2003 Chevy Suburban Fuel Filter Replacement (Flex Fuel) 

Hes a busy busy bee

I definitely bent the fuel line and since it was rusted pretty bad guess what? Fuel leak

Yes they do and those engineers should be banned from the automotive industry, at my shop when we encounter this wonder of a design we splice an adequate generic external filter into the factory feed line, they can be picked up at any parts store, just make sure the filter and supporting hardware are rated for your specific fuel system and do not use rubber line with barbed fittings for anything other than emergencies

My same thought.🤦

That is a dam good idea. I was wondering why no one ever mentiond the pump.

I believe the security system is engaged and won't let it start until its reset

You must live in a warm weather state lol

@@mikespence8895 Upstate, Central New York. Not a "warm weather" place at all. Summers might see low 90's, but really awful humidity, Winters are horrible, -20℉ with 85% humidity. Lake effect & Nor Easter blizzards. Tape is to protect the marker you just took the time to write down.

I'm in northern Wisconsin

Z.... in the vin number

@She put the lime in her coconut The GM assembly line does not install the rusty dirt packets in the plastic fuel tanks when new. Your dirty fuel is coming from the station where you buy it. They installed filters inside gas pumps in the 90’s and later moved it into the external hose with a clay the swells with water contact. The pump is not a garbage disposal and has a different armature for flex fuel. While inside a plastic bucket to maintain a fuel supply without air during turns with low fuel reduces misfire codes. This pump assembly has two filter on it with one on bottom & one inside on pump. The filter media is better as you get closer to the injectors, so if running @ 7,000RPM with restricted per-filters, amps go up, terminals get hot and volume drops, pressure suffers and injectors stay open longer. Install a new ACDelco / Delphi pump in a dirty tank and it will fail quickly. Inspect in & out for contamination before new pump. If dirty, remove tank, wash vigorously with really hot water, drain & dry. This is in the factory service procedures. Buy your fuel where they sell a lot and keep tanks clean. It’s your money so ask how got 5 years from first pump, then install the same pump as the plant did and it only made it 7 months? Just answered. Not just a GM only tech but worked at dealers for decades and independents on imports as well. EFI since 1976. ASE Master Tech since 1978 Retired

Andy Limmer that will not help replacing random parts that is like changing my tire when the trasmssion is blown

@@punker4Real I don't understand your reply. My recommendation is just to lock and unlock the car with the key fob. No parts are involved.

I’d love to know the same thing lol

It could be….. but that’s only if when you open the ignition you don’t hear the fuel pump kick in. He didn’t show that, so who knows

Yeah because it less filtering and more flow.

Good luck compadre Viah Con Dios 🕺

I think he does it to get more views on other videos he post. Worthless video 👎

I have a 03 tahoe and every time i go to give it gas it doesn’t pick up everything has been serviced and im being told its my fuel filter

Same with my 03 Tahoe did you. Find out what it was ?

My money is on fuel pump.

Colin still doesn't explain his engine code though. Unless his MAF sensor really was bad and his fuel pump happened to go out at the same time.

my 4.3 spun bearing

Is that for an idle that dies out?

FTC? Need the flex fuel tool

All FFV's will need the sleeve tool. 1love 4 1road

Stop driving around with low fuel all the time!

@@SilvioManfredDante85 that's like sayin shop being broke

@@SilvioManfredDante85 True dat. Low fuel causes fuel pump to overheat and fail prematurely.
