    Everyone knows that if you spray brake cleaner on a long lost car peanut, it brings it right back to that "just picked" state.

    Was just about to doze off and that fucking train horn hit. Not time-stamping it, I want somebody else to suffer as I did.

    Hammer and chisel away worked for me. 👍

    We did this yesterday with a grand looser (land cruiser ) for the same reason. Way to check fuel pump 1 check electrical 2 check fuel level by putting a gallon / 5 litres in it then remove tank and we had to disconnect the drive shaft ( it had the grease nipple in the shaft joint.

    That horn blast scared the crap outa me too haha.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BellaRocko says:

    Good Job, Ray! That was interesting and enjoyable to watch. I like how you leave everything in! Thank you!

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thaiko Karma says:

    You still fail at keeping fuel parts clean, i gotta say. Pressure blast the sand right into the fuel lines from the tank. Nice.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aepek says:

    You really do make this kind of work so much fun, and yeah…..entertaining; all while actually showing us some knowledge….WHAT😱
    If only mot teacher in school were like this, school would actually be fun, and not boring that wanna just fall asleep, lol.
    ✌🏻

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Henry Duke says:

    When you was putting the gas tank back on I've never laughed as hard as I did when you was trying to get the hose in the other hose look like that gas tank was a b** to get on but you did a great job!!

    Those GM pump housing swell over time and then want to get stuck coming out.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Henry Holiday says:

    Im laughing about the air chisel….. I was saying…. here it comes, here it comes…. ray is gonna use an air chisel….. here it comes…. bwahahahahahahahaha…….. I love it…. I wish I could like this video twice or even three times…. BTW…. I hate doing fuel tanks…. they are miserable….

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adam Tom says:

    I have used a big screwdriver myself. Using an air chisel would scare me not that it could spark a fire, but I could cut a hole in the top of the tank which would really suck. Now if I have to do something like this, I would use a brass punch instead because that won't make sparks when hit with a hammer. But I hate dropping fuel tank they are so big and dirty, though easy enough util you have to remove and replace all the connection….Good job.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James fatula says:

    its easier to plug in those 2 connectors to pump ehen tank is raised halfway up then plug it in then done all the way up

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Trae says:

    That bolt happened about the same time my phone hit my face, good timing, you actually hit me with the bolt, lmfao, love your videos man, you, rich, and SMA are by far my favorite auto repair channels

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R Rich says:

    "It's bolted onto the…. HOOOOONNNNNKKKK…". Thought you were bleeping yourself out for a second Mr. Rainman… kinda surprised me too.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars caddyrack says:

    Get ready Ray the couch engineers are out there to tell you not to use the chisel to remove the ring, plus, who knows how many more things they find wrong with you. I would like to see them doing jobs day in and day out without making mistakes. Keep up what your doing, it's YOUR SHOW. Cheers

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Hedrick says:

    Don't feel bad Ray. I've done fuel pumps like that for years. It was the way I was taught to do it

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dave Morton says:

    You could, of course, to get around any fears of sparking, use an aluminium or brass drift instead of the chisel……

    I enjoy this show. I like to restore vintage Hondas and when I was able, work on my own cars/trucks. This is fun for me to watch and I wish I could still do it. Not anything close to your learning curve, but small stuff (before Google) I could do. Thanks buddy

    You should be wearing some safety glasses when working under a crusty vehicle, just sayin.

    Not to nitpick, but if one inspects the position of the power switch of the first jumper box, one may notice it was in the 0 position and not the | position…
    As for gasoline….
    I've worked on Fuel Dispensers (gas stations) for 30+ years. We hardly ever worry about sparks from a whickity whack device. BUT….
    When the boss or OSHA is hanging around, we have BRASS tools. Brass or aluminum pipe wrenches…. Brass impact hammers, and brass chisels. very cool tools, non-sparking metals. … Like being in the bronze age. THAT will keep the REEEEEEEEEE OMG it's gonna blow up!!!! guys off your back. Get a brass hammer and impact transfer tool if it makes you feel better about sparks. It is a way cool tool to have and people will stop griping.

    Fun fact, a cigarette is not hot enough to spark a fire unless it hits the ground and sparks…. for fun we old timers used to get the young techs and be smoking around a bucket of gas (for some reason 80% of fuel techs smoke.) and when they say, won't those cigarettes blow us up with all this gas around?, we would go… lets find out, and flick a lit butt into the bucket…..SSSSSSSSSSSSSS… out it goes.
    Gas does not burn, only gas vapors burn. They must be mixed between 13 and 14% vapor to air to burn, at stoichiometric proportions. Any more vapor, no fire, any more air, no fire. just like inside an engine. Not only that, a cigarette burns at a lower temperature than the flash point of gas vapor.
    With that being said, an empty tank is MUCH more dangerous than a full one. The more vapor in that confined space – the more dangerous it is. a FULL tank is not very dangerous at all except for spillage and the spill catching fire, because the liquid does not burn. Luckily – when a fuel pump goes out, people's first instinct is "its out of gas" and fill er up thinking the gauge failed. This is why 90% of the time when you have to change the fuel pump, the tank is full.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron Farmer says:

    I'm not a mechanic.. is easier to pay someone, but I was wondering why you didn't drain the fuel out of the tank when you had the pump out? Wouldn't it be easier to put the tank back into place if it was lighter and then add the fuel back in when your done?

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Oscar Jones says:

    Video reminds me of why I always just loosen the bed bolts, unplug the harness, and tip the bed. So much easier

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Roberts says:

    I think that I will not do my tank. Leave it to the pro. !!!

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars M Lemo says:

    I always did truck fuel pumps by taking the bed off. Easier to deal with. Milk crate and holds the bed up then you're on top of the tank.

    Was it just me or did it look like there was 2 holes drilled in the side of the gas tank

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jimmy dan says:

    no fuel filter replacement?

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 2491kridge says:

    I know everyone certainly has their own way they’re comfortable doing things, and who am I to tell another tech what to do, but as a professional tech you really shouldn’t be using meters to run circuit tests, especially when you’re pulling up 7.5 volt readings, you really need a load bearing test light

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Smart says:

    Usually the only time a chevy fuel pump goes,is after you fill the tank!

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tom Beilman says:

    Needs the duct tape repair on the front seat plus headlight restoration

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars neil ward says:

    Love your work, but just 2 comments. Judging by the blueing on that chisel, it looks like its been on a grinder, that's a no no, you should sharpen a chisel with a file. When you blew the top of the tank for the second time, all the lines with open ends were facing you. hope no dirt was blown into them.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stephen Mast says:

    As soon as you said you weren't going to use the hammer and chisel to REMOVE the ring, I said to myself "this guy is going to piss them off and use his pneumatic chisel. " and sure as shit…

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff Zilla says:

    Good work sir! Sarasota only being a 1 hour 45 minute drive for me it might be worth bringing my vehicle up there. I had to replace the fuel pump for my 2009 Toyota Rav4 and I had a hard time with it due to a lift and the right tools

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 21PSD says:

    The air chisel is much safer than a hand chisel since the compressed air will blow the flame out should the gasoline ignite. Maybe sort of.

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Winzlo says:

    Curiosity, but why didn’t you drain the tank with suction or something before removing it, and then refill it when you installed the tank and had everything reconnected?

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BillFromAZ says:

    The whole time the tank was coming down, I was holding my breath. Thought for sure it was going to fall off the support.

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ThatCatMuffins says:

    non rusted out tank straps unheard of . was a mechanic up north for 7 years.

    When putting the tank shield bolts in, we get to see the highest quality safety squints in existence. 🤣

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars King ranch says:

    I know what’s wrong with it, it’s out a gas

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff DeWitt says:

    Some things were a lot easier in the old days. Fuel pump replacement open the hood, clamp the fuel line going back to the tank, disconnect the fuel line going to the carburetor, remove two bolts, then pull out the old pump. Then reverse the procedure to install the new pump. I've done it in 10 min.

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Ocker says:

    For spark fears use brass punch and no sparky sparky, nice work

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars pcs0snq says:

    So many comments:
    Great video. One of your best. Love the “make in clean spray bomb” taunting of your haters. The opening one with the gaggle of them made me Laugh out loud.
    Having dropped my C2500 Burb tank for a pump replacement in a parking lot, I’ve decided draining the gas first is wise. Remember filling up every car by mine one time. 😂
    On the ring, a large brass punch is what I used for the hold down ring. A useful add to your tools, or not.
    Lastly, I’d like to poke the engineers eyes out that overlooked the addition of an access cover in a bed to make this job reasonable.

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Isaac Ray says:

    Ugh yur chubrole haz jaundice eyes. Must be an alcoholic. No wonder. I know what’s wrong with it it ain’t got no gas in it 🤣

    A nerf football and some duct tape will fix that driver seat perfectly

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mr. Sleep says:

    Had a fuel pump die on work truck at almost the exact same miles. Same engine, different year.

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ty hawkins says:

    Ray, love the videos! Just one thing, don’t burn Brake Clean. It produces toxic gas. Use carb clean. Keep safe and keep the videos coming.

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeffrey Evens says:

    Ray, I liked this video so I tappy tapped the like button.(as always) I appreciate all you do for the goodness of mankind!

  70. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Duane Slim Harris says:

    I see you stick your finger in that inlet hose…..😆

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jonathan Williams says:

    Why not lift the bed of the truck instead of dropping the tank? That's how I did them in my Chevy tech days, when it was possible.

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars julius liles says:

    Seriously Ray, you either have three hands or you have a leprechaun assistant.

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Todd Birge says:

    maybe its a magnum brand???

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Byers says:

    Seriously I don’t have an ounce of mechanical ability, but I absolutely love your videos! I wish I had your skill set.

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark G says:

    The proper tool is a brass pin punch. The air chisel can also spark. A hardwood stick can also work. Two ratchet straps can be used to lower and raise the tank further than the tran… Transmission jack. Oops. I said tra..y. Will YouTube censor my comment?

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Yeah Right says:

    That's probably why the pump failed in the first place. People constantly running it on no gas will do that. What people don't realize is the gas also cools the pump. Never go below a half tank if you can help it. You're gonna need the gas anyways so what's the difference except a $600 fuel pump replacement.

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kennynva KE4HVE says:

    I still do not know why there is not a cut out on the bed to get to the pump…as far as bolts sticking up in the bed, you could use counter sunk screws to make it a little smoother.

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Job38 Four says:

    Amazing you was able to unplug and re-plug those wire connectors on top of tank while tank was in place but your tank and fuel pump removal leave much to be desired!!!!!!!!!!

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Springer says:

    You being a smart ass is why I watch your videos.

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Austin Farley says:

    I know some people will complain about hitting the gas tank with a hammer, but that method has worked for Jeremy Clarkson… probably too many times.

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars old biker says:

    sometimes Ill just take out the box bolts on one side and loosen the other side and tilt the box up , all depending how rusty and crusty the unit is.

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TOM Macek says:

    Great job Ray. I still think that the parents of the mechanical engineers really wasted their money on their son or daughter’s education. Either that or Timothy Leary was their instructor. Have a great weekend. PEACE

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Sensabaugh says:

    I love that you make brake clean the star of the video 🤣🤣🤣

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Hasili says:

    Please use BRASS drift pins or chisel, better than being severely burned and scared, especially with any flammable fuel.

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Boatbroke says:

    I'm sure someone has made this comment, but removing the bed is way easier than dropping the tank. It also eliminates the risk of spilling fuel.

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don's Junkmail says:

    Yeah I remember you on a previous job eatin that open box of cheezits in that old guys car…

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars IronDuke502 says:

    I have a question for you.
    I have a 1990 Ford F-150 with the dual fuel tanks in which the front fuel tank doesn’t pump fuel and the engine will shut down if you switch from the rear fuel tank to the front fuel tank while the engine is running. There’s no fuel pump whine with the front fuel pump whatsoever when the ignition key is turned on as is the case with the rear fuel pump which has the distinctive whining sound when the key switch is turned on.
    My question about my front fuel pump is; Does Ford use the exact same style fuel pump as the GM style fuel pump that was replaced in the video.
    I do know that with my 1990 4.9 engine that the fuel pump pressure has to be around 60 psi to work properly. So would my fuel pump replacement be similar to the fuel pump replaced in your video. From my memory, I think that with the dual tanks that were on the Ford trucks that there was a fuel pump in each fuel tank as well as the step up fuel pump located on the frame rail.
