*Disclaimer: Please use all safety precautions
I got a quote for ALMOST $1400 from Toyota of Berkeley, CA to replace the fuel pump and sending unit, parts were quoted at $468. After watching this clearly communicated video, I bought the pump on Amazon for $30 and swapped it out. Took me all of 2 hours. and required only 12mm and 14 mm sockets, 14 mm spanner, adjustable wrench, needle nosed pliers, phillips screwdriver, a hose and a gas can. I didn't find it necessary to remove the inner fender plastic on my 1998 tacoma. Thanks 2CarPros!
That's awesome! I love hearing stories like this one! You saved some serious cash! Thank you so much for watching!
When you live in an expensive area and need work done you bring it to a less expensive area for work, or ghetto area they work for cheap or search online for mobile mechanic they will do it for cheap.
someone just paid a;most 1000 dollar for the junk
how did you remove the gas?
Welcome to California!
My 1995 Tacoma, back in business, thank you- Jamaica
Real general mon
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to EXPLAIN HOW TO DISCONNECT the electrical connector on top of the tank. That’s one of the things I was trying to figure out how to do without breaking the connector.
Great video! Im glad they leave the camera on the simple things like disconnecting the hose to show how difficult and what to expect!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
From Puerto Rico, thank you so much for this video, perfectly explain in plain and simple english. Super way easier than i thought. I can do all this by myself. God Bless you. THERE IS SALVATION IN JESUS.
I replaced the fuel pump on my 97 Tacoma today. Took the bed lose and raised up the front of it and propped it up, changed it in thirty minutes. Hardest part is getting all of the air out of the lines, dont think its just gonna fire up right when you put it on. You will wind on the starter a million times before it will start sucking gas. Use starter fluid if needed. Running like a sewing machine, after leaving me on the side of the road last week lol. Tow dollies.
It would take me 30 min. just to get all the tools together. Did you take all the bolts loose and the gas filler hose? Did you need to remove the taillights? I have a '96 Tacoma. Is it best to disconnect the fuel line and turn the engine over to make sure it's the fuel pump? I mean it won't start unless I use some spray and I don't know what else it could be, lol. Thanks for any help. (Rusty)
@@dianakesl1814 Yes the filler hose is easy. I didnt have to unhook any tail lights I dont think. When you get to the pump get somebody to turn the ignition on and listen, it will buzz for a few seconds if it's good.
@@trent3872 Thanks for the info. I tried turning the key on and listening for the pump. Couldn't hear anything. I went ahead and dropped the tank from underneath. I've still got to take off the electrical plug and one hose and I can pull it out. Is it a relay in the fuse box? Should it make a clicking sound when the key is turned on? Thanks for your help. (Rusty)
@@dianakesl1814 Its a buzzing sound. More than likely it's bad.
Trent got the fuel pump in but can't get it started yet. Like you said it's a bitch to get fuel up to the engine. I had a hell of a time getting the strap bolts lined up. I've been crawling around under this truck for two days now. I'm too old for this shit and too broke to pay somebody else to do it. (Rusty)
One part he left out was to loosen the passenger side bed bolts (3 per side 17mm)
And remove the drivers side bed bolts. Lift the bed up and slide a pair of 2x4’s or a piece of 4x4 under the bed behind the driver rear wheel where the frame and bed touch. That makes getting it out, with the filler neck still on, a whole heck of a lot less fighting and cussing!! Don’t forget to remove the drivers side tail light and unplug the harness from the light, then push the harness under the bed to avoid possibly damaging the plug.
One other option, but not necessary, is to remove the rear section of driveshaft.
While it’s out, check the universal joints!!
And to think , it was so easy 40 + years ago when the fuel pump was mounted on the engine block , but this is progress 🤦♂️ , all auto manufacturers should have to have an access panel on the vehicle above the fuel pumps just for this reason ,$ 1000.00 plus in mechanics fees for a $30.00 pump replacement , ridiculous , A+ to the guys instructions on the replacement though 👍
Yeah an access panel would be really sweet. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros your video was great 👍 and very informative & TY for taking the time to make it for everyone to see .
Yeah I remember the old slant six. I had three different Plymouth Valiants with slant 6 motors. Great cars for knocking around. The fuel pump around $30 bucks and change it with a 1/2" wrench in 15 min. ( Rusty)
Your video was really really helpfull for me. I was able to solve my issue just watching this. Thank you so much
Thanks for watching!
Lisle makes a fantastic hose removal tool sort of like a pair of pliers with two flat pieces of metal for jaws with a V cut out on the top and bottom pieces it is very reasonable cost and will prevent destroying the hose ends used one for over 30 years and still have it in my tool box.
Good tip thanks for watching Ray!
Lisle makes a great set of pliers that removes the hoses without damage or strain and probably costs less than ten dollars, better yet mine are over 20 years old and never fails.
VERY NICE YOUR VIDEO HAS SAVINGS ALL OVER IT
That's the whole idea for my channel! :) Thanks for watching!
I find that it's alot easier to unbolt the bed and move it back about a foot exposing the the tank and where the pump assembly is saving the Hassel of dropping the tank!!
Taking the bed off is much easier
@Frank Stall . Saw a video on that, I love the idea. Save at least half a day for a beginner. Thanks bro.
You dont have to take the bed all the way off.Take out all bed bolts on fuel tank side ofcourse.Then loosen the other side leaving the bolts in,raise bed on drivers side then use a 2x4 to prop bed up to access the tank.
About how many times will the engine crank before turning on after the fix???!
Great job. Love this clip.
+A Ali Thank you we appreciate your comment.
Diagnosis told me to replace the defective pump they replaced 1 yrs ago, so I bought a new one and took the liberty to do the job myself when I discovered only that the small hose from the pump the unit was torn and that was the problem leaving me distraught so instead of replacing the fuel pump I just replaced the hose and put it back together installed it and started the vehicle runs good 👍 🎶
I would be paying more attention or better do it myself when it comes to working on my vehicle. I can't really trust a mechanic anymore
Thanks for the video! I've got a question for anyone who might be able to answer. I've got a 2006 Tacoma 4wd TRD off road & it started having a random hesitation during acceleration that started about a year after I purchased it. I baby it as much as possible. Synthetic oil & filter change every 5k like clockwork. Since the hesitation started about four years ago, it's never thrown a code. I've checked & replaced any and all fuses, used fuel injector cleaner a couple times a year, change the spark plugs, the MAF sensor and the PCV valve. Every time I've changed something I unplugged the battery for at least fifteen minutes to let the ECU reset. Nothing has fixed this random hesitation I'm getting and I'm ready to sell the truck private party. The last two ideas I wanted to try was the throttle control sensor and the fuel pump. There's two different parts, one is a fuel pump module that's $2-300 and the other is a fuel pump kit for $100. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
you could try the fuel filter if it hasn't been replaced already.
jstan928 thanks for the reply, the only problem is the fuel filter on '05 and newer Tacomas is in the fuel tank so means dropping the tank to replace anyway
Quick update and question, I just cleaned the throttle body sensor as thoroughly as possible & it helped a little but the random hesitation is still there. The only parts left to replace are the actual throttle body sensor and/or fuel pump. To avoid replacing both of them, does anyone know if either fuel pump or throttle body sensor would throw an obd code? Thanks so much in advance!
@@rickyeppstry and set up the fuel pressure gauge so you can see it while you drive. Next time it hesitates and your pressure is off you'll know your pump is bad
@@rickyepps so did you solve it? i have the same problem
I got a question can I use an external electric fuel pump on frame rail instead of putting it in my gas tank I have put three in and they don't last I used to have a Ford Ranger with carburetor on it I put electric fuel pump on it because the headers was blocking the manual fuel pump what's a u
We replaced everything but for some reason seems to be pressure spiting gas out from where you pump gas. I was told that it seems like there is a pressure issue but not sure
Hello there,
I had a question regarding the yellow gas light on my 2006 toyota tacoma. The light on my dash board dosen't come on anymore. This happened when I ran out of gas. I thought I might have damaged th fuel pump. When I filled the gas tank full needle registers but, will not go all the way to empty and the yellow gas light dosn't come on. Wanted to ask for your suggestion on fixting this issue. Thanx!!
what's the denso part# for that kit? I ordered denso part# 951-0001, for a 1998 3.4L tacoma, but it didn't come with the filter sock. I'm wondering why yours did.
Thanks for the video, might have to do my 96 4Runner, they're similar.
Best Wishes n Blessings Keith
Best of luck! I'm sure you will do great! Thank you so much for watching!
Would you consider taking the truck bed itself off and approaching the fuel pump from the top? What would be an obstacle to that?
+Tyler Billington That is another option, but truck beds are heavy. If you haven't already please subscrbe.
Agreed that's how we have done it for years, just need a helper to lift off bed and put back on!
i just took the six bolts out of the bed with an impact wrench, unconnected the tail lights, and fed the gas cap down as we raised the bed. took about 30 min.
How would I check the pressure on the fuel pump of a Tacoma?
I took off the 4 forward bolts and loosened the very rear 2 bolts and tilted the bed up by hand and used 2x4s to hold it up. So far so good...
I usually drink a bunch of beer while I'm doing any wrenching on my truck😊
The two wires going straight to the fuel pump, witch is ground and witch is power? Thanks
How come you didn't install the new hose,, that came with the new pump?
Hi guys great video. Just installed my new pump on my 95 tacoma and everything was good until i noticed i was leaking gas from where the fuel pump bolts to the gas tank. I removed my bead that’s how i was able to see this. Is there any kind of gasket that i need to replace when resitalling? I’m getting gas seaping from the top of the fuel pump on my gas tank. Thank you!
Yes there should be a gasket between the top of the pump and the top of the tank. Hose it down with WD-40 when you install it too so the seal goes on even. Thanks for watching!
muy buen video, los felicito!
¡Muchas gracias por mirar!
Good job thanks for sharing this video!
Thanks for watching!
Esta chingon el video
Very helpful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great video thank you 🙏
Thanks so much for watching!
Could you show a video of replacing the cabin filter on a 1995 Toyota Tacoma. thx.
Errol, no cabin filters in a 95 Tacoma. I have a 2003 and none in that either. Dont think they started cabin filters in tacomas till the 2005 model
Excelente work! Thanks
Glad you like it!
Looks like a difficult replacement. My tacoma just stopped running and my cousin said it maybe the fuel pump or fuel injector
Nice video. I have a 2000 tacoma 2.4 2wd with 246k miles on it. There is a loud humming noise on the inside cabin. I think its either the fuel pump or in the trans. The noise never changes. Do these pumps tend to hum when going out? So far no loss in performance anything like that.
Yeah they can. Usually its more of a whine. Just turn the ignition on, not the engine, then listen. If you hear it, then it is most likely the fuel pump. Thanks for watching!
A lot easier too just undo the 4 bolts holding the bed on and moving it down and over a little.

My 98 tacoma 2.4 won't start out of no where . I removed the fuel inlet pipe bolt and fuel pressure regulator and attempted to turn the car on and no fuel was coming out does that mean fuel pump is bad ?
Yeah sounds like it. They go out all the time. Thanks for watching!
Q for any one willing to answer. I am at s point removing the fuel line. The bolts are stuck. I have used wd 40, had an assistant give it a go Also heads up using my arm. Ideas?
Thank you
Did the Denso keep up? Would it better to try to find original or is that too expensive? Or is Denso direct replacement?
Denso is the direct replacement. Thanks for watching!
What's the part number for the fuel pump? Thanks
Thanks for the video. I have a 97 Tacoma, manual transmission. I have to keep it in a gear lower than I normally would to rev up to get enough power, particularly when going up hills. Is this a symptom of fuel pump failure? Thanks.
Could be the cat converter, or the fuel pump please check it, go to our website and click fuel pump and cat converter to check the videos needed
This happened to me right before my fuel pump died. Too late for D. Garbato, but for any others who may visit the page.
So my fuel pump is working but when I put gas the needle won’t move it used to work now I don’t know how much fuel I have do I still have to do all that ? Thanks
You sure do. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros thanks do you know if I’m going to have to replace the whole fuel assembly or just the fuel sending unit thanks again
Just the sending unit (pump)
Hi guys i need to do the same job on my 95. I was wondering if you could upload the link to which fuel pump you used. The one i found doesn’t say it comes with the strainer. Awesome video by the way. Thanks! 🤙🏼
It may have an internal strainer. GM changed that on a S-10 I did not too long ago. Freaked me out because they changed it from external sock to internal strainer. I usually get stuff like that from Rockauto.com Thanks for watching!
2:43 - I "Disconnected THIS hose" like he said, but then my radiator fluid drained all out. ??? I also removed "THIS Bracket", but my truck bed came loose. i.e. it would be nice if he explained WHICH hose and which bracket. THIS doesn't cut it. Kidding about the above.
Thanks bud.
@matt lehnardt: i just did my truck today unbolting the 6 bed boats and taking out the tail lighgs is mch easier,jus have a buddy there to help u lift
It appears this video may be helpful is it would say how to get the hose in the tank to siphon the gas out. There appears to be something blocking the way to the tank.
yup, i just got a hose stuck in my 2000 tacoma trying to remove the gas, not for dropping the tank but for other reason; came here to see if I could catch a hint of how to fix it but he just says insert the hose; I did before in mine and passed that something that seems to block it now the hose can not come out. seems some sort of flap may be in the neck of the tank tube, i am just hoping my stupidity do not lead to have to drop the tank anyways!
thank you GREAT
You're welcome!
Great video; I am not changing the fuel pump, I am interested in see how to drain fuel without getting screwed like I did so I watched this video in hopes it would show me how to fix my dumbness; I inserted a blue hose to drain liquids, one that has a metal end with a ball in it to drain the fuel now it is stuck in there and would not come out! I inserted it pretty deep trying to reach the bottom of the tank so I think it did but the hose is too thick to now come up, it is not just any hose that one can insert in there, it has to be a very thin one or it will get stuck! Now there are no videos to show what to do to get it out and I am hoping I do not have to disassemble the tank to do so because I do not have a lift like in this video and forget the dealers! My weekend project screwed for lack of knowledge! It seems there is a flap in the tank neck on the bottom. My truck is a 2000 Toyota Tacoma.
Little bit late, and I'm sure you figured it out, but next time you could always take the bed off (need at least maybe 3 or 4 guys) and do it like that. That's I am changing the assembly in my 96 tacoma
Yup it sounds like the flap that keeps gas from sloshing up the fuel hose has pinched the hose. It has a spring on it that keeps it closed. You want to talk dumb? I was trying to get a hose into my F-250 to drain the tank for a fuel pump repair. At some point I stuck my finger in the hole to see how it worked. My truck was parked out front by the road away from the house. Well I couldn't get my finger back. I yelled and yelled for my wife but nobody could hear me. Then all the people from church were driving by to go home. I was so embarrassed. Now THAT'S dumb!!! (Rusty)
Is there access to the top of the fuel tank by removing the rear seats?
There shouldn't be. You'll likely find a big fire suppression wall under there.
Maybe i will cut a hole in the bed to access the pump area
Having trouble taking off the fuel line that has a thread. I know one of the wrenches is 14mm, does anyone know what size is the other one he is holding (bigger one?) I have upto a 16mm and its still too small.
He is using it at 0:57- 0:58
I think it’s 19 mm.
How many lph are suitable for this 3rz engine? This engine 2700cc..
190-250lph
don't need open tank,,need cut hold on the top ,replacement fuel pump ,and seal hold very easy,,,my truck toyota tacoma 1996 ,
This is how to do it with out cutting the body. Thanks for watching!
Can you explain the gas syphoning? How do you get the gas to come up the tube?
You use compressed air next to the tube to create a vacuum in the tube which sucks gasoline out of the tank. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros ok i will try this, i told my dad to not fill the tank but i want to get the little remaining amount out to drop the tank. Thanks for the response.
my 2006 Tacoma has 230,000 miles on it and I'm thinking that my fuel pump is probably about to go out. now I know what I'm in for.
Thanks for watching!
@Pop Warner, I'm doing pump on 2000 Tacoma 2wheel. 180k fuel filter change could help pump last longer?
On my 1994 the fuel line sub-assembly looks the same, with a flare fitting on each end, connecting the steel line from the pump housing to the steel fuel line on the frame. Trouble is, both ends will not release. I can get the nut loose that pushes in the flare of the tube into the ends of the flexible connector line, but after about one turn each one locks up and will not continue to loosen. The tube is then loose on the steel lines on each end and there is no rust to speak of. However, I can't get either end to come off more than about one turn. Is there something I am missing here as the problem? I have removed many such flare fittings in other applications, as with brake lines, with never encountering this problem and now TWICE on the same line? I am thinking of cutting the line and then using compression fittings with barbs to then replace with a flexible fuel hose that is 30R9 rated for injection systems. However, concerned about using brass compression fittings on fuel lines and not sure if this would be safe and secure. I want to figure this out and get any needed parts before I dig further into this as the vehicle is running now. I fear if I try to force the nuts off it will strip something or otherwise destroy the sub-assembly even if it would come off without cutting it. Again, both nuts come loose on the flexible part of the fuel line near the petrol tank and all seems fine, but then as I try to remove either nut it jams and stops dead and will not continue. Tks.
Yep that is a problem, please ask your questions at www.2carpros.com/questions/new our online mechanics will help you
Thanks bro. Was a easy job
+Woody Penkert glad we could help, please subscribe to our channel.
it would be better to get out the trunk bed with a engine hoist and some chains
Do it in the way it was demonstrated in the video, much Easter this way , disconnecting the filler cap assembly and lining it back up major pain , plus more time removing bed , I could be wrong , let's have a contest in time each way takes ??? Ya!
Where is ground cable lost mine
Great
See if you show on video how emptying the tank hard to see it
Now that's a great idea. I put it on the videos to make list. Thanks for watching!
its easier to remove the bed easier access and quicker prosses
Yeah some folks like to do it that way. This way is easier if you are by yourself. Thanks for watching!
Why in God's name would anyone put an electric pump inside a gas tank bolted to the bottom of a truck? Is this easier than removing the bed? I've done this on an F-250 Heavy Duty, and it was a bitch. Thanks for posting. Great step by step video. (Rusty)
Thanks for watching!

Drop the tank???????
That's nuts! Lift the bed, 6 bolts and you can get right at it!!!
I think this is easier.
@@2carpros Actually, I just lifted the bed on my Neighbor's Tacoma...
Any other way is just insane!!!
They went, Wait, What???
Almost finished!!!
