I have removed and put back the tank twice. When you put back in to make it easy and to avoid struggling and lifting the tank: 1 connect the vent tower to the breathers and push the tank in place with the tower attached; avoids connecting 2 difficult to get to hoses, 2. Push the rear of the tank into place (with a small jack) first while supporting the front of the tank on blocks about 150 mm high above the ground, then put in the back cross support with its 2 bolts loosely screwed in. 3. tie a string or wire round the plug up into the fuel gauge signal and pull this up into the car cabin. Make sure that as you raise the tank this plug comes right up through the hole. You may have to verify this when doing step 4 other wise the sender wire will get stuck between the tank side and the body . 4. using a small jack push the front of the tank up slowly but don't jack so hard that you put a dent in the tank. 5. Put in the front support strap by putting grease on the rod so it does not fall out of the strap and then screw in the bolt of the left hand side of the car. If you follow this you will find it easy to put the tank bank in as no lifting is required. from Jeff
Wow I had no freaking idea that MR2's fuel tank looks like that, elongated shape, right in the center of the car. Weight in the center and low, It's actually a brilliant idea!
Sarah you are amazing . No fear . Saving a Toyota gemstone for future generations to enjoy . We will never see this level of automotive excellence again in our lifetimes .
Keep the random nature clips
The fact that you are going to steam clean that fuel tank tunnel makes you an Internet treasure. So happy to have your channel to watch!
Watching you is always fun. Never change.
Probably the ONLY time you don't want your jokes to be fire!
You sir win the inernet for the day...
Toyota Service Manual - Instructions for replacing fuel tank:
Step 1: Disassemble car
Step 1 get a bigger lift,
Step 2 look at MCM and see their video on how much of a pain this car is.
IfI is
I lol’d so hard when the coolant started pissing out on the floor 🤭
Edit... I’ve done more than a few fuel pumps in my day. Some without the need to remove the tank. Most I’ve had to, last being my weekend fun toy (an 87 t top foxbody I upgraded to a aeromotive 340lph pump). Mr. DOS though.. holy complicated in comparison. Kudos on you. Great work 👍🏼
I love your humor .You are like the writers for the James Bond films.
Your knowledge and love of cars is 100 miilion times sexier than instagram posing by any damn lass! Excellent!
I love your OCD! Your videos are super informative...but, knowing you clean everything up makes them perfect! Keep churning them out!! Mr2 is awesome, but bring back the Tot!
Nothing wrong with you...getting it right is worth it. Do it right first time and you know it’s done. Total respect, dropping a tank is no easy task.
Locating the Right SCREW is on everyone’s bucket list!
😂. Love your humor!
You work so hard and obviously spend additional time to do some nice editing. I don't know where you get the energy.
Sarah, thanks for what you do!
I'm feeling motivated to work on my Mazda3 now because of your example.
I don’t have any energy left 3/4 through the day.
5 hour energy and cocaine.....
The reaction to innuendo was the funniest part. 🔥🔥🔥
You've been fighting Mr Dos for years, and I don't think I've ever heard you complain about the MR2 for being an MR2. Just another reason Sarah is awesome!
I learned a long time ago to appreciate what I have.
I hope your nails are tax deductible. They're the best mechanic nails I've ever seen.
Love the RATM shirt.
That tank is a crazy design.
Gtechniq makes a ceramic coating for Black trim called Gtechniq C4. It lasts for 3 yrs and is very easy to apply. Now is the perfect time to apply the coating to protect the brand new finish and not have to worry about putting on dressings every couple of weeks. Nothing makes a car looks old and tired as fast as faded black trim. I use it on both of my cars and trim still looks like day 1.
I've always loved this model MR2. After viewing your videos I'm reminded how lucky I am to never have actually owned one. Nothing seems to be easy to service or repair. kudos to you for your perseverance and patience.
You are a trooper. That looked like a total pain. Lol loved the unintended consequences of screws, not wanting to be wet and less we forget the difficult nut.
I love your OCD when your taking apart your cars
"What is wrong with me?" Nothing at all, you're amazing. I just spent $200 on some hard to find used rubber gaskets for my 35 year old VW.
same here , spent similar for rubber mounts on a 30 year old gsxr-750 motorcycle ... fun times :-))
Spent $90 on 9 suspension bolts from Honda today and hundreds more in the past few weeks on plastic clips, push pins, o-rings and seals. That's on top of going to the junkyard like 5 times to get other things they don't sell anymore.
@@CouchMan88 - junkyards are called "Parts Recyclers" here Down under,.. also known as Mechanical Therapy Days. There's an odd peaceful joy to finding the right parts for our toys.
I had a 91 MR2 about 20 years ago and they can be a pain to work on...you went beast mode on that gas tank...nice work!
No need to drop coolant, just move the pipes out of the way. Also check the current draw on the fuel pump. It's much higher than the MR2 and the Walbro 255 so you could melt some wires if you don't update the wires.
Great video. I have to replace the pump in my sw20 so i am happy to find this video. I had to watch it twice though because i got too distracted by her beauty the first time. And thanks for the tip about using a 2jz fuel pump as an upgrade, i did not know that.
Every piece that came out I was thinking, yep Sarah is going to clean that, and that, and that, and that.... oh and that, funny joke, and clean that.
Total respect to you, I did it on a 4 poster and it was a job I never wish to repeat.
Another tip is to grab a fuel pump electrical plug from a scrap yard car and connect up two long leads to it. Then you can drop the hose off the discharge of the pump and slip on a long length that you run to a fuel can with the tank still inside the car. Now you can run the pump from a battery and drain the tank completely before removal. Of course you could also just drive it until it runs out too..:)
I also replaced my old wiper area plastic tray and vertical trim around the windscreen on my land rover disco LR4. No mater what restore product i used it still just went back to faded stained looking trim. Looks nice and fresh every wash 🍪. Your project is looking pristine.
The easy part is getting that out. The difficult part is getting it back in and hooking up the lines. You may want to either buy a new fuel filler hose or use a hair dryer/heat gun to heat soften up the filler hose a bit as they stiffen over the years and it's super difficult to get back into place that way. The Evap lines are a PITA and since you have A/C lines those can be a pain as well. What makes this job even more difficult is the heat sheild you have to remove whereas the first generation MR2's had a plastic cover that was much easier to remove. Don't know why Toyota made the fuel pump in a place were you have to drop the tank to get it out but I know it's mostly for safety reasons with the long hardlines that are running to the engine from the top of the tank. That braided covered hose usually cracks on the end or both ends and 'should' be replaced but also can be reused and more than likely won't be a problem b/c the clamp(s) are forward of where those cracks are and all it is is vapors.
Love the electric screwdriver sound as you remove screws with a screw driver. Reminds me of Airplane when they played the sound of a prop plane when showing the outside of the jet. LOL!
Greeting from Malaysia. I started watching your channel randomly these part few months; snippets here and there. Then due to the lockdown, had more free time and started watching the Mr Dos playlist right from the beginning and no other video. It took me about 3 weeks but I'm all caught up now on Mr Dos and have not watched any of your other videos. You definitely have my respect and subscription. I hope you also change all the related wiring on the pump and etc since you have access to it now.
On a side note, (for Mr Dos at least), this video has the most innuendos. Not complaining. LOL.
Your vids are nothing short of amazing!! Funny and humorous content!! Yet very informative!! 😎
The first 5 seconds sounds like an adult video.
When I press play, I look away for a sec and had to double check I was on the right site 🤷🏻♂️
Richard Justice same here not sure if I had the right channel 🤔🤪
But it was enjoyable
Girl grunts!
It is friggin hilarious.. there is something incredibly funny about insanely beautiful women in awkward situations.. it's like seeing a unicorn, but the unicorn has its horn stuck in a tree.. 😁
$65 for screws girl ain’t nothing wrong with that! I recently pulled off my Miata front and rear bumpers and found almost every fastener wrong. I probably spent nearly $150 on every fastener and clip on those bumpers. But now they fit like factory!
All the hard work on the now beautiful paint on this MR2 has inspired me... To take my Soarer to the panel shop and let someone else have the pain.
I remember taking my tank out. That was not one of my proudest moments. A lot of cursing, surprised the neighbours are still talking to me. Replaced the upper coolant pipes with brand new ones as leaking at the bracket locations. Expensive job that one. One bonus, had a drain plug in the tank. It’s a 1993 model
At 5:45 the spillage could have been WAY worse, yes indeed, but it could not have been funnier. LOL
So. Many. Bad. Words. 😂😂😂 But you got the tank out!!! 🎉🎉 Keep the nature clips! No one else does it and it breaks up the videos. 🌵
Your MR2 is amazing and it just keeps getting better!
Your tenacity is exemplary Sarah! And yes ... those flare nut wrenches are indispensable for tubing connections! Total respect for your abilities and attention to detail!
Crazy job with lots of hurdles and victories. Congrats on getting the heat shield and the tank out. Amazing how clean everything under Mr Dos is. Gear Wrench tools look great too. The best parts today were when you were cracking yourself up. Your innuendo game was strong on this one.
If you was taking those plastic panels off in the UK every single one of those bolt heads would snap off or strip due to rot 😂 I envy you Americans working on cars in dry climates. Also your garage is a thing of beauty.
The sound of joy at accomplishment of a dreaded, hard task!! Thanks for sharing those moments!!!
I spent $35 on half a dozen fender screws yesterday. They get you on those specialty items. Love watching you work! Your brave to jump into these projects alone.
@5:33 nearly spat my breakfast across the table. I am truly entertained.
I enjoy your channel and hang out for each video. It's educational and at the same time funny.
New subscriber here. Every one of your car names is magnificent. In fact, your entire presentation and delivery (the sarcastic relatable tone) is so on point. Love your content, Sarah!
I admire the fact that you are able to disassemble and do those kinds of jobs single handedly and keeping your legs flawless at the same time.. 🥰.. i'm one of your greatest fans!!
Ah Sarah, less that 2 minutes into a video.
Well done. I believe this is a new record.
I just replaced the pump on my MR2 aswell, it's funny that I'm now watching you do the same thing. Cheers Sarah n tuned.
This is how a regular person does automotive work, not all are pros with FSM at our whim. Love it Sarah, Get 'er Done!
Greetings - tis me from the UK again :) - I find your can do attitude where nothing phases you most uplifting :)
Hydraulic jack under the tank when dropping and lifting makes things easy. Helps if you make a piece of metal, to attach to the jack, thats the same shape of the tank so it doesnt slip off.
Get some bigger blocks between the car and ramp give yourself more room, you look like a sardine in there.
Sweet looking car, going looking for videos of it on the road now. Best of luck getting it back together.
I applaud your willingness to tackle the fuel pump....
I know how you feel doing this job, just dropped the fuel tank you my self on my 90 Plymouth Laser RS turbo. Keep up the great work, really enjoy the videos.👍🏼
Sarah disassembles the whole car. "It really wasn't that bad of a job."
Right.
I blame gas fumes. Maybe internet gas, too.
I think I like this channel so much because your are so thorough at everything, cleaning, repairing and taking your time for stuff. The other car build channels are more like if it works its fine dont focus on it anymore...
Sarah pls don't trust those ramp's! Just throw some old wheels under ur wheels or put a couple of jack stand's under there aswell as abit of extra insurance.✌🏼
Its a job we have always put off too (need to fit an upgraded fuel pump before some new injectors) .. It is as bad as i imagined .... well done...hope it goes back a little easier.. 😲
Just did the fuel pump on my MR2 last weekend when it was 100+ in my garage (Tucson). I now feel your pain...
There is always more fuel in the car than you think. I once flooded the workshop with fuel when draining a tank that should have only had a tiny amount left in it. The floor was nice and clean afterwards though, so not all bad
Coffee filters are great for filtering.
I laughed, when you covered the anti-freeze, Arizona dust.
Also, I had a similar lift like yours, you or Charlie could fab a 6"x6" hinged piece of square tubing to get you just a bit higher. Flip it up when needed, or for get about it. Mine was the same height as the side rail.
Great job Sarah, always waiting for the next video
Hi Sarah, Should have watched Mighty Car Mods when Marty did the same thing a few weeks ago. Nightmare!
It wasn’t that difficult of a job, just awkward on your back.
At least Marty has a proper car lift...that definitely lessens the difficulty.
You love a challenge! Insane amount of work just to drop a fuel tank. Imagine what Toyota dealer would charge!😱
I like the nature shots for the time lapse.
Hi you can use a paint strainer inside a funnel to catch small dirt particles in the coolant when you pour it back into the system.
I was in High School when this car was new. I used to think I’d love to own one. Seeing what a pain it clearly is to work on has disabused me of that notion... But thank you - I no longer think replacing the timing belt, water pump, seals, and accessory belts on my Miata this past weekend was all that bad, after all. Perspective. Its a beautiful thing. 😁
@Sarah-n-Tuned, you are one skilled and crazy mechanic. Don't ever change. Congratulations on the fuel tank success. I know you've been wanting to do that for a long time ever since you had to bypass the heater core. 👏👍💪
Must be so nice working on cars outside of the rust belt. That thing is cleeeean! Michigan is nice, but nothing survives the salt.
So I originally found your channel looking for local tuners in arizona (Like PFI speed) and stumbled on your channel. the work you put into your videos always makes me come back to watch your new content and also motivates me to keep working on my projects.
I used a jack stand to assist when I pulled the plastic gas tank out of my 87 928 S4 by myself. Unfortunately, gravity is not your friend when it's time to put the tank back in.
Enjoy the channel! Appreciate ya do all the work on your cars. Not like dudes in Pennsylvania or Utah, etc with their big dollar exotics, C8's or truck builds. Thanks for being "real and true"
Thanks for this video. I need to do the same thing soon because I need to replace the fuel pump & my fuel hoses. Strangely looking forward to it.
You should have watched Marty from Mighty Car Mods get his tank out first!
i was thinking the exact same thing watching it
Or watching Ronald Finger remove his 20 times!!!
Can't believe how clean and rust free this old car is underneath, if this was a 90´s car from Denmark where i live, it would be very rusted underneath
Went to work at a new place several years ago and my first job there was putting back in a fuel tank from an 89 mr2 that the owners son had taken out 4 months earlier... talk about a pain in the ass... bolts everywhere. Unrelated stuff pulled off, plus it was the first time I had ever even touched any mid engine car, lol. I sure had second thoughts about working there after that, lol
I can’t believe you do this all by yourself. Everyone needs an extra set of hands every now and then.
Yeah, it’s not fun at times.
Social distancing on hard mode.
Darn it Sarah, you are SO smart! I watch you so religiously. I’ve learned a LOT from your videos.
Hahahahaha.. that intro is four seconds of pure gold.. I literally laughed out loud! We've all been there..
Thanks, Sarah! 👍👌✌
So satisfying when you got the gas tank out 👍
If you want something hard to take apart try the entire front grille and bumper on a 67 Cougar. But I made my life easier by using a product from Bed Rug Industries. Its called the Track Mat and they cost under $40 from Amazon. Size is 2'x4' and nicely padded and nothing seems to destroy it. Would be perfect for working under and around your car instead of kneeling or laying on a hard surface.
I really love your random nature clips.
Omg, Sarah, the repairs and maintenance you do on your cars is mind blowing and impressive. You have so much patience. Here’s an idea for a project car. How about you just build a car. Like find a shell of any car and install wheels and axles and interiors and carpeting. Like LEGO style build an actual car. There has to be something out there. You’ll have bragging rights to say you’re a leading wonderful woman who just kicked ass and literally built a car. Everyone talks about project cars and you have done your share of repairs and replacement of parts. Just an idea! Keep up the great work!
"Wait for it" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Making progress Sarah!
At 4:21 Smart move Sarah better to be Safe than Crispy 🚗🎫
Reminds me of my college days when I dropped my Pontiac Fiero's fuel tank for pump shenanigans too. That was the first time, but not the last!
Awesome job in getting the fuel tank off. I really love your passion for cars especially Mr dose. Great attitude and vibes on the repair. Thank you byyyeee Johnny from Chicago
Ah the pains of used cars. I’m really impressed by your self-motivation
Very nice work Sarah. Love lol moments and wrench turner language
OMG, the "Wait for it...." on the coolant warning just before the car pees all over is priceless!
once again miss Sarah with the informative vids, thank you Sarah for the hard work that you do keep the vids coming...
7:42 I love your shirt
you opening the door on your toolbox with all those box end wrenches kinda got me excited lol
Very nice job. Always a pleasure to see a competent mechanic work.
This video has made sure of something for me. I should not buy the Quickjack. Just doesn't lift high enough to justify the price. Seeing a much smaller person than myself underneath that proves it out.
Hey Sarah, when I re-use coolant, I pour it through a paint strainer funnel into the cooling system. Gets all the chunks out.
I am awaiting for the next video... how the fuel tank would go back in... it would be fun.... piece of cake 🤞🏻
