- Fixing a broken fitting or line connection on a fuel pump, evap canister, DEF pump, coolant reservoir, etc.... is often a hit or miss process. Many people will slab as much epoxy on as possible, cross the old fingers and hope it holds. But more times than none that never works! Especially if that fitting has a pressure within it. Such as in a fuel pump application.
You need to add reinforcement to the fitting then seal it up so it's airtight and doesn't leak.
In this video, I show you how to add rigid strength to the fitting that epoxy alone cant provide. I then show you 2 different ways of sealing it up so it holds for a lifetime!
First, we add rigid strength via a metal splice. Then we add an airtight seal using either epoxy or PLASTIC WELDING. Both have their place and I explain exactly what those situations are.
I provide epoxy recommendations along with plastic welding equipment recommendations and the best places to hone your techniques for both.
*You're SAVING me from putting my head into a wall. Thank you!*
Nice! Ya dont injure yourself haha. Good luck
Yes!!!!! This fix is easy, fast, cheap, and best of all it really does work. Fixed a coolant return line on my 6.7L Ford after the plastic nipple broke......I estimate it would’ve cost $1,000 to get the truck towed and hose replaced.....hard to reach hose that disappeared under the engine from the top side. Some 2-part epoxy and a small copper tube from a hardware store and your steps in the video - and I’m back up and running with no leaks. Thanks!!!!! Best fix I have truly found on UA-cam. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
Bad ass man! Happy it worked out for you. I learned this from an old school mechanic and had to pass it on.
Great trick, used on an EVAP line. Used one size smaller diameter plastic line, coated with plastic cement and it forms a solid bond inside and out. Thanks man
Man this video will save me 300+. I just Broke the plastic nipple on my fuel pump for my R6 and was super stressed until I saw this video! Thanks a lot
Take your time, use the right materials and you should be fine!
Same here!! Broke the plastic nipple on my FZ6, the assembly USED is almost $500!! This will save me so much $$
Polyurethane is an organic material . UV rays from the sun as well as temperature changes WILL degrade it. It is NOT fuel resistant.
On the other hand Silicone is an inorganic material that should last outdoors (like under your car) far longer and not be affected by the sun,oil,gas, or
wild changes in temperature and humidity. Silicone repair tape with the metal tube reinforcement put inside the tube to hold the parts together
is the way to go here. That is the part that is most important. The Silicone tape is 1 inch wide and does conform to uneven surfaces.
It can handle temperature swings from -60 degrees to +500 degrees. Make sure the surfaces to be wrapped are clean first.
Thx for the video bc the nipple broke off evap system and I almost had finished replacing fuel pump and bolting everything down!
Yeah man - really helpful thank you!! BUT i couldn't help noticing that fuel line looked like it needed to be replaced also! haha I just pulled similar looking hoses out of my motorcycle's gas tank. They were so hard the broke apart like glass. AND I've got one stuck on a plastic nipple that I need to reuse. I'm not sure how to get that old, VERY HARD plastic hose off of the nipple without breaking it. I might dremel cut it off but not entirely sure if that's the best way to do it.
Years ago had jeep tank bust on me tank split where the pump goes in .So I'm a welder I got handfuls of zip ties f.Clead tank of all gas first and welded that mother up ..I'm maintenance tech at a tile plant
We have a brick printer that paints brick with different prints that the customer wants. Well the little pumps are 650 and only thing that broken was the nipple were the return lin an pressure Lin go into the pump its like 1 /8 in .I told them give me the part .So now I'm about to do what you just did thanks for the pointers have a gooden.
Seal-all says does not work on polyurethane Palomar Plastics how did this hold up for you?
I have small EVAP line broke of right at the fuel tank on my Nissan Titan. I will try your method to get it fix. Thanks again!
Broke my bike fuel pump and ur video helps , thanks for sharing
Thanks bro! Helpful for the broken fitting on my fuel tank reservoir where the cap scews on!
That was awesome! I have 3 broken fittings, I’m still trying to get the broken pieces from the quick connect, and I’m down $255 for a née fuel pump just because I didn’t think there was any practical way to repair the plastic nipples.....all this started over a check engine light with an upcoming emissions test that would have failed my 2001 S-10 blazer. What’s even worse is that I just replaced the fuel pump 3 months ago and check engine light turned out to be that the ground wire on pressure sensor pigtail pulled out of the connector. Incidentally I found out I could buy the new pigtail for $35 and I am now trying to figure out how to splice some longer hoses to fuel pump if anyone has a quick way to do this please send me the link! If only I had searched for this broken fuel pump connector video before I ordered and installed a new fuel pump I could have saved myself so much money and grief! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills!
Yes I agree with what you're saying it happened to me and I am laughing just as much as you are and trying to figure out how to repair it thanks for the idea I will try that out I am not going to replace the pump
Thank you for posting this, Chrysler doesn’t make the green top module anymore, did this and worked beautifully. Saved my vehicle until I upgrade it
Love hearing this 👍
Thanks for that because im dealing with the same issue
Good luck
Awesome guide
Used the same method on a air intake housing 10 mins ago👍
Thanks I broke both fittings on a 06 c230 today and I'll try your technique
Have you ever tried Oatey for PVC, CPVC, and ABS All Purpose Cement ? And if so how were results?
I like your fixes. I might look into that plastic welder thing more one day. I know I have had terrible outcomes trying to solder so yeah I like crimp fittings😁
👍
Thank you! You make it look so easy!
Pretty sweet fix... I like it! Thanks for the mention. Good luck to you my friend.
Thanks Pete. Its just a bunch of fixes coming together for the right reasons lol!
I have an amg c32 and fuel pump is $1500. Mine broke at the elbow. Any suggestions on how to seal it off. It ironically already has a metal tube going down it to reinforce but the plastic cracked.
Pretty helpful, especially using a re-enforcement piece. Lessons learned from me; get the right kind of marine grade poly. I bought the wrong one. Whoops.
thank you for the tip, if it works it saved me over 200 dollars in part and shipping
Hell yeah I like it I broke that nipple off and the the one closet to the front of 97yukon I hope I can fix it I wrecked the truck and I need to test drive it to see if everything's good I don't want to spend any more money if the steering is all messed up ...but looks like It can be fixed looking at this video ...I'll let you no how it works out thank you again
Great Idea! Thank you for the video. I'm going to give it a try.
Thanks for the help!!you saved my fordfocus mk2 now
The plastic welder is the way to go man but you have to have electricity nearby to use it. At Menard's I bought a 3 in 1 torch that has a torch, hot blow and solder tip.
You can pick one up there for $20. The thing runs on Butane and the smaller solder tip allows more control in melting the two broken pieces together.
I save the cut-off portion of plastic zip ties to use as plastic material for strengthening the welds.
It leaked every time. Good advice on the small pipe fitting!
I received one unit (Fuel Pump Assembly for 2001 Saturn SL2), it is OEM, but the central tube isn't pushed all the way to the end, like a gap ~2mm to where it is supposed to be. I thought maybe to use heat gun a bit, but was afraid to damage the tube (and the unit is ~$330). Also I saw in some films they use a heat gun in combination w/push gun, so maybe the heat won't be sufficient by itself. Maybe to use the hair dryer to try, it won't hurt anything. That type of connections you can see on many aftermarket FPs, if you want to replace just the motor, you would need to disconnect and put back a lot of those w/wavy surface. Can you tell what is the best way to fix it? Thank you for the great film.
Great job on the video! Makes sense to add support in the middle. Just did this on my SuperDuty
You have to reinforce it otherwise it's a fingers crossed crap shoot.
What do you use to degrease the parts? I'm attempting to use 3M 5200 for the repair on a diesel fuel tank 'pump' housing.
What about a heat gun to soften up each side for the splint to slide in easier / tighter?
Thanks man. Awesome video. Nobody offered a solution like this. Now I can fix the broken nipple to my sump effluent hose
Thanks bud. I'm glad it helped. Let me know how it works out. And consider subscribing to the channel! Happy New year!
Excellent.........thank you very much.
That is a solid piece of advice
I have an amg c32 and fuel pump is $1500. Mine broke at the elbow. Any suggestions on how to seal it off. It ironically already has a metal tube going down it to reinforce but the plastic cracked.
Good lord !!! Your smart !!! Thank you !!!!
You dont see a provlem with reducing the ID of the hose????
Thats like something I would do myself! LOL However, when it comes to fuel lines, I wouldnt go that route for the risk of it letting go and the possiblility of fire hazard ect, its just to great a risk.... for a vaccum line, Hell yeah but fuel lines, not worth the potiential danger.
Does the sleeve affect the fuel flow?
Thank you
Thank you!!!!!!! I stepped on mine trying to get a bolt on.
Lol. Hope it works for ya!
JP Auto & Fleet Services it worked!!! It actually worked!! #1 only drill just enough to get it to snug the fitting, #2 used seal all, and lightly as possible hammered fitting nice and tight and #3 let it sit for half a day, then it ran perfect and sold the car and have never heard back from the buyer with any issues
@@carlos52321 thanks awesome brother!
You just saved my life lol
Nice,,,
I’m doing my best to fix my rad on my Im about to use brass and the plastic to the original rad
Thanks alot love it
👍
Will putting a piece inside the fuel pump affect fuel delivery? I snapped mine trying to take my tank off my motorbike...
Samyan Napaki no negative effect on a car so should be same as motorcycle
Thanks man
Thank you for the great tip.
Your welcome hope you made it work!
Can I just smash it on the ground and keep jumping up and down on it to fix it?
Definitely a good idea. But putting that steel pipe with a smaller diameter will restrict the flow.
But yeah, great video.
Plastic welding work on a diesel top pump with fuel still it, work hurt? I cracked my moving the bed off my truck , just a hairline crack
What is the part number
Have you ever don't vent on Ram gas tank
What gauge of splice did you use?
I believe 16 gauge but cant be certain. It will vary for all different pumps. Just find something that fits snug
Says grab the proper size drill bit and proceeds to wobble the hole. Why not use the correct size?
Cool videos!
Thanks you!
Seal all does not work!!!!
I went to Lowe's for a brass 3/16 coupler Barb take the torch get it hot and push it in do not breathe then I took the other one stuck it in the broken piece the same way heated up with the torch and stick it in then I used 3/16 gas line with hose clamps work like a charm!
Do not use seal all !!!! Guaranteed absolutely will not work. No matter what you do it's only temporary I have the appointment for Tuesday
Its happens the fuel vapor just kills the plastic and then there is that badly designed stiff connector that gives it the last kick to break 👍🏼 like for the fix thats the only way doe
cool
If I get a new pump with a broken nipple, I'd take it back to the store.
Have this method ever caused a rich condition
That's why you get the older trucks they have metal instead of plastic plastic shit for something like that
what a stupid design
these MotherF companies want you to pay one hell of a price to replace the whole thing
I agreed with you
You drilling into the housing is going to cause plastic to get all in the fuel lines you definitely aren’t experienced
For the sake of the video length I cut out the part where I greased the drill bit and blew out the housing. Thanks for the view though!
