I have a 2001 Chevy Suburban whose fuel pump requires replacement. Your video is the most-clear, easier-to-follow that I have found in RUclips. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to create it and to share your knowledge.
Thank you, it means a lot when my videos can be so helpful and appreciated🙂..im so glad to be able to help..thank you so much for the nice comment and for the support🙂
Great job . You sure know how those connectors work , they are a major pain for most of us . Good choice of fuel pump brand for replacement , most people go the cheap route and regret it later .
Thank you🙂
This is a great how-to! No BS to start off with. Just great advice with excellent image capture and commentary explanation. Thank you for this!
I am on a very long road trip very far away from

Thank you🙂 i really appreciate it
Well done. Covered all steps. Informative in every way. Hands of a pro.Thanks.
Thank you so much..comments like these mean so much to me🙂 really appreciate it
I have a family member who has a chevy silverado and his fuel pump needed to be replaced so he went to a mechanic and charged him over 700$ which is way too much and absolutely not paying that much
I have a chevy avalanche 2002 and my fuel pump also needed just recently did and it's worked just wanted to thank you for all of this videos it's has helped me a lot fixing my own cars and saved a lot of money and this time over 700$
Yea that can be an expensive repair...great job on the replacement🙂👍...so glad to be able to help
060922 Chevy 2002 Avalanche series 1500 developed a fuel leak and having difficulty taking off the "vapor canister?" before lowering the Fuel Tank. Last night, I came across your video after searching and watching lots of video on fuel pump replacement. Your video is A1 EXCELLENT in instruction info on how to loosen those fuel connectors and electronic connectors. I will do fuel lines and fuel filter replacements too. Highly likely suspect the outside metal hoses of the fuel pump (feed/return metal hoses) are really rusted and leaking. Big job ahead too replacing the fuel lines after the fuel pump replacement. First time DIY!!! Also, the info on "fuel pressure needs to be restored" by doing several on/off ignition switching is way up there EXCELLENT. THANK YOU AND THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! God Bless!
Thank you🙂 yea definitely a big task...be careful and hopefully all goes well..good luck🙂👍
You make all your work look so easy. How many years have you been working on cars? I just watch your videos for the hell of it. You never know when you’re gonna appreciate one of your tips.
Well i really do appreciate it🙂 ive been doing it for 24 years..got a chevy nova when i was 14 and from there i just learned to do all i could off of it..then did it as a profession and then had to stop doing it to help my older parents and thats when i decided to start a youtube and show others
@@backyardchevy328 My first was an 67 Impala. I was 16 at the time. It was in 1976.I loved that car. Had it for about a year then some kid rear ended me. He did give me what I paid for it. I really liked the room I had when working on it. Cars were so much simpler back then. You open the hood and you could see everything. My Mom had a 71 Camero at the time. Used to sneak it out at night. I remember the speedometer read 180 MPH. I always wondered how fast it would actually go.
@@patsawyer3516 yea the space on those vehicles made everything so much easier to work on..my nova had only 120mph lol..unfortunately the needle bounces up and down when taken faster than 120mph
Have watch 6 videos about this and yours was the best by far. Thank you
I live in north Dakota. And nothing comes apart easy up here. Nice work!!
Thank you, been trying to fix my truck for two days
So glad to be able to help🙂 thank you for ur support
Thanks to this video i manage to change my pump
I’m a chef not a mechanic
Thanks a lot
Thats awesome🙂 great job
🎉🎉😅yeees thanks for this video!! When my gas tank level is lower I’ll let yall know how it goes! Wish me luck homies! Cold versus fuel pump versus me versus road salt versus ….tbc…
I messed mine up thanks for helping with video great tutorial
My friend coming over today help me fix what I jacked up I was trying to do it on
my own but if its your first time need someone to help you! Thanks
Thank you i really appreciate it, i hope you guys are able to get it fixed easily, good luck:)
Backyard Chevy THANKS BRO YOUR A PRO MAKE IT LOOK EASY!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😂
Backyard Chevy Thanks was able to put it back together Rule of thumb do this on a complete empty tank....Avalanche up and running now I know how much fuel I have contacted old owner he had avalanche never replaced pump so no need to replce sending unit replaced pump!!!👍🏽. Thanks your video is the most detail one on youtube!!!
Lol yea u definately want it as low as possible, unfortunately i started with a full tank and had to syphon half of it out just to feel it safe enough to do...Thank you i really appreciate it:)....and im glad u got it up and going:)
Excellent video, my friend.
Thank you.
Ok so now I know because I need to do the fuel tank pump this sat, since it died on me 2 time already. I'm stranded typing this lol. Good video on how to take it off step by step
Im sorry to hear that, it's a horrible feeling to be stranded, least my video is helping u pass the time🙂...hope ur able to get it done and back on the road..good luck🙂
@@backyardchevy328 yea it did help me pass time. got my other truck to tow it home thanks. I will be working on it on Fri night
@@GROMEXCR22 thats good, glad u got it home🙂
Great video ! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Thank you🙂
GREAT video sir! I just discovered a fuel leak on my '09 Avalanche and suspect the fuel pump assembly to be rusty and leaking (like my old '07 Envoy Denali). Anyhow, you just gave me the kick to try it out on my own as my mechanic is fully booked and I need my truck next weekend. Awesome video - and yeah, even if you speak fast I got it all. Thx again.
Thank you:) yea its probably gonna be a rusty assembly, ive dealt with a similar issue just recently too...i hope all goes well:) yea that was my fast talking phase of editing lol, ive fixed that in all my recent videos, its just part of the learning process of editing videos.
Pro tip: always siphon the gas from the tank before starting. This makes the tank lighter, and helps prevent fuel from spilling everywhere
Definitely...i had to siphon out more than half cause it was completely full when it went out.
I did this on a Chevy Truck, but I didn't have to remove the gas tank.. I unbolted and removed the bed from the frame and removed the old pump & installed the New Gas Pump on the gas tank & re-installed the bed. But on an Avalanche you have to take out the gas tank from below because the bed is not removable
i know Im kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Alessandro Draven lately I have been using FlixZone. Just google for it :)
Well done, very informative and good camera views.
Thank you so much🙂 really appreciate it
Like how you did your video man accidentally found it while hunting through RUclips you kept all the bullshit out of it awesome job.
Thank you🙂
Great video thank you.
Thanks so much for putting this together!
Glad to be able to help🙂 thank you for the support
Very well done, no bs!
I'm doing this an even easier way - getting a different tank from a salvage yard, because I don't have a choice. My lock ring corroded and rusted right to the metal tabs on the tank. Tried a hammer and a chisel after a full day of soaking in PB blaster. A couple of chunks went flying. I put the hammer and chisel down and said "Okay - I'm done." Great video btw.
Yea ive seen some of these with really bad rust on em, glad i havent encountered one on the ones ive worked on
This is the first video I've seen where the fuel lines were disconnected at the front of the tank rather than at the pump before lowering the tank completely. My problem is that I'm leaking gasoline from the top of the tank. Truck runs fine but sometimes needs two tries to start it. Need to drop the tank to see what's up. Plan to have new pump in hand when I do. Very helpful video. Thanks
Thats usually a problem with the fuel pressure regulator..when the regulator doesnt hold pressure youll have to cycle key on and off a few times to build pressure back up..but unfortunately its located inside the tank part of that fuel pump module assembly
The reason u wanna disconnect the lines at the front of the pump is when u go to lower the tank it might pull and damage/kink the lines, so if u disconnect it from there u avoid the risk of damaging
@@backyardchevy328 Where steel lines connect to plastic lines at front of tank is rusted and seems impossible (well difficult) to remove. Turns out there is a whole in the line going to the filter. Need to replace all of the lines. After looking at the lines and reading lots of posts I decided to pay a guy $400 to do the job for me. I'm an apartment dweller and have no place to do the work that might go on for several days off an on. I changed my own brake lines a few years ago when I had my own driveway but this looks more difficult and dangerous because the the fuel. Thanks for your help.
Problem is fuel line leak. Thanks@@backyardchevy328
@@rebinny Very understandable, it is quite dangerous and u got to take a lot of precaution...yea some places have more rust than others, luckily the one i did, did not have much rust..but yes i have encountered some very rusty lines and the rust does make things stick.
thanks for the video,, great lighting and focus ,, and thanks for explaining all the details ,,both big and small
Thank you, it really means a lot to me🙂
Bro u made the vapor canister removal look so easy. Those damn hoses wouldn’t come off supper dried out and the last little hose was the hardest..thanks for the video tho
Some do come off easier than others but i believe one did crack on me...but yea i do remember the smallest one being hard to do as well
Excellent presentation!!
Thank you🙂
Thanks for your time making this. Very helpful, why would anyone thumbs down this?
Thank you🙂 Not sure but would be nice if a dislike came with a reason, least i would know why lol
Because he forgot to put the fuel strainer on the new one.
It is MANDATORY.
heck, he could have used the old one. But preferably a new one is recommended
Going to be helping a friend replace his tomorrow, thanks for the great tutorial! Very informative and I even was able to take notes lol. I guess only "complaint" is maybe slow down talking a bit but other than that it was a very informative and extremely helpful video! You got a new subscriber (:
Thank you so much, hope all goes well tomorrow🙂...and thank you for the support i really appreciate it
Can you get back on how it works out for you? I'm giving it a shot after Easter.
@@rebinny it went well, although we only had 2 Jack's so we had to belly crawl under the truck with like 1 inch of clearance between my face and the rear dif when I was removing the rear hoses lol. Bu this video was rather helpful. But for dropping the gas tank down we only had 1 Jack and luckily the tank was nearly empty, so we put it in the middle and I was under the driveline and wiggled the tank out from the lip of the support bracket and it dropped down. Isnt too hard, but might want to replace the fuel filler hose that connects to the tank if its rotten or just for preventative maintenance.
Very helpful thank you !!!
Thank you:)
Best tutorial hands down!
Thank you so much, really means a lot to me🙂
Been looking for a good tutorial for two weeks, this has been the best on of all much appreciation!
@@fatheadfathead2708 Thank you🙂 Im so glad to be able to make a video that can be helpful to u and many others🙂
Big thanks for the video, it helped me a lot doing this job... It was not super easy though. If I had to redo it I would only lower the rear part and change the pump under the car...
Thank you🙂 thats what i normally do too..but for video purposes i would never have gotten good views if i changed it underneath
@@backyardchevy328 I understand. Nevertheless it was super helpful. I got a 2002 Avalanche from a friend at a super cheap price because its pump was dead. I saved a lot of money doing the job myself too. Overall a good car for a good price and some adventure under it!
@@SilentScreamer413 thats great! Yea definitely does save a lot of money being able to do repairs urself
The cameraman or carmerawoman was great .
Thank you 🙂
Wow best video on RUclips for fuel pump for avalanche, I'm doing this job now on my 03 and I can't get the fuel lines off...it's my first time so fear of breaking them is in my head lol I keep.watching your video to what you did.i have every thing loose except for the hoses and the fuel lines
Thank you🙂...do they rotate or move back and forth any, or are they totally stuck?
@@backyardchevy328 yeah I can get them to turn so much in either direction but when I try to press in to pull it off idk if I'm in the wrong spot or what...
@@kylosolo8815 yea then its probably one side of the clip still grabbing..usually one side will easily disengage but the other wont want to..u can try a screwdriver to press in on the bigger opening part of it while u hold the other just to see if they both disengage..once the clip releases usually the hose just pulls off pretty easy as long as it rotates..if u do got someone who can help u..u can use 2 flat screwdrivers..press in on the clip from both ends of the square opening while someone just holds the line pulling back..moment those clips release hose..the hose will move back enough to be removed
@@backyardchevy328 ok thanks man i really appreciate your help my brother in law gonna come and help me out
@@kylosolo8815 anytime..good luck..i hope your able to get em off
I'm afraid I will have to do much of this just to get the bolts for the midgate drain assembly on my O4 AVY. it really bugs me that they didnt weld the nuts to bed in a place which is under the fuel tank. This was a great vid thanks.
Thank you:)..yea its a lot of work to do to get to those bolts
Engine oil is a lubricant….nice vid
Thank you🙂
Great video. Very helpful!
Thank you🙂
Pretty smooth bro i like it
Thank you🙂
Great video, thanks for the help!!!
Thank you🙂
Very well made video. Very detailed.
Thank you so much
Nice work
Thank you🙂
Excellent !!!!!Thank You!!
Thank you🙂
Wow, great video!!! Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you🙂
Thank you for this perfectly done video detailing the fuel replacement.
Thank you sir
So what happens if the whole frame perch for the straps is rusted out and busts out around the nut and bolt? Now what new frame perch? Can a guy buy those somewhere?
For silverados they do sell the strap assembly with the bracket but for avalanche's unfortunately either gotta fabricate something to work or maybe the section can be cut off and welded from a good donor...as far as i know they dont sell em but if it is that common of an issue maybe someone makes it.
fantastic video Backyard Chevy !!! I am attempting this on my 02 2500 8.1 Avalanche. Hoping it goes as well as your video although I suspect there are some subtle differences in year and model to make it difficult
Thank you so much i really appreciate it...i hope its not so different and it goes smooth
Dealing with an 8.1 now as well. Is the pump in the same location? Haven't tossed it on the lift yet to take a look.
very good job with this vidieo!
Thank you🙂
Can you please describe specifically where on the truck this is located.
Hey bro im about to do this on a Caddy Escalade 2003 soon what would be the price for fuel pump assembly?
Wow! The only 2001 Chevy Avalanche in existence! Lol, the first model year of Avalanche was 2002. Good video anyway.
Lol..did i say 2001? 🤦♂️ well i guess technically they are built in 2001 but yea that was a mess up
@@backyardchevy328 They were actually built in 2001 for the 2002 model year. I was just giving you a hard time and knew what you meant. Thank you for showing how to change the pump.
@@prescottsims245 yea i know lol..thank you🙂
May I know what kind of lubricant do you recommend for that black ring? Can I use dielectric grease? My car is different, it would be green o-ring (Fuel tank lock o-ring). So do you recommend to grease every o-ring, or it depends on the car model? Thank you for the film, it is very informative.
Definitely not dielectric since thatll damage o rings over time..youll wanna use a silicone lubricant grease...some actually will say o ring lubricant grease
Is this the flex fuel pump or gas only pump?
How the pump so far?
Dude i had volume at max but had a hard time hearing you
You did not replace the sock (filter) on fuel pump. Unless the new pump does not require one, but that really would be strange as there is no other fuel filter! But other wise, good video!
Hey man, very helpful video, but one question,
I noticed after you put the new pump assembly in you didn't have the fuel strainer/ fuel sock on the bottom, I ordered the same Delphi unit you have that didnt come with one, have you had any issues running without the fuel strainer?, or do you know where I could order one?
Thank you🙂 its a new design, i believe i show the paperwork in the video where it says its a new design that does not use a fuel strainer sock it has one inside the unit
@@backyardchevy328 Ok, thanks for clearing that up
Awesome
Thank you🙂
ليش ماركبت فلتر الطرمبة
I like your video very professional. I have Chevy avalanche 2007 you think it's the same way. ? Thank you.
Thank you so much🙂..the fuel tank lowers the same way but the fuel pump is different, theres a hose that connects to fuel pump assembly on the inside for the 07s and newer.
@@backyardchevy328 thank you so much. God bless you.
First you put the clips on the new pump and then later on they ended up in your hand and you put them on the line first with no explanation why... ???
Those clips holdind lines to. Charcoal canister are pain in the ass!!
Yea they are especially if ones cracked, u gotta use a pick to lift each side to separate the canister from hose
@Roger Brown Goin through this now can't get them loose
I need replace the fuel line(small leak) but it will get worse considering lines are pretty rusted between fuel filter and spot where u disconnect them. I just couldn't figure out how you get to disconnect it before dropping a tank. I mean there is hardly any room in there to squeeze in your hand and see what you doing at same time. Am I missing something? Also how do I release pressure from fuel lines before I disconnect them? (2002 avalanche 1500). Thank you
I was laying down horizontal to the truck where the connection was and if u kinda sit up where the connection is, that's where i was able to look and record where the connection was and reach in....to release fuel pressure with the truck running u can pull out the fuel pump fuse..that will cut off the fuel pump and use up the gas in the fuel line relieving the pressure..although they will still have fuel, it wont be under pressure this way.
You didn't even put the strainer on the new one before you installed it.
Very bad decision
Yea it should be replaced..im surprised that i didnt..must of been for some other reason
Didnt know Felipe Esparza was a part time mechanic lol
Me neither lol
Where did you get the pump from
Autozone or O'Reilly..i get em locally cause of their warranty..if it has a problem i can exchange it
@@backyardchevy328 ok thank you
How come you stuck the new fuel pump in there without a new screen. That little sock fuel pump was supposed to be on the new fuel pump with a new one. That was a rookie mistake
Actually on that fuel pump design it had no need for an external strainer per instructions
Is this a flex fuel pump?
No its a standard fuel pump
@@backyardchevy328 thank you
Did it the hard way bud no need to remove the tank just cut it on top where is the pump and remove the pump easy
Yea an access panel would definitely make it a lot easier, i did that on a trans am recently.
That pump is junk
voice is so garbled -
Yea had to work on my voice, and unfortunately cant go back and redo my older videos where my voice narration wasnt as clear as now

Video actually might be worth something if you're not talking so fast or if it doesn't sound like you got a mouth full of rocks. Remember just because you know something or know how something works the whole point of making a demonstrating video is to go slowly and explain things for people to understand how to do it correctly and safely
Yea its something ive been working on, ive noticed that on some of my older videos as well that i speak too fast, but i think ive done a lil better on my more recent videos.
Seems just fine to me fuck the haters
Thank you so much:)
@@backyardchevy328 Good video man. Fuck Jeff
