You're a genius. You just turned my no way I'm trying that into an I can definitely get this done project. You just saved people hundreds of dollars and we didn't even have to switch to Geico. I wish I could buy you lunch my friend. Please continue to do diy videos because you are awesome. I just subscribed. God bless you and stay safe.
🙏💛🐶✌
Thank you for making this video. I just replaced the fuel pump in my 2000 Marquis and everything is just like you showed. I used the car ramps for the back wheels, and then jacked up the rear frame slightly to reach that connector in the wheel well. A few things I will mention. First, make sure you take the old rubber gasket off the tank before putting the new fuel pump in which has a new rubber gasket with it. I didn't even notice the old gasket was still stuck to the tank because it was so sandwiched in but these alignment tits sticking up tipped me off after I had the new pump already pushed into the tank. Secondly, if you have braided fuel lines you need a special tool to release them from the pump. I didn't know this until I was under the car, so then I had to go to the parts store. Advance auto doesn't have them as loaners, you have to buy a set for about 15-20 bucks and then try a few to see which fits. Once I had the new pump in, it took a couple days for the fuel gauge to register in my dash. It registered half way even after I filled the tank and I don't know why but suddenly it started working and now its fine. Thank again for sharing this information, you saved me a lot of money by doing it myself.
It’s refreshing to see someone who knows what they are doing
Great video, quick, to the point and still covered the issues with this job......and no "HEY GUYS, today we're going to replace a fuel pump" run on diatribe!!
Will this method work on a 1988?
Soooooo TRUE!!! Or watching the trip to the store in between.
@@GraflexGuy would like to know myself !!
It should you just have to look and see if it looks the same
@@milfordtrethowan2474 it doesn't. The older models use a seperate pump and sending unit. The pump in the older models is in the back of the tank against the trunk, you have to drop the whole tank.
Great video straight to the point. With no flipping back story or comment about following your channel. Cheers up
Thanks for this video. Just ordered a fuel pump, going to try this method wednesday.
Once you get it up on the ramps and then you Jack the body up in the air you should be able to access the clip on top of the gas tank fairly easily with a long pick after you get that plug off it's easy
I agree with you. I have a 99 grand marquis. The exhaust pipe is not an issue, but those wires are difficult. I have not done this work yet. If I can get to those wires it will be easy.
lol, I misspoke at the end of the video, I ment "no removing the fuel tank"
Brian Mitchell is this the same on a 98 Lincoln town car ?
Brian Mitchell what kinda screwdriver you used
I don’t know if this is a dumb question or not but would the tank still need to be drained to do it this way?
A lot more simple than what some other videos show. Like cutting the wire rerouting it. Cool video.
Good stuff! Exactly what I was looking for
That other video I saw. I'd rather take the tank out then cut a wire and have to re crimp it. Awesome !!! Mind you, if I've worked on a particular car before, it takes me about as long to take the tank out as it does to take a tire off. Siphon the gas over to another container. Fix the problem. Eat lunch. Replace the tank. And siphon the gas back into the tank, while finishing lunch. But if I have to cut and re-crimp, I'd rather unclip & re-clip. Your, reverse engineering video. Well done. Done better.
👍👍👍👍👍👍the best thing i have seen
Bless you for figuring this out, man. I’m trying it your way. Sounds like my tiny hands will be a plus on this one👍
I just had to do one of these only took me about 30 minutes this time
@@BrianMitchell321 Yeah, I had to do mine twice. The one I got from effin’ AutoZone failed after 2 months. I’ll give them credit, they refunded me with no hassles. Much easier the second time. Your tips were the key, thanks.
If I might make a suggestion, my buddy and I made a tool out of a broken paint roller handle to get the top wiring connector. Cut it right at the end so it has a downward curve, gives you much more leverage to release the catch. I’ll make a short video of it if you want to see it.
@@corneliuscrewe677 good idea I use a long angled pick
@@BrianMitchell321 That’s exactly what we were looking for, he realized he left his at a job site. The broken paint roller was what we could find without going across town 😆😆
@@corneliuscrewe677 I make a new tool almost every other day
Much love bro.
Spank you.
Thanks For Your Time ; Helped Me !!
Well I don’t have jackstands even if I did the car won’t start so I cannot get it up on the jackstands I do have a nice floor jack for the frame fuel pump is out of my 97 mercury I’m currently in the parking lot of a apartment wet and cold so not the best location to work on one never seen it done like this I’ve been trying to figure out a way not to drop the tank because of those bolts hard to get back in
If you put the Jack underneath the rear differential and Jack it up really high you can get The car ramps under the car or you can set it on bricks if you have to then take the Jack out from underneath the differential and Jack the frame up and it will give you clearance
If you can get under it just by jacking the frame up really high and letting the tires hang down but get them up off the ground and put Jack stands under it you can get to it also
You just need it up off the ground high enough that the axle is hanging down and you can get under it
Thanks for the video. Is there an added benefit to raising the car on Jack's. I can get under the car as it is, but somehow finding it very difficult to get the pump out. It keeps getting stuck quarter way out of the 90 degree bend of pumps metal body. Wondering if raising on jack somehow creates more space? I have 97 grand marquis.
I think the one I was working on I put it on ramps so I can get under it then I jacked it up underneath of the tow hitch that it had on it to lift the body up off the axle and it gave me a lot of room
Bout to try this on my 04 town car.
So we don’t need this little special Ford tool I keep hearing about for the pump wire ? So I can literally just unscrew those bolts 8-10 bolts on the fuel pump ? And disconnect the wires ? And it will come right out ?
Yep
@@BrianMitchell321 ok and don’t I need to buy one of those fuel line discounter tools from autozone ? Is that what you used to disconnect the fuel line from the pump because you can’t just unplug it right
It's been a couple years I don't remember but if you have any push on pipe connectors then you need the release tool you can borrow those tools as loaner tools and return them
Great video... But I ran into a small problem, the connections on my new pump is bigger than my old pump... What can I do
They gave you the wrong pump
Thanks
I couldn't get the electrical plug that's jammed up there behind the wheel well between the gas tank and trunk floor, not even with an awl or small flathead screwdriver. I had to cut a square hole in the trunk floor to get access to that plug.
Most of those plugs you have to push in on the plug push down on the release and then pull it
@@BrianMitchell321 I know. I get the mechanics of how the plastic plugs work. I just couldn't access that plug on my car. It's a 2000 Lincoln Town Car. Like I said, I had to cut a hole in my trunk bottom. It sucked, but it worked. I was able to then freely access the top of the plastic plug in order to press down on the tab and unplug it.
@@SalandFindles hey buddy IAM getting ready to do this tommorow what kind of stone did you use to cut the trunk I think that was cleaver of you good call bro
Did you need any tools to get to that connector on top of the tank to push the tab down to disconnect it?
I use a long pair of needlenose pliers to push in on the connector then I used a long right angle pick to push down on the button on top of the plug and then pull the plug apart with the pliers they usually come off easier if you push the plug together before you push the button since it's a angled clip
Or if you have small hands you can reach in there and do it by hand
AWWESOME, thanks dude
Thanks man. I saw another video but its a bit different
2 issues - When I went to unclip at the wheel sensor broke. Got everything else ready to go. Am I going to have to go ahead and drop the tank to replace the sensor? Other issues is tanks full of gas, I looked into siphoning but have seen a couple forums saying these cars won’t allow it? Any advice? Do I need to drop tank to replace sensor and how can I drain 16gallons of gas out of this car?
Well I'm not sure on the sensor it's been a long time since I worked on that car but the only way to get the gas out of it is put a pan underneath the tank and when you take loose the fuel sending unit which is on the side of the tank halfway down the gas will come out and go in the pan
Will this work for a 2002 mercury grand marquis
What size socket did u use to remove that cover of where the fuel pump sits in
What was that first connection for cause my friend broke it trying to disconnect it
I'm not sure I think it might be a pressure sensor for the tank
F$#$ YES. Thank you!!!
Ok so I get it. But where you pointed about the bolts and such its pitch black. Lol I have to watch again....maybe Ill try slow motion.Lol
If you look you'll see the bolts the only ones there
Will it work for a 97 crown Vic?
I'm pretty sure it will you just have to watch the video then look underneath there and see if it looks like yours I'm pretty sure it's the same
I wish it were that easy to reach the connections. I have a 99 Grand Marquis and there just isn't enough space on that connection at the top of the tank.
It should be the same did you lift the body up? you have to back it up on ramps and then lift the body up a little bit with a jack
I have the same. 99 grand Marquis and those wires in the trunk you described are so small and so strapped down I don’t think I can give either a tug
You have to loosen them up
Like unscrew something or just pull on them? They don’t look strapped down to anything they more just look too short
@@NSPEnt whatever you have to do to get enough room just don't break them if you have to cut them just match the colors backup it's not difficult
Hi same on a 2001 ?
I'm not sure you'll have to look and see
I have questions what if my tank has almost a fuel tank can I still switch it ?
Well you can siphon it down below half a tank or you can just open it up and let it pour out into a catch pan or something
Mr. Fix-It Mobile preciate it
Mr. Fix-It Mobile so I had someone do it for me and he broke the sensor that goes to the tank how do I replace it and what happens if I don’t
What sensor the one for the fuel level if it's broken it needs replaced with a new one if you don't replace it you can't tell how much gas you have if it's the EVAP sensor it's going to keep throwing a check engine light until it's replaced it shouldn't cause it to run any different
Mr. Fix-It Mobile oh ok thanks and it’s the one on top of the tank by the tire the 1st connector to the fuel pump
news flash the 2001 top plug is a bitch its turned sideways ,you cannot get at that release on plug my mechanic gave me a good tip loosen the two strap nuts without takeing them off to lower the tank get a guy or girl with small hands to reach on top and press the release clip while pulling at the same time or wedge a screwdriver against clip while pressing clip .
Will this work on a 99 crown victoria?
YES! IT WILL WORK FOR THAT VEHICLE !
Watch Video By: 50sKid on RUclips , It's Same As 99 Crown Victoria
Brian Mitchell, would that same process work on a 1995 Lincoln Town Car??
TexasHarleyBoy65 not sure I can't remember you can look and see if it looks the same
@@BrianMitchell321 thanks. As soon as the rain quits and it warms a bit, I'm on it.
It's not difficult it takes you about 20 minutes to set up the Jacks and set it up probably 20 minutes to do the job you just have to make sure the gas level is below quarter tank or the gas is going to spill out when you open it because the pump is situated halfway down the fuel tank on the side, or catch it in a container when it spills out.
I just looked up both of fuel tanks for the two cars on Google and thier the same so, yes this process will work
@@BrianMitchell321, you the man!!! Thanks for going the extra mile to help me out.
Does gas tank have to be empty?
It has to be below half because the opening is in the middle of the gas tank on its side under the car
Thanks alot
has anyone tried this on a 97 town car
