Greetings jeff(?) I’ve just saved a 1991 Bentley from being scrapped.... no fuel pressure, plus loads of other issues. It has twin fuel pumps, both “seized”. The list price is 500 dollars... each! No one here in England says they can be repaired. Once opened up, both gummed with old fuel from standing.... both now fixed! it may not be enough to save the car ( loads of other issues) but I’m a step closer!
Thanks a lot...😎
I don't think I've ever met anyone with a skill set as diverse as yours. Design, fabrication, electronics, and most of all the common sense to make it all function as it should. Poor design these days is so frustrating. To have to use something that is poorly designed drives me crazy. I don't think I own a piece of equipment that isn't modified in some way. It's a pleasure to follow your projects and see great design. Thanks for sharing with us.
Got a big LOL out of your poor design thought. So true! I like where it sounds like you perform many mod's thru the years on purchased items knowing they are nice as is but.... When one will have an item in many years to come why not make it more user friendly!
Hi. I have been watching your channel for quite a while now.As the saying goes " genius is next to madness" you are definitely INGENIOUS without any madness. I find it very refreshing to find someone who takes care and pride at there trade. Aesthetically the craft you out turn is excellent and of the finest quality. (its such a shame the UK now produces crap on demand rather than quality by request)
I thank you John. It is sad at times nowadays it can be so difficult to find a quality part on certain things. Before installing any parts on customer vehicles there are times I will get one from another vendor in hopes it will be of better quality. Sounds like you are very familiar with that where you live too! Thanks for stopping by, Jeff.
I got to thank u so much. I bought an rv that has the same fuel pump, its pissin gas out of the seam and I couldn't figure out if it was a hose or the unit. Same exact fuel pump. I cant find any info online about it. Ur the one and only that I found on it and now I am going to repair it because I don't have much money and I got to try to fix it now that I know how. Thank u so so much for taking the time to make this video
Nice work you sound like Dan Acykroyd from the Blues Brothers 😁
That optional fuel line and pump for filling smaller gas cans is smart! I love that trick and may have to borrow that one.
wyattoneable I made one that screws onto the Schrader valve of the fuel rail, it may take a bit longer to fill a can due to the smaller opening, but it works fine and is easy to install, remove, and store some place in the vehicle.
roguesquatcher...thanks, that's a good idea too.
That is so convent. Once one has that setup you'll never be without it again. Actually that idea that roguesquatcher brought up would be the easiest to do if one didn't want to cut into the fuel lines. One just has to jumper the fp relay in the fuse box. I have used that technique to drain fuel tanks when they are rusty and needed replacement or the fuel sender needs replacement. Thank you roguesquatcher for bringing that up where that is another excellent alternative for the viewers.
Jeff you are a genius, I too have had a few of the handles break on that dorman fuel line tool, also the plastic wingnuts are junk too, they crack and spin on the metal stud. Top draw video as always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really neat Kevin to hear I'm not the only one who don't like that tool. Got a LOL on the wingnut tip. Didn't run into that one - yet! Them white quick disconnect connectors. Could never get the line on those without sanding the barbs a bit. (read that in a review too, same issue, seems the p/n was 800-116) That new tool pops them right on, absolutely no issue now!
I will have to make a tool like the one you made.
Great video as always and thanks for taking us along Jeff!
No problem John, thank you for stopping by!
really like your approaches to things. thanks for sharing.
That reminds me of my tubing connector (all steel construction) for making maple sap pipeline connections...very expensive as with all maple supplies. Keep videos coming, you have great tips.
Interesting. Sounds like that tool would last, as they should!
Always always worth watching.
Thanks Jeff
Your welcome!
Jeff, that plastic biscuit looks a lot like a pulsation damper or eliminator. I've seen them before inside residential oil burner pumps.
Thank you! That does make sense where you seen them before on different systems.
Great work as always. -Moe
Hi Moe. Nice to have you stop by. Really enjoy seeing the creations you come up with too! Gotta keep those landfill's at bay...
hi sixtyfiveford, great to see you enjoying this channel, too. Looging forward to see more vids from both of you guys!
Greets from Germany
That is nice you have a tool to do those fittings ...Years ago I had the panel off an old micro wave and used it for the clock on it
Cool. I like hearing when things can be re-purposed instead of pitching. I always like the optional cost on those type things!

Ooh thanks for reminding me, I have one of those 80s kenmore nukers stashed away in the horde.
That helped remind me about the junk newer nuker I have, that needs to have a big bottle of gasoline warmed up in it😬
Good luck my dear friend and family🎉😂😅
very interesting on oem line i just heat it up a bit with a heat gun idk if it will work on your aftermarket line you should try and make a video. never had a problem with it doing it with a heat gun
Loved the video. Da Bears!
awesome man my mechanic loved it, I think he's going to do it as well. thanks for that.
Thanks Steve. Got a big smile out of that on this end!
I myself did the T thing in my old Dodge so I could have a fuel pressure gage on my dashboard. I used the truck only for plowing snow.
I put another T under the hood with snap fitting to fuel up gas cans and lawnmowers and such.
It's a good deal.good video.
Thanks
Neat to hear you are doing that too! I'd put that in the category - once one has that setup you'll never be without it again where it is so handy, not to even speak of such a time saver!
Hi how did you remove the cover case with the little crimps on the bottom?
I love it
Hi Jeff, I'm interested to learn more about the capacitor checker!
Nobody give Jeff a 3D printer! He'll have a fusion reactor up and running within a month.
This was exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks
What's up with the hawk? I just destroyed a fuel pump. wanted to see why a pump that was only a month old. Here the bottom turbine was jammed. This was a in tank fuel pump for a 89 s10 pickup. What would cause this to jam up and WHY does my truck hate fuel pumps? I purchased this truck and he had installed a new pump and hanger assembly. I never had so many issues with fuel pumps.
80s flashbacks there. I should have thought about eliminating that stupid fuel reservoir when we replaced it om my son's Bronco II. Expensive piece of poor design. I hear you on that Dorman fuel line repair kit. I remember the first time I run into those clips and had no idea how to remove them. I broke one and it was pricey to replace. Wasn't that thrilled with them.
Very interesting to hear you ran into that too! On that customers vehicle I kinda wanted to eliminate that thing too but where it was a newer customer and they don't know you well yet sometimes then I just put things back to the way they were. If I would of had the new tool then instead of using those union's I would of did the splice barbs. The flex of 2 ends at once and very little travel of that old tool, cant make it work on the bench, not gonna try on the truck! Enjoyed reading about your experience. Thanks for sharing!
it's just an inlet screen. prevents crap from tank.. getting into pump.
your video was descriptive, you gained a thumbs up....
brilliant!
Miss Pacman an a Custom hose Press , What more can you Ask for ;)
Thanks , Kenny ;)
Ha ha, You bet Kenny!
I have a fuel pump from a 2003 is300 that stops one's a week and i I Just take it out put it straight to the battery and it works for another week
What’s the directions of flow?
How in the world did you get that thing open.
Jeff that little rubber cap you mentioned early in the video have been a dust cap on original production models of the pump. I don't think they would come wrapped or boxed to the assembly plant?
That might/sounds to be a possibility. I remember many years back when I first got into rebuilding automatics at times there was a white plug with a stem on it laying in the pan. I believe it was a plug, they must have punched it in on the assy line installing the dipstick tube. One time had one in that was a fairly fresh rebuild. Someone left a rag in the pan, pressure loss, causing the clutches to slip/fail. It's sad to see when people don't get their money's worth on repairs. Seen some weird stuff thru the years, never seen that one again!
If Mr. Rodgers?? Is that you?
Thats one clean ford ranger! Can you put a link to your gas can filler attachment
Hi Dirk, here's the video link. ua-cam.com/video/VhpyCzvHGEw/v-deo.html
nice tool makin idea thanks
Great work as usual. I have a question though are you going to rebuild those capacitors later?? ;-)
We have an ongoing in-house discussion here about a battery blanket. One covers the battery and over night the battery will not only be better than new it also gets slightly larger. I think I shall try it on those caps tonight! :)
I need a gab
very nice job, so it was the oil rings that where bad?
Correct, the O ring was bad causing fuel to leak past the case/pump body externally.
Where did you get that fuel line kit? And what is your opinion oin nylon fuel line?
That kit came from a local auto parts vendor. Those nylon lines are a nice alternative vs steel in a high road salt area which we are.
The new pumps on direct injected engines are even more sensitive to running out of fuel and are high dollar!
Haven't sold one - yet. Thanks for the warning. I call that - robbery without a gun!
I’m guessing Minnesota?
Close, Wisconsin.
Check valve ? No idea don't know what else that they would put in there.. who knows ?
Perhaps something to make us go - why ;>) A true stump-er for sure...!
Hi there are you available to
Phoenix
D rd dđ fit d succeed
Looking for someone to repair an electric fuel pump.
Hey Jeff, are you implying those $2 an hour employees in Mexico or China don't make quality parts....***sarcasm*** ;-)
Ha ha, absolutely love the killer comments on this one, yes-sir-re!
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS, JEFF
Ha ha, got them guys again! ;>)
Andrew Erickson
Haha i love those stickers.
I remove them after I've tampered with the unserviceable parts inside😂
Excellent video as usual , not that anything is ordinary around here !!!
hey jeff have you ever had an IQ test?
When things involve a pen and some paper - not too good at.....
Its gotta be up there. Pure genius
