I need to change the fuel pump, but I can’t figure out how to disconnect
the wires that go to the tank. There’s a plastic piece on the side of the
connector that looks like it locks the connector in, but I can’t figure out
how to pull the (red) plastic piece out. There are so many different type
of plastic connectors and so many of them are not very easy to see how they
come apart. I would rather not have to break it apart.
I’m guessing around 300. It’s a royal pain.
@nuffers01 True. Thanks, I appreciate it!
@Johnnysshop thts weird.. haha ive seen it fix cracked diff covers and
almost everything. gas must eat at it. anywayz, good video, keep it up 😀
I don’t think I would have been able to. It’s a royal PITA overall compared
to most things. Not hard, just awkward without a lift.
Thanks for the info very informative. . My question is about how much would
reputable mechanic charge to drop a tank and clean out. Thanks.
Shoulda used JB Weld. works for everything 😀
Yeah, should be. Not fun!
Were you able to pull fuel pump out without disconnecting the 3 lines. I
know you disconnected the line to the filter but would you have been able
to pull pump had you left it connected
You may have to cut them off. Talking about the bolts for the straps?
same process for a 2000 grand am?
Nice video. (Let me guess–you weren’t using your good camera. Oh, and you
didn’t have room under the car…)
how long overall would u say droppin the tank and changing the pump took?
Trying to remove gas tank from 1992 Pontiac Bonneville SE. Bolts are
secured on top woth nuts which are fozen and there is no way to get access
in to loosen the bolts –Desperately need help.
@nuffers01 Yeah, people tend to forget that the videos are FREE! Thanks for
putting your time into it.
Not sure but I’d have to guess so just because the gap allows salt, water
and whatever else to pool up there.
Interesting to see how it’s done. I’m no mechanic either, but you probably
could have put a jumper wire in place of the fuel pump relay to get all
that gas out of there first. Mighta made it a little easier to handle.
Have you tried to let them soak with some penetrating fluid? You may have
to cut them off or drill them out.
@Gatorsrok Nope.. Water weld is JB Weld.
Thank you. Putting a fuel tank back in 2001 Grand MArquis tomorrow after
putting in new pump and got some ideas. K, bye
hi, so how did you remove the bolt, my own arent frozen, they spin freely
and i dont know how to remove them
@FyberOptic what if the fuel pump is bad ? that’s the problem we have
Thanks for watching. Sorry I couldn’t get more details on the camera, just
hard to get the camera in there.
yippy yay
do these grand am’s typically rust in that specific area? i just bought a
grand am and that it’s gas tank leaks.
@nuffers01 Mind reader! LOL. Yeah, a lot of criticism on Youtube so I have
to repeat everything..
@FyberOptic True, There was only about half a gallon in there so it wasn’t
bad.
About 3-4 hours or so. Mostly just dealing with rusty bolts.
