Watch instructional, how-to videos, in which ASE Master Technician, offers on-demand educational assistance on fuel pump installations, diagnostic procedures, technical tips and more.
This video explains how voltage at the fuel pump has a direct effect on fuel pressure and fuel flow. A common misconception is that the fuel pump is like an "On/Off" switch. If you can hear it running, there must be power and all is fine. However, that is certainly not the case. See how even a two volt drop can have a drastically negative effect on your vehicle's fuel system pressure and flow, causing drivability issues.
This video shows you how to disconnect and reconnect different types of fuel line fittings: Push, push and lock, pinch, spring-style retainer, hose and clamp, horseshoe clip and what to do if the fuel line breaks in the fitting.
