- I've got a 2009 GMC Canyon and needed to replace the fuel pump. I thought I'd make a quick video showing how to do it. Here's a link to the pump I got, it came with the O-ring and seemed identical to the OEM one: amzn.to/3lnpGG7
And the lock ring: amzn.to/3trwXaI
I get a small cut if you use my links above. Hope they help!

Did you know there's no cabin air filter on these trucks? Check out my other video showing how to install an aftermarket one to keep leaves out of your fan and interior: ruclips.net/video/qgZKQM9OP6g/видео.html
Man I did this job less then a year ago on my truck. Don't skimp and get a lesser pump. I got one that was 140 dollars off Rock auto and the pump works great but the fuel level sensor is throwing codes which causes the truck to have hard start issues and the fuel gauge to report empty at all times. I just spent 200 to get the Delphi. Your would think I would learn, if it is a hard job splurge for the good parts from the start. LOL
Did your replacement fuel pump come with rubber feet on the bottom? I just got my replacement and it seems they're missing 🤦♂️
@@bradenremillard7228 Not even sure what you mean, I never noticed rubber feet on any of them, go figure. I can tell you that the replacement Delphi solved all the issues. My aftermarket slightly cheaper unit lasted all of 9 months before throwing engine codes for electrical issues from the fuel sender.
@@bradenremillard7228 I don't recall seeing any rubber feet on mine. The bottom of the pump has a castle-like pattern that needs to press against the bottom of the tank to filter out large particles. I can't see what purpose rubber feet would serve, seems like they could even cause a problem if they prevented the above.
Know this is an older video, BUT....
Just wanted to leave an FIY for anyone else watching and you Adam. At the 4 min mark, where your removing the fuel lines and the tool didn't work.... That blue part on the connector. Push both sides together with your fingers and pull the lines off. The blue SHOULD remain on the lines, and be removed AFTER the fittings off (has 2 hidden tabs made visible when the fittings removed, to get it off the line. This is essentially the "lock" holding the lines in-place and at the correct depth for the O-ring in the fitting to seal around the metal tube.
Slightly different and the slightly the same as the second, larger one.
Glad it didn't leak or break and worked out, but your VERY lucky it didn't go horribly wrong and needing a nylon line repair kit.
That said, nice video and well documented.
I didn't quite follow. In the video the blue DID remain on the line. Why would I then remove it from the line? Appreciate the time you took to write this up!
@@adamdport im trying to get mine off now, i think he means the blue part should remain on the fuel PUMP itself.
When you stuck the magnet into the tank to clear some of the debris my brain nearly exploded. Been trying to figure out how to get that stuff out needing to do the job on a partially full tank myself. Pretty obvious and simple solution but it had eluded me. Appreciate the tip.
If you've got a lot could probably use an aquarium net or something too. Glad it helped, good luck with the job!
Thanks, I have an '04 Avalanche and this actually helped me. I already cut thru my floor but couldn't figure out how to remove the rusty retaining ring and fuel line connectors because the tool I bought didn't fit... never occurred to me to just use a screwdriver - thanks again!
Just about to do this job on my 08 but unfortunately it’s a crew cab so I gotta drop the tank. But great video. Seems pretty straight forward.
I just completed this job on my 2010 Canyon Extended Cab. First of all the video is excellent and I referred to it multiple times during the repair. Here are the issues I had. 1st issue was the gas fill. It is a T30 torx bit. My screws were rusted in the fastner / clip and when they spun the clip that they were threaded into it destroyed the plastic portion of the gas fill. If there is any question of the screws not coming out, drill them out and replace them. 2nd issue was the electric connectors. In Adam’s video they popped right out but mine were stuck in there. On the connector on the drivers side of the pump, you need to stick a small screw driver into the forward side of the connector which should release the clip. I did not know this and I broke the piece of the clip that holds it to to the fuel pump. The 3rd issue was the bed was a-lot heavier than I thought. Start to finish it was about four hours. Also, I bought the removal tool for the ring that secures the fuel pump to the tank. I think it was worth it, but I still needed a hammer to assist it breaking it free. Thanks Adam for the great video!
Really appreciate your comment, and I'm glad you were able to work through the issues you had!
That was a good idea, sound like a junkyard shortcut. But it isn't as good as something I saw 1 time. I was roofing a house and looked down and saw 4 men with a mustang ,new transmission and a mattress, They flipped the car on the mattress, that was in a small ditch . They had the car on it's side then took out the old one out and put in the new trany in less than 1 hour.
Thanks for the video, have a 2011 with 80k miles I think that needs a new pump. Gotta love the rust belt
Rusty cars but no hurricanes, forest fires, or earthquakes. Sign me up.
What symptoms is the truck showing? I need to find if that's what My truck needs
Was looking for a guide this will work on the 08 colorado we have but will not work for a 04 Canyon with 4 full size doors because the pump is under the back seat instead of the bed.
Right I mentioned that in the beginning of the video. Is there an access panel under the seat or do you have to drop the tank?
Great work , this is the best video showing how to replace the Canyon / Colorado fuel pump . This will help a lot of folks out , me included . Just how many people does it take to lift the bed off without major difficulty ? Thanks , Adam .
I managed with just one neighbor's help but it's awkward and you'll both probably need something to stand on so you can lift with your legs. In a pinch you could probably jack it way up and then drive the truck out from under it.
I did mine myself. I wasn't worried about it being scratched or anything. Could use a cherry picker and ratchet straps
Great video
Great video. Concise and too the point. Thank You.
The fuel pump should have been built all the way with plastic which resist rust unlike the iron which likes rust. There exist a kickback between parts markers/suppliers and vehicle manufacturer.
Please help. I saw a video where the guy has the truck on then takes off the fuse to the fuel pump and the truck dies I guess he does this to make sure the system is off not sure but I did the same thing I took off the fuse then I put it bk on to move the truck. My truck does not start or anything it just makes a clicking noise when I turn key to on position, I have electricity so not sure what happened
I have a quick question…should a dealership charge me extra if the gas filler neck also needs to be replaced if I supplied them with the replacement part?
Yes. Even if they remove the bed (which I doubt they do since they have lifts), the filler neck still isn't fully detached, and will still require some additional labor to replace. Shouldn't be much though.
4.3 For life 💨💨
I live in Minnesota just curious if you do as well. The video was a big help you saved me a lot of money. Thank you alot you video was very descriptive.
Nope, NY. Glad it helped!
Running that heat gun was risky cause a lot of those leak gas fumes
The locking rings on my tank are shot. :(
Please, at what age , or mileage this fuel pumps start failing? Please someone help. Thanks in advance.
i just pulled my 2007 fuel pump rotted what number are the quick connects so i could order some and my fuel pump was glued on i did not see a o ring on 2007 colorado
The connections are part of the fuel line, is that what you meant? Here's an affiliate link to a replacement fuel line: amzn.to/4bo1xHW
Do you have to?
Bleed air out of the lines to get the Truck to run right.
No, but it'll take a couple extra cranks to start it the first time.
So I’ve taken the bed off the trunk and ready to go ahead and do the rest the only thing I’m concerned about is any particles of rust getting in the fuel line. I’ve seen another video where they drop the tank and then clean the tank out very well. In my case I would have to sphion the fuel out. I guess I’m asking should I be concerned about any particles in terms of delivery from the fuel to the engine.
Yes you should definitely be concerned. If anything gets in that line it could turn into a major headache. That being said I'm less concerned about stuff in the tank since there's a filter/strainer built into the fuel pump. But you should definitely be careful when removing the output line from the pump and make sure there's no debris in there before sliding it onto the new one. If you have the time/means/patience to drop the tank and clean/rinse it then it certainly can't hurt.
@@adamdport appreciate it
Hey Adam I have a question what is easier dropping the tank or removing the truck bed?
With the bed off you can work really comfortably and take your time, can address any rust issues on the top of your frame and under the bed, etc. If you drop the tank, you'll be flexing your fuel lines and will have to work on the ground a lot, and you might have 100lbs of fuel in your tank, but you could probably clean the tank out better than I could. If you end up dropping the tank could you leave another comment letting the next guy know which way you'd recommend?
Is it really easier than just dropping the fuel tank? Seems dropping the fuel tank would be easier that you can do yourself and you won't have to worry about scratching up the back of the cab or the box. Just curious.
Hard to say! Removing the bed gives you better access to the top of the frame and bottom of the bed for rust treatment. Dropping the tank might be faster if the hardware holding it up is in decent shape. I had a second vehicle and all the time in the world, and also didn't have a RUclips video to watch to show me what I was getting into. If you end up dropping the tank, could you reply again with your thoughts to help out the next guy?
@@adamdport Will do!
Hey Adam one more question, is it difficult to remove the bed? How many bolts? Because my fuel pump went out a week ago
I talk about it in the first 20 seconds of the video, you'll probably need a friend to help you lift it off but in a pinch you could maybe hoist it up and drive out from under it
Feel like the filler neck would be a pain
@@patrickbierley2418 iirc it's just 3 screws that you can access just by opening the fuel door. It's just on a rubber hose so you can bend it out of the way.
thank you, Adam!
I replaced the fuel level sensor on the fuel pump. When doing so i think i left some debri in my gas tank because now im getting a p1174 code which is dirty fuel injectors. very unfortunate.
Sorry to hear that. Possible cleaner will break it down after a few tanks' worth? I like Castle's "fireball" cleaner but it's hard to find. Ace Hardware carries it locally, not sure if anyone else might. Let me know if it works.
@@adamdport I'm really hoping that's what will happen before I have to replace the injectors. I've ran 1 bottle of techron through and I also have some seafoam, I'm going to give it a little time and then maybe bite the bullet. Ill check out the Fireball cleaner.
Could the heated blower be good on a leaking gasket ?
No. If you're talking about the o-ring under this fuel pump then you'll either need to replace the o-ring or if it's new make sure that everything is clean.
How'd you do the bed part ?
I had my neighbor help-the two of us just lifted it straight up and walked it backwards. It's not light but it's manageable.
Does this help the fuel gauge
Yes. Before I replaced mine the gauge would show 3/4 after I filled it up. The new pump fixed the issue as it has the sensor built in.
Last time I replaced the pump I dropped the tank. I think I'm going to take the bed off this time. hopefully it's not too heavy and I can muscle It off by hand.
I'd try to get a friend to help. Even aside from the weight it's really awkward. Or if you have something you can park under, you could hoist it up and then drive out from underneath it.
Thanks for sharing I finding your video very helpful
Me too !!!
Great video helped a lot thank youu 😁
Great video, bro.
Where did you get the pump from? I have a 2010 that I think is needing one. I found them at Autozone, but $289 was the cheapest
I got this Bosch pump on Amazon, it seemed identical in every way and came with the o-ring amzn.to/3lnpGG7
@@adamdport thank you. Any other tips for the job?
@@michaelpane901 Do it on as empty of a tank as possible so you can do a more thorough job than me of cleaning out the tank! Also if you're in the rust belt, it might be a good time to replace your fuel filler neck before it starts leaking. If you're removing the bed like I did, you might want replacement bolts, mine were fairly rusty. It's also a good time to go nuts with the fluid film on the underside of your bed and the top of the frame, and feel free to lubricate everything around your spare tire setup. Saving a lot of money on this job, treat yourself to a nice dinner when you're done!
I forgot to suggest a new lock ring too, only $10 amzn.to/3trwXaI let me know how it goes!
Already had it delivered. Lol and getting the fuel pump today, so we shall see
My 06 Colorado the fuel pump was under the cab it is a crew cab
0:27
I've seen sparks come out of those types of heat guns. Just saying.
Nice video. Wished that you showed how you removed the cargo box too?
Can you do one with a Fuel Filter pls ?
Afaik the fuel filter is built into the pump assembly on these trucks-there is no separate filter to replace
Fuel filter on my is just In front of the tank
Is this why my 2010 canyon is consuming so much gas????
If you smell gas, maybe. Otherwise probably not. Does your temperature gauge show normal? Any CEL? Are any of your wheels warm to the touch after driving?
@@adamdport smells like gas on start up only no temperature gage stays in the middle
What were your symptoms of a bad fuel pump. mine seems like it doesn’t have throttle and doesn’t run.sometimes other times it ran ok . Im using fuel pump replacement, and a last resort.
What made u feel like u needed a new fuel pump what are some of the signs I have a 2012 with 111k miles 2.9
My fuel gauge would only show 3/4 after filling up. I removed the bed expecting to find a wiring issue but saw how rusty the pump was and decided to replace it. But other symptoms could include lack of power, rough idle, intermittent starting, CEL, etc
@@adamdport p0171 is the cel that just came on yesterday but also I did just notice the small air hose that goes from the top of the engine to the air intake was unplugged so I'm hoping that's the issue
@@vittoriosantiago could be! If you remember, please report back whether it worked or not to help out the next guy
@@adamdport it went off so must of been that lil hose
You should have taken the time to look up how to remove the lines on youtube before you started
The car ran for little bit and on I turned car off and let it sit.now it want crank
Could be a dead battery? Or maybe you didn't tighten the battery connections when you finished?
@@adamdport it turns over .it ran for about 30 minutes and I turned the car off.smells like it’s leaking gas
@@randywebb5296 dang sorry to hear that. Sounds like you didn't get one of the connections back on quite right. If the connection got damaged while removing it you might need to replace the line amzn.to/3tOq3z9
@@adamdport it was the clamp on one of the hoses .the end was still on other pump. Thanks for your information
The colorado has the worst fuel pump top is really cheap horrible rusty
Why did you cut out the section at 9:30? That’s quite a critical step. Mega thumbs down
Honestly the battery died in my camera. I've since invested in extras. Sorry about that!
8:50 shop-vacs and flammable vapors dont play well together for the same reason you disconnected the battery. Maybe not the best idea while standing over 19gallons of gasoline.
That is like picking up spilled gunpowder with a vacuum sweeper. The motor brushes inside the sweeper have sparks flying around.
Awesome video man. Appreciate it.
