Plus a Fred Meyer, and a Target & Wal Mart - not to mention a half dozen tire & alignment shops. It’s car-part heaven :)

    Advice: While you have the gas tank dropped, take a second and check your filler neck gasket/grommet. On most Mustangs in the 1994-2004 range, you have to drop the gas tank to change that gasket. Save yourself the time and check/replace it while you're doing the pump. That way you don't have to drop the gas tank a second time like I had to. The grommet is located at the base of the filler neck. It's a rubber donut on the side of the gas tank.
    Driving around with a failed filler neck grommet will prevent you from getting any more than half a tank of gas; the rest will spill out. You will literally dump fuel out of your tank when you take a hard left turn. If you choose to replace it, make sure get the right one. The grommets are separated by year ranges: 1981-1997, 1998, and 1999-2004. You read that right. The grommet for 1998 Mustangs is exclusive to only 1998 Mustangs. It will not fit a 1999 nor a 1997.
    Thanks for the video, Chris. Got a cheap 1998 Mustang from a friend. It wouldn't start and had sat for 3 years. A few hours and a new fuel pump later, it started right up.

      @RcFlashlight 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I wish I had read this when I was doing work on my car. Although it is a 1977 LTD, it does have one of those filler neck grommets. I had to get a new gas tank for the car, but it didn't come with one of those grommets and I thought it would be fine. As soon as I filled it up to the top, it starting leaking. I probably lost $30 of gas just because of that. Now i'm gonna have to drop the tank again pretty soon.. :(

    You’re a great teacher, Chris. Even though my 97 Malibu is slightly different, you gave me some good pointers, like marking the mileage on the filter, and the pre-tests.
    Long story short, I couldn’t change my filter because the disconnect was bent inside, so I cut the fuel line thinking I could repair it - I was wrong.
    Dropping the tank like you did was way easier than trying to heat & fix the line, only for it to leak tragically.
    The good news is that a fuel filter change quote was $60, but a new pump assembly with all new fuel lines cost $100 - so all in all it was only a $40 mistake, plus the old pump works fine and while it’s out I’ll have the time to learn how to make a new fuel line & have a spare fuel pump ready to go if I need it.
    The experience of changing the pump is worth even more, and in many ways.
    Thanks, Chris!

      ChrisFix - Thanks Chris, My car’s back on the road. I considered cutting a hatch while the tank was down but decided against it. If anything goes wrong, I’d prefer any leaking fuel and fumes to remain outside of the car.
      This was a brutal job, and I did it in the cold, but I did it right & it’s done.
      Suggestion for Christmas this year: a professional pneumatic factory hose clamp plier tool. Best tool I ever owned. Removed the vapor canister and made the whole job easier. Replaced a burst coolant hose last summer in minutes flat. Great tool.

    Chris we have learnt so many things from you. We really appreciate your efforts. This is one of the few videos where you replace the actual fuel pump as most videos just show changing the entire assembly. For the price sensitive DIYer or small garage this is a very critical thing to know that you can change just the fuel pump motor and save some money if it is only the pump that has failed.

The only visual damage I remember was a broken rear bumper (again, that was like 18 years ago) and the car wouldn't start afterwards (Ford Mondeo/Contour).
      Fun fact: The guy that rear-ended us was an insurance broker working for the same insurance company that we had our car insured at ^^

    I love that you use hand tools so that people at home don't feel intimidated by the process and think that they need a bunch of fancy (and expensive) power tools. Great video! Luckily I can get to my tank and pump just behind my rear seats. It's essentially the same pump as the drift stang, but has a different connector. I've changed it a few times, trying to find the best one for my car. A little bit more GPR/LPH ended up giving me more power over the stock pump, since it's a return style system and doesn't waste fuel.

  • @tdfpublic886
    @tdfpublic886 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Over all this was a great video and you showed a couple of troubleshooting tips I didn't know about. There were also a couple of problems with this video. 1st, Never lift a fuel tank with just a floor jack. I learned this lesson the hard way. Just like a transmission, the fuel tank can be damaged when using a regular floor jack. Either use a piece of plywood or a transmission jack. I dropped my tank on an old GMC Sierra to replace my fuel pump using a floor jack. After that I was replacing the pump every 3-6 months. I also started having weird fuel supply issues. ~$1,200 later I found out why. Many fuel tanks have baffles spot welded inside the tank. Lifting the tank with a floor jack bowed the tank sufficiently to break one or more welds. After that, the motion of the gasoline broke whatever remained of the welds and then the baffle was constantly hammering away at the fuel pump. There is no way to safely and legally weld a fuel tank. It has to be replaced. I was fortunate to get a good used one for about $100. 2nd, always check the tank seal. If the seal is not good then you will not reach and/or maintain proper fuel pressure. This becomes a serious issue if you live in a state with strict emission control laws.

    @kristiinal.8537 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your videos are gold. So on point with great details. So my Mustang died on me, and no pressure in gas pedal at all. Started but died right off. Quick google search gave me options of fuel pump or MAFS failure. Your video confirmed that it wasn't a fuel pump because mine hummed. So next I was to check the MAFS. You can't believe what I found in my MAFS tube, big WD40 bottle 😱😱😱. Rest assured, after removing the bottle, the car started right away. I got my waterpump changed 2 weeks ago in a shop A. I don't see how they would have left that under the engine filter cover, since the waterpump change would not require removing that cover, but who knows. And prior that the car was in a shop B where it was maintained (filters, spark plugs etc) 7-8 months ago. At the time they did leave a tool under my hood and I had to go back, since the called looking for a tool and that for sure I was never returning to that shop B. So thinking that it's more likely that they left that bottle there too. What would be the chances that I get left items under my cars hood 2 times out of 2 visits in different car shops. But could that bottle really be sitting there so long without causing any problems!? Crazy...

    Just changed my fuel pump on my Mazda protege , I did this in 1.5 hours since my bolts were stripped . But I finished at 11:45 pm and have school at 7:30 am . Thanks Chris . Now I can get to school 🙂
