Holding on for Corolla updates!

You are lucky you live inthe South! If you lived in the rust belt you would have been drilling and tapping every hole and replacing all hardware including the straps!

I learned how fuel pumps fail and how to repair them, thank you

Great video Dave! You made it seem so easy. One recommendation I'd give, if you don't mind, is to add a year of the car in the title or description, for when other folks with the same issue will be looking for instructional videos on YT, they find yours!

Great vid! Another bonus is that I just learned how to reset the trip computer on my Sequoia that I’ve had for 11 years.

If your pump is just weak and not dead, you can use it to pump the tank empty. A piece of 5/16 brake line will push right into the quick-connect that attaches to the back of the fuel filter. You can route that to a jug & jumper the fuel pump relay so it pumps itself out. A little tape will keep the brake line from falling out while holding the jumper wire. I have a 5 prong relay and jumpered from battery positive to where the middle of the 3 copper prongs of the relay plugs in (2nd spot from firewall).

Your braver than I am. I would not trust a random aftermarket fuel pump. I would have at least gotten a Denso fuel pump instead of Toyota. If it bolt to the outside I will take my chances with aftermarket parts especialy if I need it today. If it goes inside of the engine, transmission, differential or fuel tank I like to at the very least go with a quality name brand part or Toyota part. It is always a hassel to do a job twice or to pay someone else to do it twice!

dave i gotta say im so excited to see another corolla video😂 im planning on tearing apart the engine in my 01 rolla soon as well🙏

Great Video. All the time Toyota guys saying how bad is to work on BMW…. Wow

Looks like they gave you allot more hose for your connections that I had for mine in my Focus. The tank had to be screwed at least half way in by the holding straps before I could even put the evap and filler neck hose back on. Nice job though.

Interesting. how pump affected your consumption. so was car running rich before, or is it running lean(pressure too low) and hot now 🤔. My 1.1ton celica 1zz-fe now gets terrible gas mileage like 23mpg, i wonder if new pump would fix it back to 30mpg

Makes one wonder if you just needed a fuel filter change.

I had the same problem with my Toyota Avensis 1ZZ-FE (Europe model car), It was due to a bad seal in the engine oil vapors. Fresh air was enter to the engine, the ECU not be able to manage the lean state injecting more gas to the engine.

A one day sender/pump rebuild.. Nice. Dave, you're become a professional amateur mechanic. The only other thing I can say is please stop stealing Feisty Kate's coffee cup. Looking forward to Corolla updates.

Are you done with oil consumption series?

Is the Corolla using the factory pump?

Timing for an empty tank is the worst part of any drop tank work, especially in the really long truck tanks that unbalance so easily while lowering.

Great video DIY Dave! My fuel gauge light and dial is on Empty even when I fill the tank to full. Truck runs fine and not losing any pressure or power. Can a bad sender cause these symptoms?

I knew it was going to be wasted money the second you showed rhis transfer pump... I was dissapointed with it too - luckily I managed to sell it to someone who apparently knows how oto operate it, as thia person never complained after byuing it from me... or perhaps does not want to admit it was wasted money too in his case LOL

The engine cleaners may have damaged your valve seals. Please use AT205 Reseal to see if it expands your valve stem Seals and stops oil consumption on your Corolla in your next experiment. You may just have the bad luck of gouges on the cylinder walls from low oil or infrequent oil changes. In that case it's unfixable without totaling your car.

Can you please use amsoil engine flush for oil consumption series and amsoil engine oil. I heard amsoil the best engine oil in usa

Nice video but when I went to the links I noticed that two of the links are the same. The one for the sending unit sends you to the gasket.

Cataclean - works. Cleared code on my Corolla

Given the mileage on the Sequoia, why not just replace the whole fuel pump assembly complete with sending unit and strainer instead of just a few pieces of the assembly? At least that way everything would be new.

Where did you get the fuel pump ? Do you have a link to it ?

The first hose you took off. I cannot get that thing off it’s a pain

Love the work Great videos

You should be able to do this job from the top no need to lower tank. There should be an access cover under the seats I would imagine.

Had the same problem with my tacoma Toyota pickup . Went to the dealer he charged me $110 dollars no sending unit just the pump motor and a new sock filter.

Also, after watching this video I must say I would probabably spend this extra money and got the original Toyota part - and not some Denso pump - I don't want to be a prophet here, but you might get through this effort of dropping the fuel tank in the very short future again LOL

Hi which fuel pump you went with?

I believe some lucas ucl in each tank will help fuel filter lubrication and better mpg

👍

Good job Dave... now tell me...I'm a chain smoker and find it very satisfying to smoke a Marlboro red with the filter broke off while working on my car...can I remove the fuel pump unit while I got one of these babies in my mouth 😂...

Hey Sir! We sincerely look for a video collaboration with you! Are you interested in trying our seat covers?

Been thinkin ..where's Dave? My corolla ,196k,still going but losing oil faster now. leaking , cant see from where. yada yada. there's many aspects of your car care vids i appreciate, eg, not fancy tools, lifts, garage, . Things i can relate to . Like myself , just an ordinary guy. However, I've always found something in your vids askew. Today, i realized it. It's something my father did when he fixed his own cars as i held the flashlight. I follow in the way of my father when i'm fixing my cars today. There can be NO car repair of any kind let alone the quite difficult job of fuel pump without swearing ! Religion , all faiths, creeds , and beliefs are set aside in the arena of car repair. For rusty nuts and stuck bolts and ill fitting parts are all god forsaken. These type things will only be swayed by using brute force and the language of the damned, (for they are such) and only give way when the curse word is shot at them. Often times , heaped upon them. Therefore, until i hear you utter a curse word whilst in the arena of car repair , your vids will remain suspect.
