Thank you so much bleepin jeep. I’m 17 with a 1990 xj and don’t have enough money to be taking it to shops. Your videos have helped me so much with little project I need to do like my gas tank leak. I’m gona try and tackle it today. Thank you so much!!
Im 17 too with a '93 these videos are a godsend lol. Just had to replace my alternator and without these videos i would be shelling out hundreds that i don't have.
Thanks for sharing I could actually see what was happening. I’ve been watching your newer videos for about 5 months.
I just have to say Thank you, you're the man. I have now successfully changed Fuel pump lock ring seal and ujoints thanks to your videos brother.
I guess it's kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Kylo Callum lately I have been using Flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Alejandro Kenzo Definitely, been watching on flixzone for years myself :D
@Alejandro Kenzo Thank you, I went there and it seems to work =) Appreciate it!
@Kylo Callum No problem xD
Thanks so much friend. This was a big help
Thank you so much for showing us how to take out the sending unit! The locking mechinisim in which you have to use a hammer & chisel or screwdriver is what confused me alot.
Omg thank you you video save me some piece of mind my jeep was leaking every time I would fill it up now that's got me think that it the rubber ring ... thanks again
Just a safety tip Matt, you should never use a hammer and chisel/screwdriver in this manner as there are fuel vapors all around you and the tank and 1 spark from striking metal to metal and its all over buddy. If striking it is necessary thenn use a block of hardwood or an old wooden hammer handle or piece of broomstick. Often though, striking is not necessary, just gently lever the lock ring by placing the screwdriver against the fuel outlet and one of the tabs on the ring and it should rotate relatively easy. Also always brush away any dirt or grime before removing so as not to get it in the tank. As always, a nother great vid mate. Cheers.
***** True, but the majority of non trade certified DIY'ers would not own a brass punch , nor deem it worth the expense for a tool they probably would only use once. As a trade qualified mechanic of 30+ years, I own a variety of brass tools for a number of purposes and also own the correct ring lock removal tool for this job but again, would not suggest a backyarder to take the expense of purchasing such tools when a humble piece of timber or a lever of some type if used correctly will suffice and do the job safely. Cheers.
I just dropped my tank in my 89 xj that's been sitting with fuel in it for over 10 years and I found the rubber seat/hose on the sending unit had melted and stuck to the inside of the tank and I was just getting ready to start scraping it with a flat blade when thankfully my dad stopped me and handed me a wooden dowel lol. I knew not to light up a smoke but for some reason didn't even consider sparks from metal on metal.
You should use a magnesium or flint chisel
Fuel isn't that combustive, I've been doing it for years and I usually have a cigarette in my mouth while doing. While I don't recommend the cigarette obviously, using metal tools has never caused and spark sufficient enough to light the vapors.
Side note if it were to catch fire just plug the hole with a shirt or cloth and the flame will die. Be safe and don't burn yourself 😉
@@kevinjudge195 You are so wrong, I saw my B-I-L get airlifted to a major burn center doing exactly this with a screwdriver 🤕
Thanks for this video.
is there a part number for that seal
Does anyone know what is the oem fuel pump in the v8 zj grand cherokees? Just replaced mine in a 98 5.2 grand cherokee with a bosch, but pulled out an AIRTEX? I remember reading not to buy them as replacements but did they come stock?
great information
Excellent demonstration I love those Jeeps the best American vehicle ever made thank you for your information try to see if you can make it video with that same process with the Jeep the fuel pump mounted to the Jeep to show people how to do it with it mounted up to the Jeep thank you
are you supposed to lubricate the seal gasket before installing. if so, what do we lubricate it with.
I'm having a fuel related problem with my 96 xj . started out only wanted to run really rough after engine temp was up to normal. but now it's doing it on cold starts as well doesn't want to take or give fuel. when it tries to die I can pump the he'll out of the accelerator and it will clear out usually. after this happens when I'm moving if I floor it it Boggs but I can let off a little it picks up
My 2000 Jeep XJ 4-door 4x4 has a problem. One day I started it up and I noticed that the fuel gauge was stuck on empty when I even put a full tank of gas in. Would it possibly be the fuel sending unit?
My jeep is a 2005 liberty. Will the process be the same?
Is there any trick to getting that little strainer that fell off in the tank, to stay on the fuel pump. I bought a new fuel pump and strainer/filter and can't seem to get it to stay on securely without it falling off once it's in the tank, it just sort've sits on the end of the pump not very securely.
Was hoping you were gonna bring up the bucket inside the tank and where it's supposed to sit. Mine is banging back and forth and while I can't get the box to fit out the tiny hole, I was hoping to be able to get it back in its place. Any thoughts?
Gracias amigo...!
Do you have a video for a 2004 Jeep Liberty for the speedometer and fuel gauge ? My speedometer and fuel gage don’t move
I couldn't find the right size muffler bearings for my 97 xj
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
I have a quick question. I have a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis GS. the fuel gauge does not work, I know its a faulty float. When I go to the auto store, the only pump assembly that it suggests is one without a float; how will this one work for my car? just fyi, I have the fuel pump hanger assembly in the gas tank. Now, the fuel pump for a 1991 is the fuel pump I need. Any thoughts on why the computer might suggest a fuel pump that is clearly not the one I need? Thanks.
Hey where can you buy that full sending unit?
Pretty sure my 1996 XJ has that setup. Fuel filter is external and the last time I was up in there it looked like the fuel pump access was in front top of tank.
They changed that either later in 1996 or at the beginning of the 1997 model year, iirc.
Thanks 👍
Im having issue with the seal its self the aftermarket part that i got came with a regular o ring and its not sitting right can it be that i need a square cut o ring to have it sit correctly
Any tips on putting it back in? I've removed the pump (gas tank in) and while sliding the new one in I cant get it to sit in there correctly no matter how hard I try. I've even tried putting the old one back in to see if the one I bought was slightly different but that one won't go in either. I feel like this is a me problem as I haven't found anyone else with this issue. Thanks for the videos, they are my go-to whenever I have issues with my 1990 cherokee.
Its hard sometimes... It helps if the tank is off the vehicle. you have to get that foot in a little hole thats down there in the bottom of the tank.
Any tips on this ? I am currently trying to put my new one back in with the tank in the jeep and can not get it in there for the life of me
I have a check engine light and got it hooked up to a scanner that gave a 0462 code. I replaced the fuel lever sensor but the check engine light is still on. I have taken my vehicle to two different mechanics. One said the float is bad, the other says its the cluster that's throwing the code (which doesn't make sense to me because everything else reads besides the fuel gauge) PLEASE HELP, I cannot get my vehicle registered with this issue. Oh, I have a 2003 Nissan Maxima by the way.
I just replaced my fuel pump on my 88 XJ now every once in a while when I go to accelerate the jeep with start jerking and the rpms will jump up and down like it's not getting gas or maybe too much gas my first thought was maybe the o ring didn't set in place correctly, anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
I'm late (Jan. 10, 2020), but I'm here! Was this fuel pump LOUD? We put a new one in mom's '91 Limited, as well as thoroughly cleaned out the tank after it sat 5 yrs. It runs good again after our tune up, but this brand new pump is so loud.
Same here. A brand new pump whines so loud, it drowns out the engine from inside the car. Mechanic said some are just noisy. It's been 8 years now, pump still works fine, but is noisy. Oh well, I just turn the radio up.
If you have reduced fuel pressure but the pump still runs, you may have a bad piece of fuel line on your unit like mine did. I watched your video before digging into my 90 Jeep Cherokee Limited's fuel pump which was putting out just 15 PSI making the engine run like crap with no power. I removed the fuel line from the pump outlet, added a length of fuel line into a gas can, and jumped the fuel relay socket to drain the tank. Then I wrapped the end of a big screw driver with several layers of electrical tape and used it and a hammer to loosen the locking ring and nothing blew up. I could not wiggle the fuel pump unit all the way out of the tank hole, but did find that the short piece of 5/16 fuel line at the top of the unit had turned to mush and was leaking back into the tank reducing the pressure. I replaced that piece of fuel line, put the unit back in the tank, and then had 32 PSI at the fuel rail again and it started and ran like it should. BTW, I have found it much easier to get at the fuel pump unit if I jack up the back of the Jeep about a foot to raise the tank and also get a little more clearance between it and the axle - I use a Hi-Lift jack under the tow hitch to raise it up.
thanks for this comment. I have been troubleshooting a low fuel pressure condition on my gf's 93 XJ for about two weeks now. after replacing the injector o-rings and putting in an in-line check valve, I pulled the pump out and sure enough the 5/16 fuel line had a big split in it. you're the man.
What brand fuel pump do you recommend?
Same as mine. Pump is buzzing like crazy. Pump was replaced less than 2 months ago. I fount that the XJ doesn't have a Resistor Ballast or vice versa. I have no idea where to connect a new one in case it quiets down the pump. I read people saying that the pump is ready to die, that it lasted 5 years like that, to put Transmission fluid on gas tank to lubricate (huh?), and many things. Help please.
Some pumps are just noisy. The mechanic who replaced mine apologized, but said if I wanted to wait (we were 100 miles from any decent sized town) he would try to find another, but insisted that this wasn't the first noisy whining pump he's installed in a cherokee. 8 years and 50K miles later, that pump is still noisy and whining, but works fine.
Can you elaborate on what problems you were having with that fuel screen not being attached?
Probably that it was reading that he had gas left but car acted like it's empty since the foot was no longer reaching bottom of the tank
Question:
I have a 97 Cherokee, and I need a fuel pressure regulator.
Is that also referred to as the sending unit or is it something separate?
I have the same question, did u get the answer? Thanks in advance
Quick question for you, when I hook up a fuel pressure tester it reads about 30 psi. When I rev the motor it acts like its starving for fuel and wants to die out, psi will drop completely on the tester. Do you think it's the pump?
Cory Smith I’m assuming you already found the probelm but I would say change our fuel filter first then go from there
I have 90 xj having a hard time finding a fuel pump for a 13.5 gallon tank or can i use the 20 gallon pump
not sure, I would grab a 20 gallon tank if it'll swap right over... I assume it will?
Hello: can I put a faster electric pump/ I usually have to crank it more than once and also hit the accelerator pedal to start up the car first time or more than 2 hours after turning engine off

Thank you. Now its not so mysterious. last t week was the CPS. It ran for a Week. Now its something else. .... I will Follow the videos for help.
Welcome to Jeep/ Chrysler products - if you aren't into wrenching then it isn't for you. Personally I'm getting a bit tired of the endless issues - and my XJ only has 65 k on the clock...
@@andycheatle1732 Luckily, the older Cherokee 4.0L' XJ's are really easy to work on (relatively speaking). It's kind of fun to always be addressing some little thing or other. Bleepin' Jeep is a great resource for all DIY'ers.Thanks, guys! Hey, my 94 Cherokee has 306,000 miles on it. Engine is still very, very strong. Other stuff is bound to need attention, even if it's just because it's 25 years old. Keep wrenching!
hi, i need a new sending unit for my 96 jeep xj sport. can you tell me of a good place to get one for the best value online? thanks
ditto. I can't find a complete unit anywyere. does anyone know where the entire unit can be purchased? there's one on ebay for $220 but that's robbery.
Quadratec has complete units
Bosch is the only brand I trust for fuel components
The Quad is expensive… Rock Auto has a unit half the cost
hello all i was getting my gas tank off my cherokee 88 but when i dropped down i get the fuel pump all black with some gooowie thing black in all the whole tank and the fuel pump and the tank have a little hole on it but it dosent have rust can the gas tank be repaired thank you sorry for my bad english
+karlitron45 ya you need to clean out the tank very well and then get some tank repair from the auto store.
Changed both tank and pump due to rust, now it makes a constant humming noise any ideas?
I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0 I replace I was having trouble and the truck stalls and I was told it was the fuel pump replace the fuel pump and it's not running still it turns over but is not running anybody had the situation please let me know
Hi from Egypt. Just bought an XJ 1998 and it is doing 30 Liters for 100KM. This is almost double the normal consumption. The car doesn't have the oxgen sensor . Is this the reason or could be anything else.
Definitely
I know I’m a couple of years late, but is that Gomer Pile from the Andy Griffith show lol
Where and what is the part
Works for a 92 Comanche!
Safety glasses don't work very well on top of your head, and never wear a watch or ring while working on a gas tank.
ok captain safety
Oh yes, the unit has no fuel filter. Why would anyone eliminate it I have no idea but I'm installing one right away. Someone mentioned that the fuel filter had something to do with the noise on account of back pressure?
I replaced fuel pump on an 86 jeep and the new pump will work when sitting in a coffee can of fuel, but when i put it back in the tank it hums as it should, but it will not work when in the tank...?????????????????????????????????????help
did you replace fuel filter
My 95 is the same so I think it’s 96-97 for the relocation of the sending unit
I replaced my pump now my gas gauge is all over the place, any ideas?
Bad ground somewhere it sounds like
I have a 96 jeep Cherokee that won't start, it turns over and I can smell the gas. Please help me figure it out?
spark plugs?
Putting the fuel pump back in would've been better for the audience. Heck, you had the gas tank out anyway. Also, how did those things fall off in the tank? Is there a proper way to install the fuel pump so you don't have things falling off? How are they attached? etc
شغل عالي جدا تحياتي لك
can you use muffler bearing in your tank to gently stir the fuel before it enters the flux capacitor?I've heard it keeps the edge on your mud tire knobs if you set the coordinates to skip,improves fuel economy by continually topping up the tank too.are you gonna do a flux install vid?
😆
can i spray the lock ring with some sort of a cleaning agent? mine is really dirty and wouldnt budge
skydayang I guess you could powerwash it then spray with penetrating oil.
@@bleepinjeep
If you'd like to know a secret.... as an Orielly manager I'll tell you we do have a part number for a flux capacitor. It's 121G. Now you can go torment your local store. 😂
Funny, my hand will not even get close to getting into that tank.
ของเรา Jeep ปั๊มติ๊กเสียแล้ว ....
Matt’s amish says
Is he hitting a metal chisel with a metal hammer on a gas tank? That might not be the safest way to go about it.
If anyone cares mines a 96 and it's in the front of the tank. Figured I'd save someone trying to fix one in the year 2067 the trouble of looking . But they probably don't use UA-cam..
Wires. Remove the wires. You didn't show how to remove the wires.
