In a previous video https://youtu.be/1fMd0zUejL0 I showed a Chevy truck with an EVAP leak and we could hear it leaking form the top of the tank. I told you it was because the plastic fuel sending unit cracks under the stress of the rusted lock ring. Now it is time to show you what I mean.
-Enjoy!

That folks. Time for a follow-up This is the fuel tank out of that 2017 2017. Chevrolet Uh, we did the EVAP leak on it you guys saw in a previous video and it was gurgling up here and I told you guys I Suspect that the plastic fuel sender here is broken because of a really crappy design from GM and B the rust that swells up and then cracks it plastic. We're gonna explode some of the junk out of here.

Foreign: I Don't think you're going to see any of the cracks until we take it off. Usually they're all busted around the edge where the O-ring is now. I Have no way to take this off without being violent with it. Okay there hammer because we need to save the tank.

Foreign like that. Then we can try to get it moving. Be careful your air hammer doesn't chisel down into the tank. Foreign go all the way.

Grab another rag. Josh Foreign foreign. This one looks like Taft broke. Yeah, sure it is missing half this lock which at the end of the day really doesn't matter.

there's that one. that lock was here broke. Okay, the only nice thing about this style is you don't have to buy all the fuel lines now. grab some brakes on there.

Josh This is Joshua's third fuel pump this weekend. GM so it's getting pretty good at him typically. Uh, you know they're metal and they rot out within a couple years here. And the salt belt say it's funny that? Okay, let's get that.

Now you're going to ask the question of how do I know it wasn't cracked or how I know you know air hammer that didn't crack it? You gotta trust me people, you got it might not be cracked I could be lying to you, but I'm not. Let's see here before you pull it up out of there, we'll give it. Yes, there. she's cracked around there.

You can see it right here. I Don't know if you guys can see it, but we're on a chance here in a second. This is pretty common on plastic sending units metal lock rings and they very conveniently stick it in a well so it gets leveled up with salt and dirt and hits and then you can see right here. hopefully probably a little bit.

should probably crack right there. All right. in case you guys weren't believing me, now you do. Oink there it goes.

A little bit of luck it might fit out I usually make it so tight. well it's got lots of room. well there he is. Take the old o-ring off there.

Uh, you got a less dirty rag? Yeah I'll use this one. This one worked out pretty well because the tank was almost empty. I only had I think if you remember from the first video it said it only had four gallons in it. calculated that's gotta be pretty close to that.

We took it out, it was pretty light but we I mean Josh see the pump there you guys? We swapped the uh fuel level sensor over got some schmoo on it though. Foreign looks pretty good. Make sure you index it correctly when you put it in. We buy OEM units right from the Mad and then a new lock.

Ring Of course because I'm ready from Gm2 because they're cheaper than aftermarket. believe it or not, at least. uh, when we purchase them. Thank you foreign folks.

Just a matter of sliding it back together now. but I wanted to bring you along to show you what we're gonna find out. I'll show you what we found out. Okay, so we're saying trust issues going on there.

and if any of your locks those those locks that we took off ain't them are broke, don't get too. Uh, don't get too wound up about it because that's not really what we retains a mind there. but we'll stick them back on because we're making a YouTube video so it just keeps somebody from depressing that tab. I Guess that's about it.

and then this one was half broke so we're not gonna worry about it. it's evap anyway, so if it comes off big deal, it won't come off though so we're not too worried about it now. That's it folks. Uh, thanks for watching foreign.
