- Thanks for watching! I'd love feedback regarding the style of the video, tell me what you prefer in terms of longer videos, do you prefer the instructional style or do you rather shorter to the point videos with less information.
I make a lot of mistakes removing the fuel sender, but I figure it is better to be transparent and show the struggles I had in hopes it will help you by learning from my mistakes.

Great video, bit jealous, I've just swapped my tank... in the UK, outside in the pissing rain and cold. Everything rusty and shit dropping in my face. I do like the welding hack too.
THanks for the video mate. Going to try this on my 98 Ford Courier. Original 2.5L NA Diesel now running a 2.8 intercooler turbo off an Isuzu. Was hoping i could reach the sender without dropping the tank but now it appears, there's no way around it but to drop the darn tank.
Cheers mate! I'm glad my video could help you in some way, yeah it's a bastard they didn't make it accessible through the cab
Fantastic vid, many thanks, camera work is good enough for me, I like the instructional style, long format is good for me, and the mistakes are important for me to know what problems I might encounter. I'm going to drop the tank on mine. I enjoyed watching your welding hack that was genius! It's so rare to find an Aussie posting a good video on couriers.
How'd you go? Sorry for the late comment but I hope you get it done or got it done without any dramas!
Good job mate. Finally someone giving these utes the respect they deserve. Love the videos and want to see more.
Thanks mate! I love them they're great machines. I appreciate the support it means the world.
Good job mate. Lucky i found your video, about to do the same thing on my ford courier
Cheers for watching! Glad it could help you in some way.
great channel mate. enjoying it. cheers
No worries mate, hope you can get something out of it :)
Good job I'm sitting with the same problem and I'm now we'll inform when I'm going to the machanic ✌️👍
Glad I could help mate, hopefully you've got a trusted mechanic who doesn't take you for a ride.
Oh, and as for your question, I prefer more detailed videos than short ones. However, I'm guilty of showing most of what I've done to mine after the fact. I need to start taking time to put a bit more interesting, useful info in my videos.
Didn't realise you made videos until you mentioned it now, just went over and binge watched your channel hahha, love the content mate keep it coming! Also I know exactly what you mean, so easy to finish the job and then say fuck! I should have filmed it hahaha.
P.s I reckon you rock the Tongan shirt.
@@Finndawg Cheers, buddy. Yeah, my channel is a bit random. Mainly to let my family know I'm still alive :)
Seems simple enough, time to have a crack at fixing mine
Do it, well worth doing :P
Hey just found your video. Where did you get your fuel sending unit from? Looking at replacing mine in a b2500 4x4 and can't see any online. My fuel gauge works until half a tank then drops to empty.
I have this exact 1/4 tank problem. I'll be interested to see if my float has broken off too
Good luck!
best thing to use on those shagged screws is a manual impact driver, I reccomend the Koken Attack driver, got me out of many a shitty screw
I didn't show it, though before I did anything I emptied the fuel tank of any fuel, so I'm not welding on a tank with fuel in it.
Cheers! Finndawg
"Do not try this at home. This man is a professional stunt welder and is working under controlled conditions".
I don't think I'll use this method on my ULP tank...LOL. I will add that when I had to replace my filler hose, I had the tray off and cleaned everything up on the tank. Other than dust and dirt build up, it was pretty dry and clean. No rust.
Hahahaha I still can't believe the decisions I make sometimes, yeah I definitely would never do it on a petrol tank. Well that's good, dirt and dust is one thing, rust is a whole other demon
@@Finndawg Yeah, I'm pretty lucky. I don't think this thing went on a dirt driveway, let alone a dirt track in its life. That'll change before the end of the year.
Hey mate reckon you could make a video of you just driving round giving it some with the big turbo?
Yeah g, what are you wanting to see more, gauges or actual footage of the ute?
@@Finndawg a bit of both and what stuff you’ve done to the pump just so others can compare their egts to what you get
@@charlietaylor1456 Chur g, I got you.
Hi mate, where did you get the new fuel sender?
Can you send a link?
So sorry for the late reply, I never got a notification for this or saw it. I ordered it locally through bursons but its for a diesel tank, I know the petrol ones are slightly different
where is the fuel pump on this pickup ...please ... thanks
Hey mate, the fuel pump is on the right-hand side of the engine directly below/adjacent to the air intake manifold. It is a mechanical fuel pump and there are no electronic pumps attached to them. The petrol however would most likely have a pump inside of the fuel tank, though I have no experience with them.
@@Finndawg cheers mate ... much appreciated ,,,
Grind the heads off and mole grip the studs out after you take the lid off mate
Great suggestion mate, I just kinda winged it, your suggestion would definitely have a good shot of working.
