Straps to lower the fuel tank. Simple and BRILLIANT! I have been reading up on ideas on how to man handle the job and all seem to 'over-engineer' the project. Your method is perfect! Thanks for the inspiration!
I got one of my 2 25 gallon tanks down yesterday, still one to go. Think I will switch to the ratchet straps for the other one and see how that works out. Great info Rufus N Dufus. Thanks for the insight.
Thanks for the ratchet strap idea, I just installed a new fuel pump and this helped so much putting the tank back in ppace
You got the right idea, --- I am pulling one at present and I have the smaller straps and used 4 smaller straps which is easier to handle. I also double my straps as I am putting them on, - I mean I put the strap up to hook up an then run the strap over the other side -- and back through the hook loop, and then you have double the leverage and easier to handle! Glad you figured the straps out! much easier and as you say - one person can do it! Thanks, and glad you got it running!
Love the can do, simple, will do attitude. Gods help the future generations ☺️
Impressive Chico - great video and funny too. Can't wait for part II.
Great ingenuity!! Rachet straps and come-alongs solve a multitude of problems when you are working by yourself.
+Roger Fell Very handy stuff to keep near by.
I made a door hatch in the floor for straight down access.
The straps are a great way to do that. I did it with jacks on a car and didnt feel safe. I also did it twice. Once with some gas in tank and once with no gas. I found it easier with some gas in the tank as it raised back up and stayed in position better because of the weight. Love the videos Chico , keep them coming.
+Dan Owen Thank you! The straps worked very well!
Good work man...looks like a very controlled way to drop the tank.
+boat6868 It worked very well!
You gave me an idea on where I can find the fuel pump location. Above all you are funny. I enjoyed watching your video. Thanks
Thank you Brother awesome. God bless you and yours. I have a 78 Winnebago Brave
I have a 78 Dodge f40 sportsman have you had to change put your fuel tank?
we're here watching because we luv you.
+SKPjoe Coursegold Thank you!

+Judy Craig Thank you!
chico haa that's dope thumbs up bro
And here I was going to use a Jack like some kind of caveman. Thanks for the video brother
Brilliant idea, Well here,s wishing you a happy new year my friend, filled with good health wealth and good cheer. ALL THE VERY BEST TO YOU BOTH....Regards Bri
+brianfindsall Thank you!
Thanks just used this method to do my pump Made it very easy Thanks Again
My 1997 Georgie Boy Pursuit motorhome fuel pump went out due to the motorhome being stationary for 3 years. This video should help me replace it the most efficient way. Thanks.
Great idea Chico !
+ddm220 Thank you!
This ridiculous problem is why a lot of people put a trap door in the floor above their tank.
where is the video shows you strap the tank?
I feel like a complete idiot but how do you manage a controlled descent with ratcheting straps. once you release they would drop like a rock? Maybe two straps on the rear? Have one a little loose then release the one holding the weight and switch that up until you get down to where you need???
best tip OG brilliant
Hey I'm having the hardest time trying to find a new fuel pump /sending unit for my 1994 aerbus 3300xl. Where did you get yours from or could you point me in the right direction
Question: This video doesn't address the fill line and vent. I would have thought that those lines would need disconnected, and presume not since they not addressed. Is that the typical case? I'd like to change the fuel pump in my 2000 Ford E450 Gulf Stream. Thank you.
If its older like my 76 dodge Minnie Winnie. I was told replace mechanical pump. Did that still no gas. Is the sending in the tank responsible for pumping as well?
Hang in there Chico" you'll get Er' done buddy hey Happy New Year and who ever buys your rig is going to get a brand new trouble free home Koodos
+TheRooster1122 Thank you!
I’m not getting fuel to the filter, I’m using starting fluid to start it, it gets fuel after it runs a bit
Hi, did you have the part number of the Sendín unit?
Rufus I am glad I came accross your videos. I needed to drop my Motorhome 53 gallon fuel tank down and Had 40+ gallon of fuel in it and did not have the sources to empty it. I had 2 3000 lb. straps and was able to easily drop the tank down so I could replace the generator fuel line. Again thanks to you I was able to accomplish the easily and safely without spilling fuel or having to empty it out.
LeeRoy Howard I am so glad that I was able to help you out! I'm a little bit under the weather lately and I've had a long stay in the hospital. I hope to do more videos as soon as I get out and I'm able! 😀
where could i find a fuel sending unit for 1984 winnebago lesharo?
Hi l have a problem was wondering if you could please give me some advise with the generator fuel feed hose which hose is it on top of the fuel tank 2002 Southwind 8.1 workhorse 22
yup.
if you ever have to drain one of those tanks you can use the pump to drain it by turning key on an disconnecting fuel line an placing it in recovery container ( not in that order though ). you can send me a friends request if you have any further mechanical questions
+Danny Shermsn Thank you!

Hey I have a class A rexall air bus 460 it is back firein g thru the throttle body it starts up and I can rev it up most times while in park but when you put it in drive it sputers back fires I replaced the fuel filter and distributor cap and it is still doing it please help me if you can
Could be a bad Computer, I had the same issue with my Ford van replaced everything from rotor caps spark plugs etc and it kept backfiring I couldn’t figure it out, so decided to try a different computer and that fixed the issue.
Any backfire through the intake is going to be electrical issue, anything through the exhaust is a fuel issue. I would check the distributor cap for a crack, corrosion, etc. if you haven't solved the issue yet. Then check the plug wires and plugs, then computer.
I got lucky mine was under the bed i cut a hole in floor
where did you get the sending unit?
Same question
Year make and model?? Thanks
Looks like a 1997 Damon Intruder M-321 with Ford chassis.
This video is acceptable.

I think you need to rethink selling that unit. If you get a smaller class C, you may have to go thru all this crap again. And I am not sure a class C is going to get much better mileage. Maybe a class B would. But used rigs have issues and getting thru them all is a chore. But with Guz you have done most of the fixes (just watch your old videos !). Just my two cents.
+Vader1957 I really think Rufus and I do not need that much room.

There are creatures in Florida that don't exist in the rest of the US. Fortunately most don't eat humans. Nibble a bit maybe.
+Bill Long Yes there are many varieties of critters here!
