While I realize you probably want to key your videos short and to the point, and have done these things dozens or hundreds of times, but some of us have never done this, so you should include every step, like splicing in the T to the fuel line (and indicating how to tell which one, and how to remove that panel above the fuel tank. Once you have done it a few times, it might be easy to just pop it off, but you know where to (and where not to) apply pressure to do so. At least your video showed me which panel to remove, unlike the repair manual I have.
I guess I am not part of your target audience; I am just a novice when it comes to DIY car repair. While I have been changing radiators and water pumps and alternators for 30 years, this is my first go at a fuel issue. Your video is just enough information for me to almost understand what you are doing, like if I watched my neighbor doing it.

This same problem i think has happened to my subaru outback 2003 today. I was at a red light and all the sudden my car started shaking hard, i pulled over and checked rpm at idle. rpm wouldnt go up. i was stuck and hearing that noise like in your video. Luckily i had my uncle who gave me a push all the way home (15 minutes) with his truck. otherwise i would have been stuck. our orginal mechanic gave out and had no idea, the problem then was the car stalled after a dead stop. is that stalling from a dead stop also a symptom, rather a early one? then today we had another mechanic change idle control valvle, and pcv valvle. old codes were gone. changed spark plugs as well. going to have one more person check it out, if its not fuel pump then i have to junk it. it only has 90, 000 miles on it. . your video gave some hope.

Great video thanks for sharing! I almost removed my pump in my 1995 Subaru Legacy Wagon, but found that I have another problem - I've checked my pump and am getting no power to it. (Your video showed me which wires to check for power, so thanks for that) Now have to try to figure out what's causing that. I do have symptoms of other electrical issues -- like the fact that the radio antenna goes up & down on it's own accord when the ignition is on, even though the radio is turned off. Someone suggested checking the ground wires in the engine compartment, but besides the battery ground wire, where are the others? . Back to work.

Hi, I have a problem with my 97 impreza, one day was driving and the car start losing power, this happened 2 times in 2days and then the check engine light appear, so I check with a code scanner and the code was p0463, I bought a new fuel pump, thinking that was the problem, but now with your video I'm not sure, cause my car runs good and don't have problems anymore, no more check engine light or loss power but the only tiny problem is the gas gauge, give a bad lecture, sometimes is full and the next minute is in half tank and then is full again, do you know what could be the problem? Thanks

I really enjoy your video. I all ready knew a lot but you made it very easy to do to the last step. Just wish you were here to tell me why my 2001 Subaru outback after I wash the engine started and when turn it off had to let set over night. It started this morning and let run 20 minutes. turn it off and will not start up again. Is there water in something, maybe fuel fuel filter, week gas pump, to damp or faulty spark plugs. Please give your out put. - ironhorsevinnieyahoo. com. Wish you my neighbor, Vince

Great video! I successfully changed the pump in the parking lot where my car died. I had never even opened a gas tank before. It took about an hour. Side note: My pump was the original pump and I took the wire leads off the old motor by removing the nuts from the wire posts, then I just used the original wires and put them on the new motor's posts. This saved me from cutting and splicing the wires and gave me a better connection and was faster.

Thanks, total time for me, about 2 and a half hours including a trip to the parts store. The hoses were tough to get off in 30 degree weather. I did the pump and fuel filter, both. Thanks, the wife has her car up and running. Buy the way, the car had a hesitation on acceleration from stops, for the last few months. I am hoping this goes away with the new pump. 1998 outback wagon, 145, 000 miles.

I found your postings a short while ago. Here's a simple thank you from an old guy for sharing your experiences, knowledge, and skill about daily repairs on autos of all types. I also appreciate your encouragement that your viewers can do this and that it can be an honorable business. Love the family involvement and banter. Wish you the best of wishes.
