Fuel Pump Access Hatch🔥

- Replacing a fuel pump is a hassle because draining and dropping a tank is a pain. Removing a bed is a huge process even if the bed bolts aren’t rusted. Cutting an access hatch is fast and makes follow up repairs a breeze!👌

did this on my son's F150, its got some years on it as do I and this was just easier. and he has a bed liner to put over it as well.
So much easier!
I cut a hole in my roof so I don’t have to use the door. No I just gotta remove my windshield so I don’t have to use my wipers
Those analogies are so out there, especially since roof hatches.
😂😂😂😂 you hell😂😂😂😂
Roflmmao 😂
Bro I can stop laughing man damn
haha. nice
On my 93 f150 I can just loosen the straps and it has clearance to remove the fuel pump on the front tank. So pretty easy on my specific model.
That’s nice! 🤙
Great video!
Thanks man!🤙
Brilliant 🧐
Thanks man!🤙
Did this to my 92 Camaro a long time ago. Gave it to my uncle for free cause I didn't want it no more.
It’s a good mod for servicing the pump.
Its okay this way, i have a crew cab 4 doors.. its hard.. removing the fuel tank from the bottom.. myself
2006 ford f150 crew cab
GM since 1980s
Nice clean access door
Thanks man!🤙
This needs 1 million + more views
Sounds good to me!🤙
Do not do this on a 2003 F150 Supercab (the one with small rear doors) 4.6 V8. The pump cannot be accessed due to a large support beam tack welded to the bed. The fuel tank must be removed,or the bed removed, to replace the fuel pump.
To be clear, there are vehicles that this hatch won’t work with.
What about an 03 supercrew with 4 regular size doors ?
@@TheMinuteMastersyou need to reiterate that in your video before someone goes cutting something they shouldn’t
I have exact engine but in 99 4.6 v8 looking to replace both pump and filter just don’t know what to do. If I should cut a hole, remove tank, or bed idk
I've been thinking about doing this for a couple of years..except I have a bedliner. But Im thinking of removing and rhino lining the bed!!!
I have a bed liner and this hatch. I just had to remove the bed liner to access the hatch.

NICE HACK BUDDY THANKS.
I did mine a couples years ago...easy exchange
Nice!🤙
What if you have 2 tanks. One hole is one thing but two… idk if I could live with that
Luckily the pump in the rear tank was replaced and the tank is new. So I won’t have to cross that bridge any time soon. Two hatches would seem like a lot.
@@TheMinuteMasters good deal man! the hatch is a great idea for the front.
how did you bend that steel to shape?
The panel is actually a piece of bed patch panel I bought from Raybuck.com
@@TheMinuteMasters I can’t find it on their website?

This is how i know its a customer i dont want. They pull up with a hole cut in their bed.
How so?
Crazy thing is all cats should have this. Just another reason they want you to take your vehicle to the dealer for repair.
Right! How hard is it to have a hole cut during production?
Yeah I cut into my 96 ranger bed
great tip! my gauge isn't reading on none of the tanks front or back 😒
Thanks man!🤙 Replacing the fuel sending unit will fix that.
Fkn BRILLIANT 🤙👍
You cannot do this with every truck. Each one are made differently.
Very true!
So how big is your access panel?
It might be 10x10”.
@@TheMinuteMasters thanks, weather where I am isn't very pleasant and I need to do this job .... Def don't want to do the tank.
Great 👍👍👍
I did this in my Astro van. Great idea. Will it work on the f250 1999?
Nice! I don’t see why not.
I definitely considered this but I have a system to remove the box on my own that works great with a manual engine hoist it's only six bolts and everything is exposed
Yup! That’s a good system if you can remove the bolts.
Does this work on a 96 Chevy 1500?
I guess I don’t see why not.
Did that to my Mountaineer.
Did it work Sir, I have a mountaineer 5.0 liter, I want to do it
@@LuisMartinez-fr9gq Yes, it did.
Thanks for letting me know.
How?
Is this where you’d fix the valve to switch tanks?
I forget where the cut off is, but at some point in the 90s switching from one tank to the other was not done by a valve. It was just controlled by the switch next to the steering wheel.
I’m told if yours is old enough to have the valve it’s typically situated underneath the driver side cab in the frame rail.
Can you give me the dimensions in inches for your cut out, front and rear tank?🙏🏾
I would have to get back to you. Unfortunately not all has tanks are position the same and you could be a inch or two off.
Measuring for the hole is easier than it looks. Crawl under the truck with a tape measure and measure from the back of the bed to the center of the pump. That’s your first dimension.
For the other dimension, I counted the number of bed floor ridges over from the drivers side to the center of the pump. Do this from under the bed as well.
@@TheMinuteMasters Thanks, hopefully I can get a straight cut✂️ I just bedliner the bed too 🤦
@@deanmicheljunioralexis2817 It’s pretty easy to get a straight cut.
Where did you find a replacement panel?
Ray bucks.com
And then u won't understand how u got water in ur tank. What's the big deal about pulling the bed?
Still no water in my tank and I’ve had this hatch for 8 years.
you aren't going to get water in your tank. I've done this on lots of vehicles when I had to change a fuel pump. Never had that issue. Just makes it easier to service in the future.
Whats the mesaurement
I can’t remember exactly but I suggest you go through the process of figuring out the measurements yourself. Here’s why, the fuel tanks aren’t all located in the same place. My measurements won’t match everyone’s truck.
Would this work on a crew cab?
It probably could but you need to verify where the pump is relative to the cab.
Where did you get the steel from?
It’s a bed patch panel from raybuck.com
Please never do this to a third generation Camaro, do it right.
Yeah it's not that hard to drop the tank in mine rather not chop my bed up
When you live in the rust belt, it’s really hard.
@@TheMinuteMasters oh good mines from Ohio I'm in Kentucky glad I don't have that issue
Instructions unclear I ended up cutting my gas tank open wit the grinder 😢
This is a UA-cam short. You need to watch the full video to get clear step by step instructions. One of those instructions, is to place something between the tank and the underside of the bed.
You're a fuel pump will maybe go out one or two times of a whole lifespan of the vehicle so yeah let's weeken up the The bed where it will rust10 times faster to save you an hour of work and maybe 10 years
I cut this hole 8 years ago and I live in the rust belt. This is also my DD.
Also, I dropped the tank twice and I’ve made 4 different repairs related to the fuel system in that area since adding the hatch.
I'd argue that 4 repairs in 8 years does not constitute a hole in the bed you are lazy for not just doing it properly you should use alldata
Rusted bed in a few years
It’s literally bed liner protected
I cut that hole 8 years ago. It sure is taking a while. Lol
@@TheMinuteMasters I'm guessing you don't live where there is a ton of road salt. Upper Midwest that salt will start to eat away at the edges in a couple years
@@ColeSpolaric does Central Iowa count as upper Midwest?
@@TheMinuteMasters yeah.... I'm shocked the cut edges haven't started to rust
Dropping the tank isn't that hard it's trying to get those rusty ford fuel lines off.
Dropping the tank or removing the bed takes a long time if you live in the rust belt.
You right about that
That is dumb
How so?
How so?
Lol well that's not the fuel PUMP. But ok
looks like the top of the fuel pump hat to me
This is 100% an OE fuel pump I installed 8 years ago. Nice try.
@@TheMinuteMasters did you use rivnuts to secure it? i did this to my bed but need to secure it, thanks!
@@TheMinuteMasters I thought was a diesel and the pumps on the motor but also I guess you can do this to your bed but seems like you wouldn't really need to service fuel pump that often unless you need new tanks
@@thePEACH210 fuel pump issues are very common on the gas models, especially those with dual tanks
