What I learned is being friends with a guy with a roll back truck and another guy who is a van mechanic is very useful for someone who lives the van camper life.
You fixed the effect and not the real problem. In tank fuel pumps are a matter of life now but having one go out on you hours away on ORV roads has no simple remedy. You would think that some off road aftermarket solution would be available that would have a redundant pump that would get your tit out of the wringer and not having you drop the tank on a dirt road after acquiring a replacement pump. A fuel pressure gauge on your dash seems like a good idea but really just tells you you are screwed.
I have a bad fuel pump on my van. This is more informative on the process than any other video on UA-cam and it's a well shot and edited vlog to boot. I don't know how you go through tough emergent situations and still manage to vlog well. Kudos, man. I'm now subbed for more "relaxing" viewing as well!
Jason, thank you for sharing this video. What I like about this video is the part about having good friends that you count on when you need help glad it all turn out good take care
On a different video, this guy was mentioning everything that could go wrong with the fuel pump but didn't address the simplest test. Even though that wasn't the problem, he still never mentioned it like you did. I've never heard of that switch but, as soon as you said it, I went to see what it was and did. That made total sense, since we just hit a deer on the front passenger side the night before. Unfortunate l i didn't know this until the next day Thank you so much for mentioning everything. You saved me so much money.
Great video. About to have to put one in on my 92 E350 Class C motorhome. Already did one last year on my 90 F150 rear tank. Hardest part seems to be getting it in and out. Safe travels out there man.
Gathering as much info before diving into our (new to us) 1986 coachmen with the 7.5L E-350. It’s gonna be a whole lotta fun and I’ll be vlogging as well. Thanks for inspiring content and style on your channel!
those access panels cut and done nicely are great when you are in the middle of nowhere and that pump goes out and you have a spare in the tool box and can change one out inside your rig in the middle of winter or in harsh environments while sipping a coffee and watching a movie. ;-) you can also put a external oil filter in a place where you can open the engine inside and replace the oil filter and replace the oil with a basic hand fluid pump as well. great for harsh environments or winter.
I am gonna make a point of using a hole saw to create access over top of my fuel tank/pumps. I carry starters, alternators, and for cross country trips will likely include a fuel pump.
I cut a hole in the floor and made a nice patch for it. If you have continuing or repeated problems with the fuel pump or fuel gauge sender, it's invaluable. The idea of having to raise and lower a full fuel tank alone is insane, especially when you have such an easy way to work from the inside - especially in the rain or snow. Manufacturers should be especially aware of time and costs to repair - even more so with fleet vehicles!
@@bagheerab278 The money is in selling vehicles that can be quickly repaired by a single person! Making repairs unnecessarily difficult will cause smart buyers to look elsewhere. It also affects their reputation.
I liked the video...i would ask to see any future videos of fixes or changes of Sasquatch. i think some folks forget what it takes to keep an overland vehicle...overlanding! never seen a fuel pump replaced so was interesting to see.
Hi had same problem with my 1992 Campervan needed a new carburettor managed to get a new on from carburettor hospital for £495 all ok now great video Paul 🇬🇧
Cool Just please use a NON sparking hammer and punch next time Very common the do it yourselfers overlook And end up with an explosion Im hoping to see a new pup soon
When you cut the roof to raise it ,get in and cut a access port in the floor to access the fuel pump ,it's a much better solution as you are on the road and then if future pump problems occur then you can deal to it ,boggy it up to run to a workshop or even have a fuel pump motor in the van . Cheers
Top tip from the UK, invest in reset-able fuses, like MCB`s for cars, especially for fuel pump/lighting, so you never get caught out but still have the over current protection. hth.
Yeah I would have cut a hole in the floor and went that way. There should have been one there like somebody else said it's not hard to do. You can seal it up. Good so it doesn't get air in or leak or get the fumes of gas if you do it right. But other than that you got it fixed. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
HI JASON 👋 IT'S GOOD TO HAVE GOOD FRIENDS / FAMILY THAT CAN HELP US STAY MOBILE SO WE CAN HELP OTHERS TOO IN DIFFERENT WAYS 😊 THANK YOU 🙏 BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏
Hopefully you guys looked inside tank? If there is excess debris from long use, it will prematurely cause another pump failure. After years of use tanks should be cleaned out
Just wondering if there is a video on the 6 speed trans and transfer case installation that you showed at the end of the video? I’m curious what parts you used and currently have. Please let me know. Thank you
That’s going to be the next project on my Ford van. The gauge stopped working a couple weeks ago but until I get the money to change it I’m gonna be guessing at how much fuel I have in it.
It's an excellent video. Keeps us balanced. There is always two sides to everything. As much as we like to go out we have to remember these things happen!✌️🏜️
We just did our fuel pump today as well. It was pain in the butt to disconnect the fuel line. The old fuel pump fell apart when we got it out. The new one starts right back up and we don’t have any engine light on our truck no more.
Where is the "previous" video you mentioned where you performed the diagnosis of the fuel pump failure. I search many of your videos but cannot fin any labeled about a fuel pump. Thanks,
I am in the middle of doing a rebuild on an e350 motor home. I had a weird leak on top of the tank that came and went away after I jacked the framed a little. I bought from church half rehabbed and expected to have problems. I plan on driving this rv so I dont want no fuel leaks or pump problems. Better to do now than get stuck somewhere or worse have fire. My vision of dropping the tank was pretty much what you did. I have a set of those line release ring clips. Thank you for the video. Gives me guidance doing this work.
Can you please send me a link to the video when you did the troubleshooting to determine that the problem was the fuel pump? I suspect mine is bad but the CELL and BATTERY light stay on. Is this a code for something? The battery is good and alternator put out 13.86 volts when I had it running.
Hey Jason when you changed the fuel pump. Did you change the inline fuel filter? That is very important to keep the fuel filter changed. Blessings brother
One of my friend made an access panel on the floor inside his van & replaced his pump . They should have made an access panel on the floor of these vans from the factory .
Definitely would have stuck with an OEM Ford fuel pump for a critical component like that. Also, considering the crud that intake filter had in it, I would have drained the tank and flushed it out before reassembly, and replace the main fuel filter as well.
It's getting harder to find OEM Ford fuel pumps for older Ford's. I have a 97 f250hd and the dealer can't even tell me what the original pump was in my front tank.
i have an issue on my 92 Ford E250 just like your van . the problem is the Fuel gauge indicator not working . i don’t have an engine light nor a code on . what would be the best way to fix this issue prior to dropping the fuel tank and change the fuel pump , cos accordingly to my mechanic he had it changed last year , but yet he didn’t told me that could had fix the fuel gauge at the same time . Auto century mechanic and owner has been ripping me off on my two vehicles for the past 4 yrs until i realized he has not been honest . please advise thx Edie
It’s the brushes inside the fuel pump, would suggest you take it apart and look. Unfortunately domestic pumps seem to wear the brushes out pretty quick. Anyways when you bang on the tank the brushes are disturbed and contact reestablished
Does anyone know where the voltage connector (supplying the 8 fuel injectors with 12 volts) plugs in to get power? Mine is unplugged so no voltage gets to the injectors. The lead on this male connector is less than 12 inches.
This video would have been better and would have helped me if you showed me the new pigtail, and how you hooked it to the old one. The colors are different,
Unless you had just recently changed your fuel filter, it might have been wise to change it while you were in the shop. I had a similar problem with my 2004 Dodge Ram Cummins diesel and it turned out to be the filter. If your pump sock was very dirty it might be passing trash on to the fuel filter. The Cummins used a lift pump and that eventually failed, but by the Dodge had abandoned the lift pump and moved to a fuel pump in the tank like yours.
How do you know what pump you need? Rockauto has different options. I don't have a V-10, CNG, or rear-mounted tank. I have a middle behind the driver's seat underneath. I'm guessing that's midship. I have a standard cargo box van, a 5.4L V8 gas E250. No auxiliary tank (like I wish). I envy diesel guys and their 40-gallon tanks. I would like extra capacity out of my 35 gallons lol
Most of the aftermarket pumps have a third line attached with a cap on the end. That line is needed for the rear tank, but the pump works just fine in the front tank(only tank) with the cap left in place. I ALWAYS cut an access hole and put a patch over it. Even if I needed to clean or replace the main tank, it's really valuable if you need to change the pump on the road. Either way, when you pull the pump, straighten out the lock ring by placing it between two steel plates and whacking the top with a hammer to take out any wobble. That happens when removing it and can make it much harder to reinstall. Also, you can bevel the leading edges of the lock ring with a grinder to help it engage.

Just having a lift to do vehicle work is a huge help by itself.

@@elffirrdesign2063 Carry an inline 12v pump would be a simple backwoods remedy.
@@wildbill23c .. I never used one myself. May I ask what benefit would it be for? Trying to figure it out now what one needs to connect it.
That was probably the smoothest fuel pump install I've ever seen. Lucky you!!!! Glad that went so easy for ya. Later.

ive done several fuel pump swaps on my ford trucks and vans and i use my atv jack.... works perfectly
At least is was a simple fix and you are back on the road. I cant wait to see the trans swap!
Great informative video! Thanks.
It is great having good customers and good mechanics...
Glad you were able to get stuff done!

I ran into the same issue finding a replacement video that did t involve cutting a hole in the floor.

Yep! Done it in many flatbeds, pickups and vans!
Thx. I jumped over here to see how it's done. My 1998 Ford Econoline is hitting near 200k miles. I want my fuel pump changed out before it fails. 👍
I am gonna make a point of using a hole saw to create access over top of my fuel tank/pumps. I carry starters, alternators, and for cross country trips will likely include a fuel pump.
Manufacturers should be doing this already. (But where's the money in that??)
Old import trucks used to have access but that was to convince
@@bagheerab278 some modern ones do, my son fixed his subaru in the driveway , I think his old Honda was the same.

Cut a access panel in the floor. I had to replace my pump and it went out 2 weeks later.
Parts aren't what they used to be .
simple fix that I usually do on sight. A jack, simple ratch set and small flatheads. Large flathead and a hammer. 2 hours one man
And no need to completely remove
Love these how to videos
Great video
Hi had same problem with my 1992 Campervan needed a new carburettor managed to get a new on from carburettor hospital for £495 all ok now great video Paul 🇬🇧
Simple until you hit rust, I had one with the ring rust welded and the wires were corroded to the point the plastic disintegrated. Fun memories!
Aaron Kaufmann from FAST AND LOUD going over fuel pump ....
Great install. I’d like to suggest brass for removing the ring and installing. One spark is end game.
How was the wire harness to inter change? Sometimes the china part makers label wires with colors that are way off.
Where did you get the new part?
Thanks
I use a motorcycle jack, it works like a dream for any fuel tank and esp the trans, since it's flat and wide. Harbor freight.
Cool
Just please use a NON sparking hammer
and punch next time
Very common the do it yourselfers overlook
And end up with an explosion
Im hoping to see a new pup soon
Love the video

Thank you for the video. Is there a video, or more info, on the fuel pressure guage and its installation?
Sweet! hope I don't need to do mine anytime soon
Looking forward to that transmission swap video…
That look like a nice shop floor but I bet it is really hard to find a drop nut or bolt, washer etc. ... 50 years in a shop here.

THANK YOU 🙏 BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏
Great to have good friends. One thing hope you changed the fuel filter. Plugged filters are what usually cause the pumps to fail. 😁
Cool beans
hope that wasn't an orielly's pump mine lasted about 8 months. Replaced that with a ford oem pump.

Fuel pump should be OEM Motorcraft replacement part, my guess is your doing this again in 18 months. Or at least your friend is. 😁
Hey Jason!
Thats what its all about :)
It's an excellent video. Keeps us balanced. There is always two sides to everything. As much as we like to go out we have to remember these things happen!✌️🏜️
why didn't you just cut a hole in the floor above the pump, instead of pulling the tank?
We just did our fuel pump today as well. It was pain in the butt to disconnect the fuel line. The old fuel pump fell apart when we got it out. The new one starts right back up and we don’t have any engine light on our truck no more.
So I wouldn’t classify that at “super simple” but yes, it could have been a lot more involved. Thanks for sharing
Where is your shop looking located?
Where is the "previous" video you mentioned where you performed the diagnosis of the fuel pump failure. I search many of your videos but cannot fin any labeled about a fuel pump. Thanks,
NiiiOooce!!! 😜🎉🥂🍾
I would really like to add a fuel pressure gauge ! Where did you get you components for that ? my e350 is a 5.4
So thumping the tank loosed the dirt in the fuel filter to get gasoline thru?
When dropping the tank, which side do you remove the bolts from. Front or back?
I am in the middle of doing a rebuild on an e350 motor home. I had a weird leak on top of the tank that came and went away after I jacked the framed a little. I bought from church half rehabbed and expected to have problems. I plan on driving this rv so I dont want no fuel leaks or pump problems.

If you're pumped that you took out had 2 tubes. The one you put it in had 3 tubes, what did you do?
Those fuel line connecters can be a biotch!

Are they just dropping the fuel tank , seems better than cutting a hole in the floor
How 2 take care of a f pump, maint wise ? Is this an expensive job 2 hire a mech?
Are you putting a manual transmission in the van? A Six speed?
Hey Jason when you changed the fuel pump. Did you change the inline fuel filter? That is very important to keep the fuel filter changed. Blessings brother
One of my friend made an access panel on the floor inside his van & replaced his pump . They should have made an access panel on the floor of these vans from the factory .

was the crap in the tank ?
friend, a question about how much the pump cost you, here in Peru, it is difficult to find spare parts for my 2005 Ford E 350, greetings from Peru.

Super simple with 2 floor Jack's, a shop and somebody to do the work for you....
It’s never the inertia Switch unless you hit a tree !
How many years/miles did your fuel pump last?
It’s the brushes inside the fuel pump, would suggest you take it apart and look. Unfortunately domestic pumps seem to wear the brushes out pretty quick.
Anyways when you bang on the tank the brushes are disturbed and contact reestablished
Does anyone know where the voltage connector (supplying the 8 fuel injectors with 12 volts) plugs in to get power? Mine is unplugged so no voltage gets to the injectors. The lead on this male connector is less than 12 inches.
Next time you have to drop the tank, just use one jack(centered) and run a ratchet strap around the tank and through the jack pad plate on the jack.
How many miles you guessing
I like oem for longevity
This video would have been better and would have helped me if you showed me the new pigtail, and how you hooked it to the old one. The colors are different,
👍
I would have also emptied the tank and steam cleaned the inside at the same time. Bound to be residue hiding in there which culminates over the years.
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
