I totally agree with your final thoughts, seeing those old bolts and rusted parts finally being removed and replaced was so satisfying. I feel like driving around town would just FEEL smoother and cleaner. I love the content and would so value any granular details you can provide, be that in the form of a walkthrough or a reference guide for parts, kits, and instructions for replicating what you have done. Thanks for the post, I am looking forward to the next one!

This is just great to watch, a classic little sports-tank gets a long new life. My favorite part is you didn't edit out the wiring swap.

Great job on this video! Excellent! Love the humor.

*@**25:33* I was able to buy the OEM strap insulators for my tank straps- in case of other cars, might not have them. In those cases, IMO it's important to, keep out corrosion from in between those tiny crevices. In your case- a bicycle inner tube, cut to length, slide strap inside. Adhesive like RTV silicone the ends closed. I've even seen carefully wrapped quality electrical tape around straps. That metal-to-metal abrasion really eats steel. At least your spray is something. A "garage" will never take extra steps for you; they'll zip on your new, bare steel tank and done. I give mad respect for your attention to detail.

Your did a good job. I did the same thing in my 87 Jeep. The tank was leaking so I had no choice but I found a deal that included a new fuel pump with a tank. Wow, that wiring was crazy. Great job getting it figured out.

I installed this same pump in my CRX, and it works great, but I have a gas smell sometimes when I'm driving. Especially when I go around a right hand turn a little fast. Can't see any leaks anywhere around the fuel lines, but I haven't dropped the fuel tank to check around the fuel outlet area. Do you think it's most likely the gasket around under the fuel out let flange (where the 6 nuts go)? Or could it be caused by something else. I reused the gasket, and probably should have bought a new one.

@themechanic6117

2 жыл бұрын

Usually that upper gasket only leaks or shows the leak whenever you completely fill the tank . If you can smell fuel is must be leaking from somewhere. On a old car I would definitely not reuse the gasket that came off. So far on my car no leaks and no smell of gasoline

Hey Mechanic, Question for you: Did you install the new fuel pump because it had failed, or about to fail? My 91 CRX has a dead fuel pump. It apparently died like a light bulb went out, so when I turn the ignition key to the ON position, there is no sound or signal coming from the fuel pump, even though I have verified that proper battery voltage is supplied to it. What are your thoughts on a dead fuel pump like the one I have? Is it common? I'm wondering if other CRX owners have had the same [dead] fuel pump issues. Thanks.

@@themechanic6117 Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty sure it's the original fuel pump (I'm the third owner). It's a 34-year old car, so not really surprised that the pump failed. I haven't driven the car regularly for the past 10-12 years, so that may have been a big factor for the pump failure (i.e. bad, stale gas with ethanol sitting in the tank for years). It seems with cars, under-usage can be just as bad as over-usage. Live and learn.
