The thought of dropping the tank & changing the fuel pump was kind of intimidating until I watched this video! Thanks so much!! I can now say I know how to change a fuel pump! 😁
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUR VIDEO IS THE ONLY ONE THAT ACTUALLY SHOWED ME HOW TO DISCONNECT THE LINES AND STUFF THANK YOJ SO MUCH LIKE OMG YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH IT HELPS I HOPE IT WORKS ON MINE 😊
Outstanding video. You really showed a lot of detail. My 04 has been sitting for 2 years and I started it a month ago started up just fine after I reinstalled the battery. And then I noticed the fuel gauge was sliding from half tank down to empty. Including the ceiling information LED showed zero miles to empty. The instrument cluster gas icon light went on too So I quickly assumed the fuel pump sending sensor might be going bad. Then all of a sudden the light went up and the gauge went back to half full. I then started it a few weeks later same issue. I drove it a little while and the gauge was still moving from empty to half full. I filled up the tank and then I noticed it was reading about only 7/8 full. I pulled it back into the garage and I won't be driving it this winter but come spring I'll probably work on it. My guess is it's that fuel pump sending sensor since both the instrument gauge and the ceiling information led were both affected. Anyway I thought your video was excellent.
Your trouble light so close is very dangerous. I say this because I had a call at work (fireman) and a gentleman that owned a shop did exactly what you are doing. He caught himself on fire and the building. He died 3 days later. Be safe. It does happen
No you don’t have to take those bolts off that are holding the straps on that hold the tank into the shield. And you wouldn’t have gas spray out normally if you go to the injection fuel line Schrader valve and release the fuel pressure!

@Jimmy Lee Tennessee, Awesome video Brother ! Straight to the point with No Bullshit Added ! I hear ya about those other videos too. They last a fucking hour just so you can learn how to take out some special screw or nut. When I look up videos for something I gotta fix, the first thing I do is look at the length of time the video is.
I know you can just cut the inside wheel well and get to the fuel pump that way but the only downside is then you have to make something to close it but I’m changing mine because I’m having fuel cut problems accelerating.
Cool appreciation for the straight to the point details and no anecdotes about off topic subjects. How did you diagnose it was the fuel pump. My 04 Grand Cherokee flat out quit this morning. 99 to 04 are the production years for the WJ btw, a little FYI.
a cheaper way to diagnose a fuel pump is putting starting fluid into the intake if your engine wants to start thats how you know it's the fuel pump if it sounds the same it means your engine either isn't getting air or spark
This has been the best mechanic video I have seen on anything. Just got one of these jeeps and it started leaking when I try filling it up from the first time. I'm watching this because I want to see what it could be which is what I think it is some of the gaskets on the top cuz when I tried feeling it up when we got near the top and started leaking not from the fill up point but from the tank itself. Awesome fucking video best. Just what we need not all the other chalking that we don't eat good job man keep it up.
Great video man! Very descriptive on how to get the tank down. I have a question though. You said the check valve is bad. Is that in the fuel pump itself or does that live somewhere else?
You did good and seem to know what you're doing. My suggestion is to slow down. It's not easy, but you running around is at like 20x speed. Moving the camera, needs to be at a 100x slower speed.
@Rob Simpson if you purchase the complete fuel pump module assy which is how most are sold these days it will have everything, you can purchase just the pump which cost about the same but then you have to reuse the rest, its just not worth it!
Why in these videos is everything always clean and spotless? C'mon the darn thing is now 20 years old The bolts are rusted and dirty on every vehicle I get to work on. lol
Hey uh i had trouble starting my jeep 4.0 wj so i replaced the fuel filter and it worked fine for like 2 hrs now i have same problem with starting again, also the old fuel filter was clogged and the gas it had looked like rust or dirt mix, could it be that my gas tank is dirty and clogged the filter again or just the pump?
I changed out my fuel filter and now I have gas draining back to my fuel tank. I have to prime my fuel line to get gas to my engine. Turn on turn off then start Jeep. Any idea what the problem could be ?
Do you remember how much gas you had in the tank? I’m planning on doing this myself. My tank has a little over a quarter (5 gallons) tank so I’m a little worried about the pump spilling a lot of gas.
Unfortunately if it won't run, there isn't really a good way. If you have to, stick a siphon hose in the fill nozzle, get some suction going, and let gravity do the rest! You can find siphon pumps at harborfreight.
I'm sorry I cannot remember this specific vehicle as it has been a long time. You might be able to find on Google, if nothing else, trace up to the fuel rail!
I only ask because I am having fuel come up like it's high pressure into the throttle body where the fuel return line hooks up and no fuel at the fuel rail. Trying to figure out if a fuel line clog could cause that or if I have my pump pumping backwards or the plug polarity reversed on the fuel pump that would also cause it to pump backwards, but I believe the center smaller line is the high pressure fuel line and the one off to the left side is the return line it's one size larger in diameter. If that's the case then the harness is reversing polarity or I have a clogged fuel line but still don't make sense if fuel is coming through the return line into the throttle body seems like high pressure
@barbracompton8236 it sounds like you have lines reversed and the pressure regulator is working like a check valve, thereby preventing fuel from entering the rail. Reversed polarity should not be possible because of the shape of the plug. In addition, the motor running backwards would push fuel back into the tank, not through the return line. Start at the fuel rail, and trace the lines back to the pump. The pump should have an arrow on the one that is the "from pump" connection. Also not completely sure what you mean by "at the throttle body."
...why is the camera so close? that does not help on the visuals -> sorry leilani but there was a good amount of yapping (fact) i think its done to confuse

Nice! Appreciate you cutting straight to the chase, too many RUclipsrs add unnecessary dialogue. This was great!
Good time to change fuel filter and rear end fluid and the boomerang support
I'm doing this repair for a friend on an 02.She called around to several shops and they all wanted $900+.Absolutely ridiculous for such a simple job.

Thanks for the help. Great video.
No you don’t have to take those bolts off that are holding the straps on that hold the tank into the shield. And you wouldn’t have gas spray out normally if you go to the injection fuel line Schrader valve and release the fuel pressure!
I made a hole under spare tyre for accessing the pump. quick and "dirty"solution. instead of taking the tank completely off
I think I’ll do the same, my tank full.
If your back of the Jeep looking in, the hole to the top center or top right?

How did you diagnose it was the fuel pump.
My 04 Grand Cherokee flat out quit this morning.
99 to 04 are the production years for the WJ btw, a little FYI.
I usually diagnose a fuel pump by checking the fuel pressure at the Schrader Valve.
a cheaper way to diagnose a fuel pump is putting starting fluid into the intake if your engine wants to start thats how you know it's the fuel pump if it sounds the same it means your engine either isn't getting air or spark
sometimes its just the wiring harness :/ learned the hard way
@@JimmyLeeTennessee That doesn't tell u check valve is bad. Only pump weak. Next comment
@@LynwoodSharpless I'm not sure what you're getting at, sorry.

Sorry I haven't replied this comment, I'm terribly sorry. It is made into the fuel pump if you haven't found out already!
13:10 Move the electricity (💡) away when you take the pump out dripping fuel
I mean sure, but I've yet to ever hear of a drop light igniting gasoline. This one has shatter-proof bulb and is on a GFCI.
You did good and seem to know what you're doing. My suggestion is to slow down. It's not easy, but you running around is at like 20x speed. Moving the camera, needs to be at a 100x slower speed.

Thank you. Mine has towing hitch. Which they say is a bitch. Appalachian hillbilly here also West Virginia
Thang you so much brother ❤
Hey Jimmy. You’re making it look easy! Is this job also a good time to replace a gas tank sensor? It seems like these may be related no?
It definitely couldn't hurt.
@Rob Simpson if you purchase the complete fuel pump module assy which is how most are sold these days it will have everything, you can purchase just the pump which cost about the same but then you have to reuse the rest, its just not worth it!
Excellent video. I don't have to replace my fuel tank, just my skid plate and brackets on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee some time this upcoming weekend.
use a wooden dowel. No chance of spark with wood.
Why in these videos is everything always clean and spotless? C'mon the darn thing is now 20 years old The bolts are rusted and dirty on every vehicle I get to work on. lol

The first thing I would advise is checking for fuel pressure if possible. They sell gauges at harbor freight for pretty cheap.
I changed out my fuel filter and now I have gas draining back to my fuel tank. I have to prime my fuel line to get gas to my engine. Turn on turn off then start Jeep. Any idea what the problem could be ?
Hey doug, sorry for the late reply... but for anyone who is curious, sounds like a check valve in the pump.
i have to do mine tomorrow, its an awful job
Do you remember how much gas you had in the tank? I’m planning on doing this myself. My tank has a little over a quarter (5 gallons) tank so I’m a little worried about the pump spilling a lot of gas.
I believe it was around 1/8.... 5 gallons wont be too heavy!
For a quick second I almost said why don't you just go for a drive....lol

What's the best way to empty the tank or get it close to empty before dropping the tank?
Unfortunately if it won't run, there isn't really a good way. If you have to, stick a siphon hose in the fill nozzle, get some suction going, and let gravity do the rest! You can find siphon pumps at harborfreight.
Is the smaller hose fuel out and the bigger hose the return or opposite?
I'm sorry I cannot remember this specific vehicle as it has been a long time. You might be able to find on Google, if nothing else, trace up to the fuel rail!

First thing you do is make a call to BendPak! lol we all wish
Just cut it hole in the top with some shears like everybody else is and save yourself a couple hours or terrible on the ground work haha
Is this for a 4.7 L
This was a 4.0 if I remember correctly. Should be close to the same process either way though!
It is the same for both
Nice video. Your a big fan of wd40 i see. Lol. Thx
ur d men, thx

Why fuel pump whining
Can you be more specific, I don't understand? You mean after replacing?
No way to do , swing camera every where you want
I am educated, your grammar is fine. Don't appologise again.
