if the tank catches fire it will melt that silicone and come up through the new hole. Btw even though the door chime is annoying many people don't know it's useful for diagnostics or operator error. If I shut my Expedition off with the lights still on it beeps repetitively, or if the check engine light comes on it does a long beep for a few seconds to warn something is wrong.
You should have pulled the tank it's not that difficult the tank needs cleaned anyway. You can buy the brass floats separately and a good old fashioned auto parts store like southern auto or a car quest store. You definatly would not want to cut a access hole if you lived in a northern rust belt state.
you can make an access panel, newer cars have them nowadays. As for the cut you could either put fluid film over it or possibly paint it with some sort of primer
cutting and access panel in the floor is the easiest way to change the fuel pump on these explores I install hinges back on the panel with a catch so it stays in place
Man that transmission is a bleeder. I drove an Aerostar home bleeding that bad 60 miles once. On the way home a really impatient driver got right on my bumper as the ATF was barfing out (I was driving slower), smoke rolling out from under the van because the ATF was on everything. I'll never forget when I saw the wipers go on that Pontiac, and then them suddenly back off and pull over. Just keep at it. It sounds like it runs exceptionally well. It seems more then happy to be running again. Still strange that it was parked the way it was. To have the gas tank drained like that, it was a very long term storage that was planned for.
We're quite lucky here in the UK, euirocarparts and a few other 'semi trade' places are in most major cities, they'll order stuff in for you for the same day if it's not in stock. You can get brand name or el cheapo, or anywhere inbetween. The places you speak of remind me of 'halfords'
In relation to the float, if it is brass and not plastic, why not place it in boiling (or very hot) water and watch for the bubbles. You could then drain and re-solder it.
Way easier to disconnect the fuel lines after dropping the tank. Need to remove the filler hoses first and electrical harness to pump, then the tank shield then the 1 strap that holds the tank to the body. Once tank is dropped, easy to disconnect fuel lines. Tank that old needs to be cleaned thoroughly as I found the old float and filter were disintegrated in the tank. Thick layer of gunk was caked to the bottom of the tank and the old pump was sucking up all the deposits and was rusty as heck. The remaining old fuel had the color of coca cola. Dumped out all the old fuel and washed tank out w water and dried out for a day. After done tank was clean n fresh ready for new pump.
post video on the 1992 Explorer i like the repair video on lock and fuel pump and more videos coming out on the 1992 ford Explorer. take it and stump on that door buzz was annoying😀😁
All those flaming metal sparks around gas, LOL, why not just torch it! That would EOL Shango. I suggest an air nibbler tool, quick and easy. I use them to cut holes for speakers in sheet metal. HFT has them cheap. Don KABOOM!
For those that wonder why there is no access panel above fuel pumps.....The official line (in Europe at least) is that this would allow a thief access to the pump to power it up from a nearby 12V source and aid theft. >>> I personally don't think that this is a viable excuse nowadays with full electronic engine controls that can have sophisticated immobilisation features.The real reason is.... Yep you guessed it COST. All goods, not just cars, are built to budgets.Think how much it would cost to add a panel opening, making the covering patch and gasket, fixing screws etc. Compare this to the reliability of the Fuel Delivery Module itself and you can see how the accountants work. Under warranty, if a tank was to be dropped down then the vehicle would be up on a 4 poster and access would not be too difficult. Bit of a swine if the tank is full though.If you think about how many vehicles are made of a specific type on a production line during it's life. Say at least a Million, if you could save 1 buck per vehicle then the savings would be $1 million. Go figure.....
got a 94 Nissan D21 -trying to get the bed off, may just cut an access hole now. body hardware holding it down is 4 12 mm nuts on bolts, and they're loc-tited on there, rather than break the bolts, since their nuts are extra hard to get to and seat a wrench on, yes, new trap-door coming right up... the next owner will be happy.
So my question is, why don't auto manufacturers put in a bolted removable steel panel directly over the location of the fuel pump? Is it because of safety reasons? The cost to drop the tank will shock you. I've seen folks do this same cut out job on Mazda's to also avoid having to drop the entire tank to replace the pump.
+paul larson Many do have an access panel actually, like the 90's Dodge Intrepids and Chrysler LHS series cars do, not sure about other makes. I'm not surprised that one would have to cut an access hole in a Mazda to change fuel pumps or sending units, Mazda and Ford used to be chained at the ankle, many of the Ranger pick ups were basically Mazda clones with different trim and engine options. Now if I had a tank full of stale or green gas I would drop it just to clean the sludge out.
+OlegKostoglatov A quick search revealed that this is being done on many different vehicle models....not just Ford/Mazda. I had no idea. From what I viewed it can create some structural integrity issues, particularly with pickups which have the tank under the truck bed. Like someone else commented on here, the manufacturers could easily do this. It's mostly about additional cost and the likelihood that the pump will fail years after the warranty expires.
paul larson Fortunately most pickups, even from the Japanese makes, have a full frame that runs from front to rear, so cutting a hole in the bed isn't likely to cause a structural issue. Mind you it could create another spot for dirt and water to collect to rust out the bed faster. In the older style pickups the gas tank used to be mounted right in the cab behind the seat, now most seem to have it just behind and bellow the cab. But on older vehicles the only thing that could go wrong in the gas tank was the sending unit or a plugged sock on the pickup, the fuel pump was on the engine. Getting back to Ford/Mazda products, Ford has been known to add some stupid and useless things to their vehicles. One of the more recent ones has been the so called "EZFill" filler neck on their gas tanks, which causes a problem if you have to add gas with a can. Apparently if this dumb gadget breaks, which it will since it's made out of plastic, it will cost you $350 to get a replacement from a dealer. All this just so someone can be bared the drudgery of pushing down and making a quarter turn on a gas cap.
shango, frequent viewer by the way. I appreciate your content immensely and i just stumbled here out of radio land....what became of this explorer? it seems to be an awesome find in this day and age, i do not own a car newer than '89 and enjoy working on these older workhorses that weren't designed as disposable items....well, at least not as disposable as they are now.. did she become your parts car?
The other problem(s) with the auto parts store include people working the counter with room temp IQ’s, the price point for Chinese or rebuilt stuff is insane & getting the correct part on the first try. Or if you can wait order on rock auto save 50% and 9 out of 10 get the right part.
Exploder is body on frame construction, so yes. For a MOT fail it would have to be unibody construction like the Jeep Cherokee for example. cutting a hole there may compromise body rigidity... (or maybe not :-) )
useing a cut off wheel ontop of the gas tank, prorbly not the route id have taken, but anyway, i've often wondered why there isnt an access hatch there from the factory
No. It's supposed to let you know you are about to lock your keys in and screw up. We live in our cars here, we have a lot of space to cover. Like me, I work out of my two vehicles. They are my offices on wheels, and so is my excavator.
+Steven King I have never seen that in a car in Europe they don't beep either when you remote unlock them, we are more bunched up over here and not big fans of beeping in the middle of the night.
+Steven King HA "fire up", gasoline!!! Shango needs an air nibbler, the proper tool for the job. Hay Steven, I saw that you liked a mouse trap vid that went viral, well over a million hits! Make a better mouse trap, and they'll beat a path to your channel! Um working on a trap vid now, hope to post it soon (when we catch that squirrel in our attic...) I'd love to see Shango's EOL rat trap! Don
i myself if i was working on it i would have dropped the tank rather then do any mods. i prefer most all cars to stay factory original especially all metal being original as possible or if it rusted the rusted metal replaced to factory spec. i am just that way i prefer factory spec when it comes to replacing thing s and factory spec to the way things are replaced and installed. i dont like having to know some car was hacked up just to replace a part i want to know it was done but never know or find evidence it was done. oh well thats just me ocd ha ha
Needs power steering fluid the quick bleed procedure is fill start turn the wheels all the way to one side shut off let sit for 5 minutes repeat turning the wheels to the other side. Don't use the cheap dorman thermostat housing go to fordpartsgiant.com dorman parts do not last
Result! I can remember hiring a car on my first trip to California and wondering how to silence that gong. And I didn't know you could turn right at a red light much to the consternation of everyone behind me. Stupid English driver. Willing you on.
Your rant at min. ~14 : Its even worse in germany. And most of the people are just like sheep...if someone does this or that the other one must do it too and if you say something you cant change their mind, because "everyone" is doing it like that in their opinion. Pretty anoying. I alway get "the look" on their face if they see my cars or my small inventory of tube televisions and radios. Repairing is a nono in most peoples mind - just throw it in the trash...
Very interesting and a novel approach. Kind of difficult to listen to because you sound like you're just plain pissed off. That aside, this is no job for your do-it-yourselfer. Well done.
Ding, ding, ding............So annoying! My car does it too when my headlights are on & the drivers door is opened at the same time. Can drive you crazy 😜😫😡
Basically just as bad on the long run. Engine is in choke mode most of the time, the fuel injection system injects excess fuel and this extra fuel washes the oil off the cylinder walls, which in turn makes for high wear of piston/rings/bores.
Engine in that truck reliable as the flames of hell. One of Fords best.

I took my sending unit apart and rewound it and it works but is not accurate but i know where its at.
I tell you, I really love my Explorer. It's worth your time and effort to keep and use this vehicle. No Note, lol
Great job great video info!! I hate that I reached old age and can't do the work anymore 😂😂😂
In the south, we still work on our own cars. Our stores are chock full of real tools and real parts. Even American made stuff!

I have a 94 and I have questions if you’re still active
You NAILED that.. Everything sold in the USA anymore is MEANINGLESS JUNK!
when you killed the beeper i was like YEAH YEAH !!
I'm amazed it ran as good as it did.
Loved the rant 14 mins in - it's the same in the UK.

So much work , more easy down the tank
Why not take the float off drain and solder the hole?

The end was the very best!! Ding, ding, ding, ding... SILENCE!!
In relation to the float, if it is brass and not plastic, why not place it in boiling (or very hot) water and watch for the bubbles. You could then drain and re-solder it.
forgot to mention most fuel pump manufacturers void their warranty on the pumps unless you have the receipt for the fuel pick up screen
Job very well done!
I'll hear that beeping in my sleep and wake up thinking it is the alarm clock.
great video.

Nice job on the pump replacement. Now if I can just get you to change that 17 year old oil.....

Pretty ironic the only gas in the tank was in the float......I guess I would call it a sink not a float. Really lucky the tank was empty.

Good Job !
It runs...
Great result. Did you do any prep at the engine end for the fuel system? I assume the engine is injection with the return line.
I know this is an old video, but why was the truck parked after only 6 years of service? (Please no ignorant comments of brand)
You should be a mechanic. But I understand why you might not want to. It's aggravating work.
how much work would it have been to take the fuel tank out of the car? co's i would not of liked to cut a hole in the floor if i had to do that job.

did she become your parts car?
I think is better to take the tank down probably you save more time , cutting off that piece is good too but.
Whats leaking?Is it the front trans seal or the rear main oil seal?
Good video. Still driving the Fairmont? Haven't seen it in awhile
Ford used to sell those floats. If not any longer I'd see if a universal brass float (think marine) would fit.
The other problem(s) with the auto parts store include people working the counter with room temp IQ’s, the price point for Chinese or rebuilt stuff is insane & getting the correct part on the first try. Or if you can wait order on rock auto save 50% and 9 out of 10 get the right part.
what would cause the fuel pump fuse to keep blowing?
Thank goodness some of the auto part stores now take EBT....
I guess!?
but will it pass its MOT with a big hole there?
Exploder is body on frame construction, so yes. For a MOT fail it would have to be unibody construction like the Jeep Cherokee for example. cutting a hole there may compromise body rigidity... (or maybe not :-) )
im about to do that to my 2001 ford explorer

On what planet is running a cold engine worse than overheating it
Basically just as bad on the long run. Engine is in choke mode most of the time, the fuel injection system injects excess fuel and this extra fuel washes the oil off the cylinder walls, which in turn makes for high wear of piston/rings/bores.
