, Pathfinder (96-04) or Frontier pick-up (98-04) – Replace the fuel pump')){kind=link}
Hello! Very nice video!
I replaced the fuel pump on my 2000 Nissan Frontier, but I noticed that the return fuel line that is attached to the fuel pump plastic housing does not have that little plug at the end. Why is that and do I need that little plug?
Thank you!
Nissan frontier fuel pump removal
This doesn’t help me. I have a full bench seat in the back. Can’t pull it up like that.
Here's a tip to save your skin: The metal around that opening to the fuel tank is rather sharp-edged. Depending on how big your arms are, you may very well tear up the skin on your forearms when reaching down inside the tank and maneuvering the pump assembly during removal and install. Gasoline making contact with open wounds is….uncomfortable. To avoid this just take some blue masking tape and run it all around the perimeter of the opening so that it covers that sharp edge.
This video is spot on!
Does the sock need to be replaced or can it be reused?
Good bargain
Thats fine but you dont show how you pulled the return hose off at 4:20 which is a differnt type of clip
stupid video.
why do you only show how to take off the fuel line but not the return line? cant get the fucker off.
this has nothing to do with 1998 frontiers i can tell you thst
This video is not accurate for Frontiers. They need to remove Frontier from the description. It is not under the seat. You need to remove the gas tank. I learned the hard way…
I put a new fuel pump in but it wont work installed in the tank! if i put the fuel pump in a container of gas and hook the pump to a 12 volt power source it pumps like crazy and recurculates the fuel in the container but when i plug it into the sending unit and plug it back to the truck harness and turn on the key the motor spins but when i put the pump back in the truck and turn on the key i get nothing from the fuel pump outlet, i hooked a piece of cleat tubing up and see no fuel when i turn the key on, i just dont get it at all! i have worn my forearm out from taking this pump in and out! any ideas?
