Keep away from the Coke Eric! That stuff will kill ya. Lol. Hey, let us know in your next video, how was the move! Now on a more serious note. You're a mechanic and a damn good one and that car was out of warranty. Show me a law anywhere on the books, any friging book, that says a mechanic is required by law to fix a used automobile by just replacing parts only! Sure one might think it's a lot more profitable to repair it by replacing the bad parts rather than modify something. But if you do replace the fuel pump module then the time is lost for the hose clamp experiment. But if you only bill for the hose clamp time, the time you would have spent putting in that fuel pump, now can be billed working on another car. You actually made some money for the fix and now are ahead of the game time wise. And time is money! But I'll tell you what. I watched that video closely and that is the exact same thing I would have done to fix it. You held pressure on an o-ring which is all those tabs do. Your device locks, because you would need a special mechanics tool to unlock it. a screwdriver. I would authorize that repair on my car a thousand times in a row. Heck I would have authorized it on my mother's car, rest her soul. There is nothing wrong with it. So as a shop owner working on used cars without warranties, why wouldn't you take the opportunity to save time on that car and save your customer some dough, if he is ok with and signs for the repair? If you let him know just how much dough that the repair has saved him, then I'll guarantee that you'll be getting more word of mouth advertising and a definite repeat customer also. I've always considered an appropriate easy fix or a freebie, as buying more word of mouth advertising! That is because I have the mechanical ability and a license to do so. Some mechanics have the license but don't have that ability, and will always be parts changers. Shute, you never seen Tony Stewart complain about his mechanics repairs, except that they weren't fast enough! Lol. You are a licensed car doctor! You even wondered out loud in one of your ECM replacement videos, if that made you a brain surgeon? If you and a brain surgeon are standing at the operating table and suddenly he knicks an artery and the blood starts squirting, you already know just what he's going to do. He'll ask the nurse for a diaper, two pairs of vice grips to block off the flow and then splice the bad section of artery and slowly release the vise grips, checking for leaks! See your a mechanic, a family practitioner and a brain surgeon all in one. You just need a new nurse (since Hanna left) to hand you the tools, that's all! Just make sure to have your patient sign that bottom line just like the brain surgeon does, that says they accept the repairs and your not liable for any damage to property or person that may occur if any. Besides, if you change the fuel pump and six months later the harness shorts out and burns up the car, that guy is going to try to sue you for a faulty repair anyway. So why not use your license for more than parts changing. You know all those after market part companies who make the extra add on accessories that you modify and install, aren't liable and neither are you unless your purely negligent in the repair. And that's not you! Besides you probably have proof on video! Great video and have a great day Eric! You rock Bud. Jpol.

In my Holden Commodore I've had trouble with even the Fuel Miser brand of fuel pump sender unit which was worth over 300 AUD brand new but somehow they knocked it down to 100 AUD.
I think that the fuel gauge wiper was faulty so I ordered a no name 75 AUD fuel sender unit on eBay & it lost pressure to the point of 50 PSI so I fitted the Fuel Miser fuel pressure regulator as the new one failed, the problem is not long after fitting it that was the same so I ordered the PR217 type of fuel pressure regulator from China which has worked good ever since setting its pressure to 60 PSI.
The problems I was having is bad fuel economy as the fuel injectors weren't atomizing the fuel properly & I was getting P0171 & P0174 lean codes as well as the long term fuel trims being 25% on both engine banks.
Now it's at 2. 3% on the left bank & 3. 1% on the right hand engine bank which is much better.
People might blame me using E10 fuel in it when Holden says that Fuel can be used in my car!

Nice review. This is exactly why plastic designs need to have better quality built into them and they really should have a rebuild kit or an assortment of parts to replace those critical areas that will most likely fail. You wouldn't see this on an old GM gen 1 small block fuel pump but if it did fail, it would only cost 20 for the part while these pumps are well into the 100 and up range. Plastic's in ethanol fuel tanks/systems simply can't deal with the toxic fuel plus the age factors that also take tolls on plastics. There is a place for plastic and there are places it shouldn't be.
The hose clamp is a great temporary idea, I like it. I say temporary because it's likely that the nut/sleeve will eventually crack again.

Thank you Eric O. I had a K car and when it warmed up would be perfect but on short hops e. g. 5 minutes it would only crank no start. Determined that the fuel would / could not shut off just keep dumping fuel and would flood out the engine. Corrected by disconnecting the electrical connection at the TB and crank till started of course now no fuel. Reconnect and restart and off you go till next time. B4 OBD2 but you could read the 22 and 55 codes. Don't miss those days in the middle of winter. Note, it was only a winter beater.

I have a 2004 Volvo XC70 that had a crack on the top of the fuel pump in the plastic part that the gas goes through just before it exits the pump I filled the whole cavity with epoxy worked like a champ I think your fix is just fine. Im sure the car salesman is just going to ship it.

It's only factory specs it you put the retaining nut on in the exact same position you took if off, otherwise it won't be torqued right and the marks will be meaningless. I think it's on tight enough though!

On that fuel pump ring when I saw it my first thought was, if he don't have that tool I would just use a couple of nails hammered through a piece of wood. Hahahahahaha Then he busted out the punch.

That was the main fault to those fuel pumps, the had 3 locking pins on just one side of the pump. And when it builds pressure it would pop that one edge up like this one. I think that was a recall

So here I am, it's Midnight and I'm watching SMA. I'm all tensed like watching a mystery-thriller. Will he Fix It?
Is this Mentally Healthy? Am I OK?
