I'm in the process of doing this job, and I have to say, out of all the how-to videos I've watched, this has to be the best and most thorough one I've seen. Very good ! And thanks for all the info !

Javier Ochoa says:

Was it leaking gas or just bad pump?

Brent McMahon says:

Great video! Appreciate you taking the time to save us time and money

jimbob1096 says:

Fuel pump dead. I've got a full tank of gas. Can't figure out how to get the gas out. Any suggestions?

Jay Eickholtz says:

Thorough, yet concise. Thanks for making this video.

CJ Carlock says:

Vent line was the golden nugget for me. A lot of videos do not mention the vent line. They show them removing the fuel pump.

Train Man says:

Best most detailed description I've seen yet, thank you, I noticed on another video the raised filled in circle by your metal bar 07:22 had another white round evap connection like the bigger one to the left.

Mario Ramirez says:

Thx man you explain this very well

Yaya AAA says:

Very good on the explanation and the video great job

slamdunk2020 dunk says:

Thanks for your time and expertise. Your video is greatly appreciated.

V says:

Cut a hole in the floor and do it from the top.

A B says:

You didn't use a piece of steel to remove that pump retainer ring? Brass or aluminum only. Steel on steel, spark fly, tank go boom just as Ralf says below.

Izaiah Gonzales says:

How much can one expect to pay for parts and labor for the fuel pump swap on 2007 Chevy Suburban… ballpark is fine.. appreciate the help!

Elmer A says:

You think i could use a floor jack without a block of wood if i emptied my gas tank? In other words, will the weight of an empty gas tank be light enough to where i could only use a floor jack?

Ralf's Automotive Diagnostics & Repair says:

Smart thing to do would have been to use a brass punch or Aluminum stock to get that ring off! Metal on Metal can Sark!!

RAHRAH807 says:

I just lift up the bed..I found it’s easier if you don’t have a lift

Prah Eightsixty says:

You mean 2007 and up… 2006 looks like the 2002 model

Goin hard says:

Dude are freaking awesome….This was I on the most informative video I've seen..Save me and my family from having to go to the "Stealership".$364.00 savings..Thank you so much brother..

Alan says:

made in mexico? how about one made in America?

Lewis Burns says:

Just got done with dropping my tank. The steps are perfect. Since I’m doing on the ground without a whole car lift, I found that dropping the spare tire is well worth the time and effect, gives you a ton more room. Thanks for the video!!!

TIP!  If you are a schmuck (like me) and  need to drop your gas tank while lying on your back underneath your vehicle.
I used 3 ratchet straps, 2 across the tank (in the factory, steel band locations and 1 pulled around the back of the tank.  That third strap allows you to keep the tank from sliding rearward as you lower it.  I used a jack to do the lowering and the straps as a limiter, to lift it back up, the straps did most of the work. (the straps also make it easier because you can move the jack out of your way if necessary.  As you will see it is necessary to lower the tank to access the connections but you can't lower the tank until you disconnect them… Yeah, exactly!
Be very careful and lower it slowly! The fuel pump output has almost zero slack and the rollover (?) valve (large conn. on top at the back end of tank) passes over a cross member and therefore can easily be damaged (disconnect it before lowering more than an inch or so) . I used the bottom of a plastic water bottle and the factory hose clamp to keep fuel from pouring out of the filler tube after removing the hose.
The 3rd strap is the key, without it the tank will continually slide rearward and get hung up on the rear end and will try to slide off the jack.  It's tedious since you have to, many times, release the straps and re-adjust but is better than breaking the connectors or dropping the tank. Good Luck!
