Jihad Nader says:

Hi, last week my fuel pump failed as a result I search for a second hand fuel pump and changed it. What I am facing right now is once going mountain like a straight forward uphill keep pressing the fuel pedal on second gear or third my rpm once it is over 4 there will be a cut off as if you are not pressing the gas pedal anymore . I need your help or any solution.thank you. My Impreza is 2004 manual transmission

themetalMEGHAN says:

Hey, is priming the new fuel pump not required? I’m not a mechanic, but it seems like not doing so would push air through the fuel system?

Brian Donovan says:

Not one comment on how moronic it is to have a service item located in the fuel tank? Nice video though. Helped me change out a bad fuel pump so I appreciate the effort. No service tool on the gas lines for me in this case. Just clipped the old ones. This is on a 2010 Forester I bought for my non mechanically inclined son. Love where they put the oil filter also. Will never buy a Subaru after this experience.

Juan Coreas says:

The fuel pump brings the fuel filter together, please advise if someone knows.
Thank you!

Cricket B says:

do you have one for replacing the fuel level sensor (sending unit) or a fix for it thanks and good video. oh yea its a 05 MT Legacy 2.5L Limited NON turbo

Boon Vang says:

Why does my impreza look like it has 2 fuel pumps? One on the passenger side and one on the driver's side?

Bandwidthgod says:

This video only shows removing the fuel pump assembly and re installing it. Doesn't show anything about removing the pump itself.

Typhoon Pilot says:

Helps knowing what to do.. I'm swapping out the stock pump to an areomotive 380 gpm. In the process of making mine a tarmac assullt vehicle. Video coming soon up on my page. Thanks again for the info sir.

michael charach says:

Thanks for this. There was a recall on my 19 OB. It is going in for a new fuel pump next week. Wanted to see what was involved, and what the dealer would be doing. I don't trust them one bit so want to know what to check on after the work was done. Hope my interior doesn't smell to bad of gas once this is completed.

What year outback?

CR Auto guy says:

If it has fuel pressure and runs why are you replacing the fuel pump

julio castillo says:

In my legacy the Fuel pump connector burnt, is a common problem, so if you go far from home be sure to have some tools or better change the Fuel pump connector before

Mortimer Snerd says:

Thanks for the video. I am trying to do this on a 2010 Impreza. Couple of quick questions. 1. You don't mention the torques specs. When you reinsert the fuel pump, do you have to compress or push it down? After I took mine off when I tried to replace the pump it seemed like the pump was taller than when I took it out. Do I just have to tighten the screws to get the pump to fully seat? BTW someone suggested using a fuel resistant gasket sealer. I would not use it again. It never seems to dry or skim over. It got over everything. I am looking to replace the fuel pump now cause the permatex sealer got over everything. Oh well. I am waiting on whether or not it is normal for the pump to kind of stick out and if I just have to tighten the nuts to get it to seat. Thanks for any help.

Kristopher Trout says:

Very helpful. The only thing I would add is to remove the gas cap. The fuel coming from the pump might be a little pressure built up in the tank.

David Collins says:

Thanks for the video bro

Wheres fuel pump fuse on 02 impreza?

Shane Vail says:

What are the little clips that go in the fuel line called, I some how lost mine in the process and don't know how to order new ones…

Ron Ameika says:

My 2012 Forester Limited has a center fold up square in the center unlike the one in the video. I found the center "clip" and yet when I pull upward on the seat, it wont budge? What am I missing?

Just1Spark says:

Top notch video mate!

You can also modify the cap from a sharpie marker as fuel line removal tool.
