This is my second fuel pump for my escape in under two years, your video is the best help a person could ask for, clear sight of the details involved, combined with your commentary, makes it so easy. My problem has always been with the clips and tangs, I break those things all the time, so thank you for all the extra attention to that.
I have seen other videos similar to this and must be said that you explained the process so well that is impressive. I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge, I truly appreciate it.
Thanks a ton for this video. Made the job on my Escape extremely easy. I don't think you skipped a single little detail that might hang someone up. Much appreciated.
Took me almost 30 minutes to put that blue ring back on after taking lots of deep breaths calming myself down...yes I think preheating the ring makes it easier to put back on which is a good idea...comes out easy enough but a frustrating to get back on...but the vid helped heaps thanks 👍
OMG AWESOME VIDEO, I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TO DROP THE TANK, THANK GOD FOR YOUR VIDEO!!!!!! AND THE FUSE LOCATION,-I LOOKED ALL OVER FOR WHERE THAT WAS, YOU SAVED ME A LOT OF TIME!!!!!!!!
after over a week, i finally was able to get the locking ring screwed on straight... whew what a job this was for a long time... hope i never have a fuel pump go bad on my mazda tribute...
Your video is A1 thorough and excellent.. Thanks so much! I'm in the UK and they want to charge me an exorbitant sum to replace the pump in my almost pristine Mazda Tribute 1800 4x4 2001 model. Looking at the condition of other videos in my search I can see that my vehicle is worth hanging on to.. So there is extra value in your vid..! :)
Hey great video I could use some help though! That first electrical connection you pulled off is not there in my vehicle. I was wondering if you knew what/where that connection is?
Are there any Escapes that require removing the fuel tank? I have a 2003 V6 model in the shop and they told me they had to drop the tank to replace the pump. Of course its the weekend, but I will check with them on Monday (they have not started yet). Thanks so much for the video!
Thanks for the Video, I've got a question though. My 2009 Ford Escape's fuel pump looks slightly different. Do you have any tips for this year's model? cheers,
I believe I have info either in the video about this or in the description. Its been a while since I made the video, but I believe the strainer in integral to the fuel pump. You may want to read the description or watch the video again just to make sure. Or you can just ask your parts pro.
Great video but you didn't show the hardest part which is to put the ring back on. And I'm badly pissed off as after numerous tries there's still a leak. Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
I did show this. Watch the video from 11:15- 12:02. Also please pay close attention to the text on the video. Also, please read the entire description of the video as directed toward the end of the video. Hang in there pall. If you can't get is sealed properly it may be time to get some help from and experienced tech. Good luck to you. Be safe. Make sure that thing does not leak.
Thanks for the reply mate. I have used the same method using a pry bar and hammer in the past too but this time it's just not happening. Even with an additional pair of expert hands. Strangely, it's the old blue ring which is refusing to go back at its place.
They can be tough at times. The trick is to not let the ring get cocked. They like to cross thread. Sometimes it helps to take a 10 min break and then try again. Even I have problems with these at times.
I'm sure by now you've either done it or had someone done it for you, but if the ring won't go back, the best thing to do is simmer the ring in hot water for about 15 minutes, particularly in cold weather. The ring expands and starts threading much easier.
ive now tried for over a week to get the locking ring screwed back on straight... its a son of a gun to line up the fuel pump correctly, hold the pump down while screwing the locking ring back on straight... ive now called my mechanic to come to my house to help me to screw this ring back on straight... this is a very very poor design by ford.. my suggestion is ... pay to have the vehicle towed to your mechanic and let him replace the fuel pump... maybe he will know a trick on how to do the job...

No problem at all.
Thanks for posting your video. I had never changed a fuel pump before and after watching your video I was able to do it with great success.
I have seen other videos similar to this and must be said that you explained the process so well that is impressive. I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge, I truly appreciate it.
Glad it was helpful!

Hey great video I could use some help though! That first electrical connection you pulled off is not there in my vehicle. I was wondering if you knew what/where that connection is?
What vehicle are you working on?
Are there any Escapes that require removing the fuel tank? I have a 2003 V6 model in the shop and they told me they had to drop the tank to replace the pump. Of course its the weekend, but I will check with them on Monday (they have not started yet). Thanks so much for the video!
I'm pretty sure you just pull the seat up like the one in the video.
A Shop Vac would be very helpful
Yes, it absolutely would be. Great suggestion!
Thanks for the Video,
I've got a question though. My 2009 Ford Escape's fuel pump looks slightly different. Do you have any tips for this year's model?
cheers,
Don't have any video's yet on this one. Sorry.
no strainer ???
I believe I have info either in the video about this or in the description. Its been a while since I made the video, but I believe the strainer in integral to the fuel pump. You may want to read the description or watch the video again just to make sure. Or you can just ask your parts pro.
Very good Video.
they don't tell you that the ring is a bitch to screw back on straight
Great video but you didn't show the hardest part which is to put the ring back on. And I'm badly pissed off as after numerous tries there's still a leak.

Ive notice the new pump has no streamer
Yes, I believe I either put information about this in the video or the description.
ive now tried for over a week to get the locking ring screwed back on straight...
its a son of a gun to line up the fuel pump correctly, hold the pump down while screwing the locking ring back on straight... ive now called my mechanic to come to my house to help me to screw this ring back on straight... this is a very very poor design by ford..
my suggestion is ... pay to have the vehicle towed to your mechanic and let him replace the fuel pump... maybe he will know a trick on how to do the job...
