I pay 2.5 dollars per liter of diesel. Dont know about gallons freedom eagles per mile etc but thought it would make you less irritaded about your prices
Often I use ratcheting straps to lower the tank
Kermit in the background during the reclicking the fuel hoses was good
He's got "One Bolt" "One Strap" and "One Beer"
i would think never enough current on circuit to burn plastic
I was shouting at the screen "You forgot the fuel filler hose clamp" but you remembered. I knew you would.
never mind
Why do Americans pronounce Nissan as NEE-san instead of Ni-san?
There isn't even a soft "e" in the word let alone a double hard "E".
Regardless I still think your videos are excellent and have given me many hours of pleasurable and informative viewing.
did you remember to tighten the filler hose clamp
I have replace 3 fuel in the tank fuel pumps and 2 “not in the tank” in my time as a driveway mech-nick. None of them have ever gone that smoothly.
Those; pumps are over 60 70 grand I had to buy mine respect them
PUSH! PUSH! PUSH! Yeah, with 10,000 pounds of cargo! in it! 😆
I KNEW U WILL FORGET TO TIGHTEN THE FILLER HOSE…… Do U require to wear steel toe boot ??????
Neet flashlight magnet @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Like the tik tok video goes "I know what's wrong with it, ain't got no gas in it"😂😂
Super easy job dropping the tank on this one always nice beating the clock when removing the tank over using the Inspection cover @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Next time install the retainer clip on the pressure line then just install the line on the pump.
Cheap gas $5 for 30 gallon, I pay 30 gallon =113.562354 for €1,99 per liter = €226!
Lol
From hammer and chisel not used on tank lock ring Aww But pneumatic Hammer and chisel Bit used Lmfao 🤣🤣 good one @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Did you tighten the clmp on fill hose?
I would like to hear what the customer says about empty tank.
Was Rolly Chairs a country star?
Curious was there a smell that came out of your shoe when you blew the air in them?? LOL
[Karl] It ain't got no gas in it.[/Karl]
Got to love it, I drop by for a dose of real life, clicks and gravity service.
When you pushed the van in, I was worried that you might take that guy's door off of that GMC Duramax Diesel. (Yes, I know that it's yours, Ray). Also, I 100% agree with you on your choice of tools to remove/install the locking ring on the pump!
Jackhammer it 😂😂😂I love it
If you look on the fuel cap door on most vehicles there is a metal hook welded to the door, it's there for you to hang the fuel cap instead of it hanging on your finder paint
Best dam part shoe ac 😂😂
87 octanes for three dollars and 69 cents YEP!!!
Since access was supposed to be through the cargo floor; I am amazed Nissan did not make dropping the tank a next to impossibility. You'd think they would have buried those strap bolts. I think you got lucky fella.
For a vehicle with 99000 on it the under side of it looks brand new.. I'm in northern Illinois so you understand my amazement
On your fuel tank door. Their is a little tab to hang your gas cap
Howdy Ray! Good day to you sir!
Vehicle diagnosis… " It ain't got no gas in it"!! END OF TRANSMISSION!!
I'm glad you were aware that you did indeed have to demonstrate the flashlight magnet.
I was gonna comment if he remembered to tighten down the filler hose clamp decided to watch til the end before I did and happy he remembered lol good job ray
Finally a flashlight magnet that won't keep falling down like that "snap-down" 😑
It's funny. A lot of people think it's the liquid part of the gasoline that burns when it's not. It's the vapors that are flammable and they don't float up. They actually float low to the ground like a fog.
Hi Ray.
do check the sender unit before you replace the tank i got pissed of once I did a rover 214 1.4L and didn't check the new sender unit i had to do the job twice the worse thing was its bolts where rusty a couple broke man I had to get the old broken bolt's out that took me AGES lol still have nightmares about this to this day 🇬🇧☕👍🏻
Oh Ray, Ray, Ray – we ALL love rolly chairs. That's why we watch. We know they're coming – we just don't know when…
A hammer and chisel is the only tools I've ever used to get the rings off. Been doing it for 40 years and haven't been blown up yet.
You could always use a brass punch or chisel to do the removal and install of the retainer ring.
Pulled a fuel pump out of a customer's vehicle one time. Found the fuel tank 3/4 full of sand. The authorities got involved with that one.
Back in the day we used tri-chlor as a solvent. We had one guy that would always smoke around it. Man I hated that. Thought if he ever got lit up, too bad for him. The camera inside the tank was a little dark, you should have lit a candle for more lumens.
Had an '85 GMC 1/2 ton with dule tanks. Just died on me one night. Next day buddy and I spent 8 hours trying everything from filter to lines to pump to get it going again. Turns out the crossover valve faild and switched to the default tank, which was empty. Didn't want to remove the bed to access it so drained the full tank and ran off the one that worked.
You forgot the filler, did you remember the vent?
Ain't got no gas in it.
2002 Nissan pulsar/what ever the hell they call them in America access is ub=nder back seat rough guess 15-20 minute job.
Off topic, here's a little query i've always wanted to know? What equipment does the garage provide for the mechanic; do they supply the battery charger, AC charger, floor jacks and welders or do the mechanics have to provide that equipment for themselves.
POS
I can't stand those new epa fuel nozzle on gas cans trying to put 5 gallons in a vehicle and having it spill is a pita
The first video I have seen on a Nissan nv series van 🎉
The audacity of you to use a chisel in such a way! You're canceled! 🤣 I think people complain about anything these days.
Diesel is 5.89 here in new castle Indiana
Wouldn't it be funny if it just ran out of fuel LOL
Bro complains about fuel prices but drives a dually as his daily driver 🤡
I know what's wrong – ain't got no gas in it
Not a fan of the NV200. Drove a 2015 for a company I worked for 4 years ago … thing had absolutely no power and with that CVT, screamed at 3k RPM from just off stopped all the way to 70MPH, which only took about 2 minutes or so. And that was when it wasn't loaded!
Today Vladamir Putin met with General Secretary of the Communist party of China Xi Jinping. Speculation about the purpose of the meeting was that it was either about energy or the war in Ukraine. I tend to believe that Xi is not pressuring Putin to abandon war in Ukraine but may have mentioned the danger of fighting around a nuclear power plant cooling system. It is clear that Russian oil is making it into the global market by circumventing sanctions and that will likely continue. China gets much of its energy shortfall through the South China Sea and if they can get pipelines from Russia then they will not have to worry about an American blockade shutting down their country should they invade Taiwan. The massive Covid-19 lockdowns in China have helped ease global oil demand at the same time the US has been releasing strategic oil reserves to lower gasoline prices domestically. Another reckoning is coming when millions and millions of Chinese drivers are allowed back on the roads and the US has to rebuild the strategic reserves. My guess is that happens after the elections in two months. The Democrats don’t want record high fuel prices alongside the record high inflation.
How much are we also getting a good deal on barrels from the Saudis in exchange for not pumping American oil? The Democrats have pretty much said screw big oil, buy EVs. I highly doubt they will put federally subsidized fast charging stations at existing gas stations. They will have to put them at strip malls, grocery stores and good old shopping malls since a, “fast charge,” is at least a fifteen minute wait. Nobody wants to hang out at a gas station twenty minutes when they could be window shopping environmentally conscious and ethically sourced whole grain artesian breads or hand made soap or whatever crap they are being sold to free them from the guilt of turning the planet into a hell on Earth.
Communist dictators will be testing our resolve and attacking more Democratic nations if they think they can get away with it, literally turning Taiwan into a hell on Earth while we are deciding how to stop sea levels from rising two inches over the next 90 years.
I can’t see how the result will not be drastically higher prices at the pump stoking the fires of inflation short of total market manipulation from dirty deals with guys using bone saws to silence any voices of dissent. I did write a metal song about it. The overriding lyric is, “Jamal got the bone saw!”
I just don’t think politicians can get away with bald faced lies in the information age like before. Lying to people insults their intelligence. Old school politics has to give way to transparency regardless of how ugly the truth is. I am working the polls again in November and we have some pretty lousy choices. It’s like the old Bush vs. Gore giant douche vs. turd sandwich metaphor endlessly repeating.
Half of all people are below median intelligence and it feels like many more than that. The internet has revealed depressing stupidity on a massive scale as well. Time to say the serenity prayer I guess.
It was funny to see illegal immigrants bussed to Kamala Harris’s house. I may go to California to hug a hobo since that seems to be a good a reason as any for Cali tourism. Man there were lots of junkies on the sidewalks with needles hanging out of their arms there. Maybe fentanyl being the leading cause of death for Americans 18 – 40 is just a way to deal with the homeless problem. I now wonder if any of those junkies I saw laying on cardboard and laid out clothes few feet away from multi-million dollar condos were already dead. Would you prefer to hug a live hobo or a dead hobo on hug-a-hobo day?
Man I need to spend more time with scholars, Christians and kids. Society’s ills are a downer.
Oh yeah, good job Raymond. It was nice to see you get an easy one after struggling to tighten exhaust bolts with scant access. In the eternal words of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: “Tubular!” 🤙🏻
your coworker has a beautiful singing voice. He should quit and go on american idol. So we don't have to hear him sing in your videos again.
No no no, you gotta use a hammer drill/jackhammer with a brushed motor to remove the fuel pump retaining ring. Brushless just won't do. You need that blue-green light coming from the motor, that's how you know it's working and that you have the right tool.
should you lube the o ring on the tank. i did that when i changed mine on my 87 jeep
Wow Ray. You really brutalized the new fuel pump taking it out of its wrapping. You are getting hurried and sloppy. And at the end of the video, what do you keep pointing at? I see no fuel gauge.
Does rainmain theoretically work for goodyear or napa? I recognize your procedures and work space and it screams goodyear all day long
Likely the fuel pump was fine
I have never had a car with a fuel pump go bad, even on a VW Jetta VR6 that had 316,000 miles on it…and neither of the 17+ other VW's into the hundreds of thousands miles on each….since 1987 hmmmm, I drive a lot….or a sender unit, weird why some models have some issues, and others don't when parts components are practically coming from same OEM vendors
damn it man. Sorry i commented before the end of the video. My apologies.
don't remember seeing you tightening the fuel fill hose clamp on the tank side. I am sure you did it but i did not see it. awesome video.
Ray, you attached the filler hose, but you didn't clamp it. You said you would come back to that and I didn't see that happen. Was it forgotten or one of those ''while we weren't watching' things?
NV stands for No Vamos
That gas can is not nice and shiny
Brass punch, Ray, brass punch…
"Oh I think I forgot to tighten something". Yeah I've had that thought, after the vehicle has left.
only a suggestion, consider using some contact cleaner on the electrical connectors.
Ray, you could use a brass drift pin to persuade the lock ring in place.
Forgot that lit match to see inside tank
Locally..
87…$3.99
On road diesel…$5.49
lol ray blowing his feet
Re in Comments don't use hammer or chisel with for install or removal of fuel pump you know they make a removal tool right don't start any fires
Buy a brass chisel, that will solve your sparking concerns
Holder
It amazes me how many people watch your work videos and notice the slightest deviation from the norm. Saying that I can feel the addiction to watch is beginning to increase over time. No antidote at the moment but scientists are on the case.
I didn't see you tighten the hose clamp where the filler pipe connected to the tank…
There is actually a torque spec for the ring
Best tool I have found for the ring is
Chrysler Miller tool adjustable fuel pump ring tool
Works on all in tank fuel pump securing ring
And can actually torque it to spec
Probably today
50 bucks
Well worth it
2019 with a key to start, i thought all cars went push button
I have a 5 gallon tank I bought in the ‘90s. It doesn’t have one of those stupid EPA nozzles from hell. I can dump 2 gallons of gas into my tractor in about 30 seconds. It’s like a dream come true.
Ray, have you seen a lot of GM vehicles, mostly trucks ( Chevy GMC ) with fuel pump problems? I used to own an 88 Sierra ( beautiful truck ) and it was fast. I had a pump that went south for the winter. This happened eight times, and at a install/part rate it was 500$ I asked, why they’weren’t under the shop part warranty. I got a very short answer. Because they’re built in China and try getting your money back from them. It’s not going to happen.
Rubber care by Wurth
Use it upon reassembling
When you mentioned you wouldn't use a chisel again I thought you were going to come back with a screwdriver or a brass rod or something like that.
Technically it was out of fuel. Good reason to not run.
Forget hammer and chisel spark possibilities, let's shove live electronics inside a chamber filled with explosive gasoline fumes! REEEEEE! Ha!
When he shot air in his boots i lol.
We are paying the same here in AUS for Diesel. I feel your pain
