Blessed are those engineers who made this so easily accessible. Dropping a fuel tank is NOT fun.

Great video I just completed this on my 2007 4.6L GT. 85K miles, I can add some tips;

The cleaning out the bottom of the tank took the longest time. I had 11 miles to empty and still removed just shy of 2 gallons. The last little bit was adsorbed with an old T-shirt no wring out was required. I had very little grit at the bottom but there was a large spring, 3 small rubber caps, and 2 larger rubber caps on the bottom of the tank. Micro fiber cloth grabs the grit better than a paper towel or even a cotton shirt. The tank has a reservoir built around the pump use compressed air and blow out around the tight sides. Use a flashlight keep wiping and blowing until all particles have been wiped out. I poured a few ounces of Lucas gas treatment in the bottom of the Reservoir to give plenty of lube for the first start up.

The locking ring was fairly easy to remove just tap it out don't hit it so hard and bend it. "Center the pump" Next using pliers bend the leading edge of the locking ring's tabs ever so slightly downward so they start to slip under the locking lugs better. Locking the ring back on the new pump was not so easy I used a new rubber O-ring so I needed some downward pressure, a tuna can fit over the plug and fuel nipple so even pressure was able to be applied with my foot. Tap it on make sure all tabs are locking in their lugs don't force or hit so hard or the ring will get mutilated getting it all the way into the locked position. Once mine was well started I used an air-hammer to fully lock it in. If you do not have an air-hammer apply a thin coat of oil to the Locking ring's mating surfaces. Many taps are needed to get it properly locked. Just look at the passenger side to review a fully locked ring. If not locked all the way an air leak is probable.

I hope these tips helped let me know if you have anything to add. or what you found inside your tank like maybe Jimmy Hoffa...

They can install the fuel pump in a good location, yet no dipstick to check transmition fluid level

That locking ring was the tricky part of this job. I had to re-use the old O-ring as the new one was too hard to compress. Then, I filed the leading edge of each of the engagement points so it would catch properly. POS...thanks FORD.

Thanks so much. Shop wanted to charge me $500. This made it easy!

My 2006 Mustang started missing a beat, and the 'ole code reader said I had a P0191 Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor message.  This "how to" was one of the many I took in before calling the local parts palace.  They ordered me up an Airtex E2469M and I installed it the next day.  The Rustang runs great and the fuel quantity is still accurate.  Great product and a fine video.  Thanks for your help!

Guys if it’s your first time installing it make sure that the lock ring (green or white ring) is flush with the top of the lid of the pump. Makes it so much more easier

Great video I'm pretty sure my fuel pump is going out. My car jerks when I drive up a hill or at night when I have my headlights on. I did put new fuel filter, spark plugs, ignition coils, I went and upgraded my alternator to a higher output one new serpentine belt. Car shops around here they act like you don't know what you are talking about when you tell them what the car is doing and they want you to leave the car with them so they can work on it when they feel like it. Thankfully I can find great help watching videos and I can attempt to fix it myself. I would be looking to install a new pump soon. Thanks i subscribed

Just so everyone knows. There are two access panels in the back seat. One is for the fuel pump. One is for the fuel level sending unit. DO NOT take the locking ring off unless you have the seals. Know which one is which. It's easy to tell. The fuel pump has a fuel line going to it. The fuel level sending unit does not. And to clarify. The fuel pump is the one on the drivers side. He said left in the video which isn't very specific.

To make your videos better. Because left or right could be different depending on what way your looking at it. From front or rear. You NEED to specify passenger side, or drivers side. (US Models) and the opposite for the UK models etc.

Thank you I had no idea about the tabs on the underside that was a big help.

For those who struggle with sealing the pump and locking ring, try using a gooseneck pry bar to hold the lid down while a friend secures the locking ring.

I know this is an old video but I have a question my 2006 mustang is acting funny when I punch the accelerator or sometimes when I rev to switch gears going down the road it cuts out does this sound like the fuel pump ?

[XIDaytonaIX]

Extremely helpful, just subscribe. Thanks

[zeddddd]

Great and helpful video! I was going into this thinking id need to drop the tank. Another question though, is the fuel level sensor part of the fuel pump or is that system a separate assembly?

[juangalindo]

Is the fuel tank pressure sensor accessible through one of these access panels and is this the same process one would take to replace the fuel pressure sensor? Also great video straight to the point and easy to follow step by step thank you

[FCAutos]

Good video! It would be a good idea to place your website's address on the description. It will link directly to the products you're working with. Just a thought. -- *FC*

[watchingyoutoo]

2005 has a lifter pump or secondary pump trying g to find out how to get to and fix that one any information would be awesome

[KendallT]

Where did you connect that pressure gauge? I read that 05-09 Mustangs don’t have a shraeder valve and I didn’t see one on mine either

[danielpuente]

hey man not sure if your gonna see this but i have a question my crossover line on my mustang messed up do you know anywhere i can find one cause i'm struggling really bad right now

[ChrisHodge]

Thanks for the great video. I do have a question about that crossover hose. Mine is torn. Any idea where to get a new one?
