Fuel Pump Replacement 01 Ford Escape 3L

In this video I&be showing you how I replaced a fuel pump on an 01 Ford Escape 3.0L. The method I use in this video is not “by the book". Its a method I learned from some fellow technicians years back. Its a great improvisation for when you don&have the right tool for the job. However, special care needs to be taken when removing and installing the retaining nut. Make sure the nut was not damaged in the process of replacing the fuel pump. Also, be sure the nut is completely seated after installation. Make sure it does not leak. Fill up completely with fuel after repair and check for leaks around the fuel pump retaining nut. After you have check for leaks drive the vehicle making aggressive turns. Check for leaks again. Check for leaks through the access under rear seat. Repair as needed. Note: Use the method shown for installing the fuel pump retaining nut at your own risk. The method shown is not the proper way to remove and install the retainer. You do run the risk of not sealing the fuel tank properly by doing it this way. This could result in a check engine light, fuel leaks and or fire. That being said this task can be done this way. It just takes someone with the mechanical aptitude to do it well without problems. Fuel pump diagnosis video is no longer available.
