You’ll need this tool or one like it in order to disconnect the fuel lines. This kind is my favorite. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W0UZHG/ref=as_li_q…

Dude, PB Blaster works wonders on those rubber hoses where they attach to
metal filler neck. Blaster works on anything that’s stuck, doesn’t have to
be metal
is the gas tank the same on a 2000 cavalier ls 2.4 as a 1998 cavalier 2.2?
both are 13 gallons.
i need that tool
Ok so obv. You replaced the entire assembly but my ??? Is how do you
replace just the pump motor?
thanks so much for making this video saved me a bunch of money and time.
Thanks Brian great video-I need to get that disconnect tool.
I poured a little gas in the center resivour of the fuel pump when I did my
truck and it helped with the priming. If the metal retainer spring is too
rusty you may need to replace it to get a good seal.
hey thanks lol im about to be doing this job in a 2002 sunfire and your
video has given me answers to all my questions lol thanks for the help and
the great video
great job—-you are really good doing it one handed—-I know how hard it
is to work and film at the same time
Same here on the tool.
Hey I got a question how do you know you feel pump goes out?? Because my
car turns on but I got to be present to gas and when I’m running it will
turn on by self
Fuel pump*
Hey, I need some help on how to change the fuel filter for the same type of
car
Awesome, thanks for the Vid, I am going to be doing this to my daughters 05
Cavalier this coming weekend. I would not have known that I needed the
disconnect tool had I not watched.
oh shit your an angel men. Thanks for the video. It really helps…
How’d you end up working on a car from alberta? Could have sworn you were
in the US.
Step 1 remove fuel line, step 2 light a match and see what happens.
hello Brian have a problem , 95 xlt explorer i went through 4 fuel pumps 2
ran for 1 day started sputtering while driving went to pass a car step in
to it that’s when it sputtered like crazy then got home smoothed out. then
no fuel when went to start and 2 never worked at all …i replaced filter,
computer ..checked all relays . connections.some one told me they went
through several before they got one to work ????
I DID NOT know that. Did you Spanky? “no- I also DID NOT know that.”
Great video as always Brian. Have a great day! Mark
i didn’t know you lived in canada, I thought you lived in utah.
a trick for getting that circlip off is taking two allen keys that fit in
the holes, putting one in each hole and squeeze with regular pliers its
much easier, its less stressful on the circlip.
The O-rings used for fuel (and many other components on cars) can handle
spray silicone, fuel, alcohol, etc pretty well.
This reminds me of the gas tank replacement I did on a 96 sunfire it was
not too bad,except those quick connects were a pain ,originals 17 old. I
had to cut the vent line and splice gas line hose /clamps to that ,main
line came directly off gas filter,another Q connect seized,I just put the
rubber line directly on it and another splice to original delivery to
tank,the return line was ok. well I thought ,I am doing not bad, then I
busted both brake lines,but fixed it all, a pain,fixed it ,thanks
thats what I was saying. I thought he was in texas or something
YES. Less splashing weight shifts- more control
People who take the time to do these type of videos definitely make this
world a better place.
I wonder if its possible to make a access panel on these cars to access the
fuel pump/ sending unit assembly? I’ve always hated dropping gas tanks,,
I’ve never done one but I hear it is a lot easier to do when the tank is
nearly empty.
And just to make it exciting the pumps always seem to fail when the tank is
nearly full…..
Well done Brian , cant see any way to improve on that job. Just getting
caught up on your vids, been away deer camping, lots of snow and -10 deg .
did you know that you could have replaced the full tank with assembly, with
partSpectra Premium Fuel Pump and Tank Assembly Includes Fuel Tank, Fuel
Pump Pre-Installed In Tank and Mounting Straps Part No. GM391FA. its made
in canada. i would have thought it would be a better price and also that
the tank that you was taking off, looked kinda on in the road of sorrow..
it would be a better choice.
Brians gettin stoned hahaha
You’re welcome! Those Q connects fill with dust, gravel and dirt. You have
to WD-40 them into submission and you often have to use compressed air to
flush the debris out of them.
where are the jackstand?
Sorry to hear about your Daughters medical bills, hard and expensive to be
self employed and afford insurance. Amazing when welfare bums get free
insurance, etc. for sitting home doing 0
HELLO! Before seeing the entire video already clicked like great job with
this car.
Ok the Mine dont have ABS system but the Tank and Belly of the car are the
same ha
I’m sure this is isn’t the first time someone will ask this question, and
I’m sure it won’t be the last. You live in Canada?
I do most of the year/time.
great vid
Five minute job on a ’66 Ford F100.
I was looking at that quick disconnect wondering HTH am I going to get that
thing off. Did not know there was a special tool. You probably saved me a
few hours there. Great video! I give you points for the camera work. That
must have been tough trying to film that.
I didn’t see any stabilizer bar on the rear of this car, how come? My 84
Cimarron has a 22mm rear bar with a similar design to front ones. Had to
change the bushings as they were falling apart after 347K miles and 28
years. Thanks for your videos, and as you hinted a few times and my recent
pump replacement, I have no idea how you can do this and film at the same
time. You’re much more coordinated than I will ever be. Thanks for your
hard work!
Ha! I also have that box full of saved electrical connectors! Saved me a
lot of time/grief on more than a few occasions.
