    Ya gotta hold the lever halfway before tightening screws, to centralize the diaphragm. Who's gonna piss about with their pump if they don't know how. It's a long walk home.

Unfortunately, majority of the videos are no longer available. I would like to see them uploaded here, plenty of learning and reference material. Thanks Neil & Jay !!

    I just ordered a rebuild kit for my 55 Buick roadmaster so i looked for videos like this. The ethanol must be why it's leaking and burning oil. I don't use ethanol anymore. 110 dollars to fill it but my baby is gonna get what she needs.

    years ago, had a '66 chevy 1/2 ton with a 283. Loved that truck.
    Came out one morning to go work, turned over the engine and knew right away something was wrong. Turns out the diaphragm in the fuel pump was bad and the crankcase was full of gas. It really does happen.

    Fuel pump pressure can affect carburetor flooding. Please explain how critical it is to check manufacturing specification to ensure the pump is not pumping too much gas into the carburetor.

    I drive a 74 Beetle. In Minnesota. There just ARE none up here, I've driven all summer. Seen ONE. I'd have to wait a week for a replacement pump. NO off the shelf replacements. I went electric in 90. now in 13 I'm on pump number three. The Ethanol was trashing the Mexican pumps.

    10% Ethanol is the country wide standard, the new E15 has been approved only for vehicles MY2001 or newer and is supposed clearly labeled. Stations that sell other Ethanol blends clearly mark them as E-XX to indicate the increased Ethanol content.

    A bomb... and maybe that's why they switched to electrical pumps with pressure regulators? I would have liked to know more about your thoughts on that. Had no idea that could happen with older mechanical pumps. Very interesting learned a lot. Thank you.

    @getahanddown 11 років тому

    Note people he didn't say sand it smooth, he said flat! It needs some crosshatching to bite into. I also like to do the screws up (not tight but all the way). Let the seal go off then another quarter turn to cinch them up. Doing it up tight while the goo is runny just forces it out.

    Also a lot of premium grade gas is ethanol free. I have an early CIS VW and ethanol eats at all the rubber gaskets in the fuel system. Car runs much happier on premium and no ethanol worries!

  • @bkcamaro
    @bkcamaro 11 років тому +1

    electronic fuel pumps get hot so having it in the tank keeps it cool thats why its hard on your pump if you run out of gas or not keeping at least 1/4 tank of fuel

  • @TheCynicalSquiddly
    @TheCynicalSquiddly 11 років тому

    That's pretty much the case with all cars these days. I believe the reasoning is that it's easier for a pump to push fuel from the tank rather than pulling it. It also frees up a little engine bay space. But I agree, having to take a tank out to replace a simple fuel pump is not ideal.

    I have replace many electric fuel pumps only once did the tank have to be removed maybe we have a very different fleet here but usually there is a inspection panel in the boot you can remove to get to it. side note they are close to fully sealed the electric pumps but they use the fuel as there lubricant.

  • @MrXyzasdf
    @MrXyzasdf 11 років тому

    I I believe the presenter was metaphorically speaking when he uses the term “bomb”. In this example the bomb could mean the disastrous damaged cause by dilution of engine oil when mixed with gasoline; which consequently provides for no friction protection from the moving parts of the engine.

    To help out one of my favorite car shows - after the video edit is done, export the audio and toss it in Audacity (free audio software). Then do a quick compression using the default settings for 'Makeup gain'. Export the compressed audio back out and into your video editor. You will have high-volume sound w/out clipping, and your quiet bits will be a little louder so it is more listenable. Or hire me for sound editing :8.

    not sure if alot of cars have it, i work on boats and they have a line that runs from the pump housing up to the carb so that if the pump fails and leaks it kills the motor reducing risk of "bomb" like the pump guy was saying.

    And IF it's the fuel pump, replace and don't let the tank get below a quarter full.
    I can't tell people how many of those earlier electric pumps I sold back in my parts days, and all because people refused to keep the pump submerged in gasoline by running it too low on fuel on a regular basis.
