Oh, so you remember to dain the fuel tank when you have to lift it out. But conveniently forget when i have to lift it out. Re: one yellow Scoupe haha. Bloody good walk-through mate.
That'll be helpful for a lot of people, kewl as, hate working on fuel tanks/filters like that, big pain in the backside. Sometimes I'd cut open the section above the tank and re-plate it when all done, so much easier. EFI sucks 😂
That was lucky...i got mine replaced a while back then on the farm i ripped a hole in the tank...so its in town now...if i had more workshop tools id do it myself...that looks easy..guess urs bè same as my vt wagon maybe??
hi mate..i hv a opel calais 1997 with a 2.6l v6 dualram(c26ne)..just wanna ask u about the fuel rail inlet and outlet return to tank lines..which is which?..cheers mate
Those quick connect fuel lines can be an absolute pain in the arse. My Disco is full of them and often in places where you can't get a decent grip to separate them.
I feel like car on jack stands and removing heavy items from either side is dangerous as weight could shift and car come off the stands.. Ramps for this I reckon
Hey Mate great videos! Can you do one on changing the entire tensioner unit as it's a bit tricky with the pipe running through it and no videos on RUclips on how to do it...
@@downtheshedwithbyron Hey mate! Gates and Dayco both make one at a reasonable price you can buy online I was thinking of one of those.... I've seen some mechanics stuff this job up because of the pipe behind the tensioner is a bit tricky......
@@downtheshedwithbyron by the way I used your video on changing the idler pulleys and belt to help change them on my Ecotec turned out great car is running great. That video was really good and explained everything nice and easy and clearly I'm sure it is going to help lots of people 👍great simple to follow to tutorial
I’ve just done my fuel pump and my fuel sender is saying I have a full tank, dose the fuel sender have to sit in a circle inside of the tank is that why it’s playing up?
Need ur help I have a vz 05 5.7liter 6speed sedan car ran then stops so chanced fule fitter it runs an lease than 2 or 5 seconds stops running wood my fule pump have shit it self
Set fire to it. 😂😂 just kidding 30yrs from now all the gronks in thier red joggers will be grown up and paying mental prices for that as they thrashed one in thier prime. Like we did with falcon coupe's and Monaros..
As least the newer cars have plastic tanks, had to do a fuel pump on a VN v6 that sat for 9 years. Not too sure what science experiment was growing in the tank. 😱😱🤮🤮
Typical Holden BS when you have to pull the whole tank out to get to the fuel pump. Other cars have an external fuel pump like my Mercedes or you lift the rear seat & go through the floor. BTW, instead of stuffing around trying to get the fuel lines off, there is a special white plastic remover that simply pushes the fuel lines off the connector on the pump!

I feel like car on jack stands and removing heavy items from either side is dangerous as weight could shift and car come off the stands.. Ramps for this I reckon
Yeah fair call mate
But the fuel tank doesn't weigh much
Its plastic

Yeah i probably can
Have you got a brand you are thinking of buying or ebay special

Is the vr commy the same as vy or different to get fuel pump out ?
Same ish but from memory hose clamps
Let me know how you go
Yo. So what was the solution to fixing the fuel gauge still saying full? Im in exactly the same situation now having changed my sender unit.
This is what i found
ruclips.net/video/BTQfgS1eneg/видео.html
what is safety mode i put a low k 77 k transmission in ours still same
Not sure mate sorry
I’ve just done my fuel pump and my fuel sender is saying I have a full tank, dose the fuel sender have to sit in a circle inside of the tank is that why it’s playing up?
The pick up eg bottom off the assembly sits in that
So would my best bet be to take the fuel pump out and make sure it’s sitting in the egg?
You don't have to pull tank out just make sure earth is put back in near the fuel filler and rear right hand mount
Oh sweet ill try that
@@downtheshedwithbyron no worries mate it happened to me before
Need ur help I have a vz 05 5.7liter 6speed sedan car ran then stops so chanced fule fitter it runs an lease than 2 or 5 seconds stops running wood my fule pump have shit it self
Gday mate
Now im guessing youve got fuel that the filter is on the right way and can you hear the pump prime before you try and start it?
@downtheshedwithbyron yes it primes runs then lease the 5 seconds later shuts down
Set fire to it. 😂😂 just kidding 30yrs from now all the gronks in thier red joggers will be grown up and paying mental prices for that as they thrashed one in thier prime. Like we did with falcon coupe's and Monaros..
Yeah the cars ive already scrapped i wish i kept HT and HG Premiers HQ Devile Statesman VC SLE man the list goes on
Not a stubbie in sight, you crook? 🤣😏

Haha yeah it would of been interesting
Ive got the tank back out testing and check the sender at the moment
mate you did it all wrong, jusr grab a grinder or tin snips and cut a hole in the floor above the fuel pump.
If it was the derby car hell yeah
