Our Supercharged Monte Carlo Has Fuel Pressure Problems... We Upgrade the Pump AND Wires!

What happens here

The process begins with preparing the fuel tank for removal. The host points out that the tank removal procedure was detailed in a previous video. To access the fuel pump, various lines and connections on top of the fuel tank must be disconnected. It's quickly realized that the fuel tank contains more fuel than anticipated. To avoid spills and save the valuable fuel, a manual transfer pump is used to drain the excess fuel into a gas can. This step requires careful handling due to the flammability of gasoline.

Goal: Safely drain excess fuel from the tank.

Tools and materials

  • Impact Driver — Assisting with loosening stubborn bolts and fasteners
  • Manual Transfer Pump — Safely siphoning fuel from the tank
  • Pliers — Handling hose clamps or stubborn connections

or something, that's what it is. I think they were high enough. Okay, let's get some jack stands. We already showed you how to take the tank out of this car in a previous video, which you can find on the Monte Carlo playlist. Every single car has its own playlist in order. So, if you'd like a specific one, you can find everything you want to watch right on there. So, now we have to disconnect all the crud at the top of the tank, which uh is not extremely difficult. No, it's just screws and day end lines and stuff. We got a big surprise for you guys. Okay. You know what the first thing we're going to do with this car is once we get it dyno tuned and it's ready to go. It's our favorite thing. This the thing that we've been dying so much to do in the last year. You know what that is? Go to Yellow Belly. Yep. We're going back to Yellow Belly. No, we're not. April fools. We're not going back there. Don't ask about it. Did we Did we get you? Are you mad? Do you want to unsubscribe? Is that the only reason you're here? Please unsubscribe then. If that's the only reason you're here, you don't need to be here. I mean, we're going to go race other places, but not there. So, up to you. Digest that how you will. Do you know what else April April 1st is? What is it? It's Logan's birthday. And that's also when we're planning on making this video go live. So, if you're watching, you can go on her Instagram and tell her happy birthday in the comments. It's @ Logan42 with two N's and an underscore at the end. Put it down here. But what are we going to do with this car for real? We're planning on taking it to children's vineyards. It's fine. You act like this car is just like going to just like not make it. I'm gunshy. I think that it's fine. Also, if you would like to help celebrate Logan's birthday, if you order something from staplesworks.com and leave a tip, that goes straight to her and her race car fund. Yes. Yep. Everything. We got this cool. Who doesn't want to make their own cool noises? Nope. Everybody wants cool noises, especially with boom tubes like those and those. Apparently, there's more gas in here than we thought cuz it soaked up this rag. So, we're just going to do the smart thing and yank it out real quick as I stand right in its path of destruction.
