Well i sorta cheated on my '06, my fuel pump was becoming intermittent which i found were the pins on the fuel pump connector were intermittently losing contact, i cut a square hole in the floor board under the back seat over the fuel pump,made it big enough if i ever need to remove the pump, i turned the cutout piece into a hatch, i disconnected the connector on the fuel pump and pushed some "conductive graphite grease" into the pins,pluged it back in,installed my hatch with the carpret cutout over it, its never had a problem again since 2012.

On the two connectors you called alligator clips, I saw a Chrisfix video a while back where he cleaned sugar out of a gas tank and you don't need to slide the clip out of the connector, you just push in on the spine that connects the two parts that slide into the connector and you can pull it off.

Then just go under the back seat and cut a hole in the floor. The only down side is less room to get that damn lock ring off and on. And need to be able to fabricate a panel to go back on. However, saved tons of time, even more if it goes out again.

Is there a way to make that float give a more accurate reading? My pump is the original and the gas gauge has never been correct. 50% full is closer to 75% full.

Hi. How did you get to a conclusion that you needed to change the fuel pump? My 2011 xterra is shutting down while driving. Sometimes choking for a second and then comes back. Sometimes the car dies completely and I have to hit the ignition again to restart on the side of the road.

@hardlymovingpro

Could be multiple symptoms. Going up an incline or hill under load and the pump can't build or maintain enough pressure to deliver the needed fuel. At a stop light, suddenly acceleration and the engine coughs. Slow, gradually acceleration, there's no problem. You can always get a T connector fitting that can hook up with your fuel line and a fuel pump gauge. Fuel pressure should at least be over 45 psi.

My kids 09 is having that issue, obviously I'll change the filter too...

Nice vid n pick n pulley tools. Where did you buy the fuel pump assembly? Got a link?

@hardlymovingpro

4 жыл бұрын

To save money, I think you could just replace the pump inside the assembly. The thing is, there's a lot of assemblies out there for sale that are pretty cheap unless you go for a OEM Denso unit.

Question: prior to removing any fuel lines or etc, did the vehicle need to be de-pressurized prior to the fuel pump's removal? Or if that only for when you need to remove the fuel rails? Kind of a DIY home mechanic and just trying to gain more knowledge since I'm looking to be doing one on my girls 05' Xterra.

Great stuff. Would you or anyone here happen to know if the inside of the tank has some kind of tighten screw around the white ring where the gas fill hose meets the tank? My tank is leaking from that white ring area around the tank where the fuse hose meets the tank. Some say it does and others say it does not. If anyone can confirm this, it would be appreciated.

Assuming he needs to drop the tank, I'd be generous with the labor time of 4 hours @ $50 per hour for a total of $200 labor time. If he knows what he's doing, shouldn't take him more than 2.5 hours. If he has the model where access is under the rear seat, I'd give him 1.5 hours. Good luck!
