Anyone that wants to replace their fuel tank B&R auto wrecking their out of Washington area and they can ship to you. I feel like this video is a temporary solution for now but I think I will replace tank 26 gallon for 142
I did exactly what you did in the video and it worked before I put the vent hose on but the hose had a kink in it so it wouldn’t fill so I ordered a new one I hope the kink was the problem 🤷♂️
I felt bad for braking the retainer clip that connects to the evap canister, but it would have been a lot worse braking that nipple so I’m glad I broke the clip instead of the nipple cause I was really close to braking it the way I was pulling on it. Those clips are no joke to take off with limited space.
What makes it worse is when you have an impatient father in law helping you and not only breaks the small outlet but also the large one as well so now I have two repairs to make before I can put my fuel pump back together thanks in laws you're the best
How are you, boss, I found a rollpin that is exactly the same size as the hole in the line, so I don't need to make the hole wider with the drill bit. Do you think I need to get a bigger rollpin and make the hole in the line wider?
No there are many that are rated for direct contact to gasoline or its vapor. You just have to select the right one for your application. That putty held up for over 100,000 km before i blew the engine up drag racing on nitrous.
I put a T in the existing vacuum line and plugged the hole as you said and it did not work. It actually made it worse now it takes forever to fill it with gas and the check engine light is still one. Anyone wondering if going the easy route works it doesn’t you need to hook it up exactly as it was originally.
Thanks man,I have a 2014 1500 Express 4x4 5.7 hemi,just for reference in case someone runs into the same issue. Before I saw this video I couldn't find something that worked, so I broke off the ground lug from my extension cord and worked ok for about a few months. Then I tried the roll pin,Awesome thanks! Im sure OSHA would not approve of my extension cord anymore though 😁🤣✌️🤙
Just curious. My knowledge is slim on these newer cars with the evap systems. What would happen if you chose just to not reconnect that line that goes up to the filler hose?
@@edwardgrabinsky6369 in the process of doing your tip. Got the epoxy drying on it now. Thanks alot! I believe it's going to work just fine! I'm replacing the old line with rubber fuel line with hose clamps.
Super helpful i broke one of the nipples trying to get the old house off and the glue i used wouldn’t hold but that putty and the roll pin seems like the perfect fix thanks for this video
I can't find this anywhere, but my questions is about the coolant temp sensor on the block. I have no over drive and there was a manual temp Guage installed by previous owner. I don't know what wire or plug in I need to go back to oem and when I look for temp sensors I find 1 prong, 2 prong and 3 prong. If you could help me out I would greatly appreciate it! I'm just trying to get my overdrive back
If its the temp sensor thats missing it should be this part. It goes towards the back of the engine. The sensor with the post should be for ones with the 727 non noverdrive trans. The 3 wire ones are probably the ksb thermo switch or iat. The OD low temp parameter should be off the temp sending unit though as far as i know. In theory you could put a resistor in to test it before buying a sensor. And i guess make sure the connector is still intact and not hacked off if someone has been bypassing. www.genosgarage.com/product/sensor-3920363/engine-sensors-1
Great minds think alike, I broke this nipple off when I was replacing my fuel pump. I literally did the exact same repair (aside from using a different pin to hold the nipple in place) before seeing your video. it's a great way to avoid replacing your tank for sure. Good work man, great walk through for anyone who needs to make the same repair.
You could probably do it without dropping the tank, but with how much of a pain that would be its honestly easier to drop the tank. Will be less time and work once its all said and done. And you will have a better repair. Seems like more work to drop the tank but honestly its less if you just be careful not to break more stuff. And of you loose or break a clip for the push release things you can just put a zip tie where the plastic band is. But leave the tail on the zip tie so the next guy knows whats going on.
Wanted to see you drive the seal, nobody seems to show what a pan in the ass it is? I did mine without a driver on a 99 5.9 started it by hand with a small hammer then used the old seals front side down against the new seal with a flat piece of plate over it to get to the correct depth and yes I did use the depth gauge ring from the front of the cover, also put a light film of sil glide lube on the outside of the plastic seal guide becuse I couldn’t get the seal over the crank, it was real cold when I did it about 35 degrees?
Ya theres a trick to it. I didn't film it because i needed both hands and don't have a tripod. But i might buy one soon. Ive done them without drivers on other vehicles in some canadian winters so i feel ya.
Just for clarification the sensor in the trans line that goes to the cooler is the sensor that shuts off overdrive at 280°. The sensor that engages after warmup to allow overdrive is in the coolant jacket on the cylander head. So it will still have that function just not the overtemp protection. Because the 280 is ridiculously hot so i just untread that sensor so that shutoff is effectively disabled and put the temp sensor in there. Because you dont need that shutoff if you have a gauge and 280 is pretty ridiculously hot anyway.
My hose that broke was the larger one. It broke around the neck and hose was just hanging. I found a 7/16 metal tube. I had to carefully drill out the inside of the broken pieces so my tube would slide in the middle then we slid it in and carefully and put epoxie puddy around it and let it dry. Works good
I also feel i should elaborate on why bypassing the roll over valve with a piece of hose vented to atmosphere is a safety issue. If you bypass your roll over valve and roll your vehicle all the fuel will spill out, which obviously poses a huge safety risk. That will put both yourself and first responders at risk. So make sure to put a flapper valve in that way it can vent but of the vehicle is overturned it wont spill your gas tank out.
