Mercury Marquis Gas Gauge Video

[Charles Keppler]

Eric my man … I swear I am going to send you a small Christmas present this year. Santa is putting a cheapo Harbor Freight Hand Pump Siphon under your tree to drain that tank of gas. You are a true car guy to be smiling about a gasoline bath, thanks for the video. As always good work.

To be honest this video didn’t turn out the way I had planned. I was hoping to group in the process of removing a fuel pump with this video to show that process as well. This is part of the reason I went straight to the sending unit in the tank. I think I would have had an easier time of removing the fuel pump had I placed the jack stands under the frame instead of the rear differential. Also, I could have disconnected the connector in the trunk for the sending unit and turned on the key to verify the gauges operation.

You need to understand that I’m not just repairing vehicles but trying to make compelling video of the process with as much information as possible. It’s not as easy as you might think especially working without a script. Things don’t always go as planned and you need to pick up the pieces as best you can while shooting and in the editing bay.

I agree this wasn’t my best video but it wasn’t a Honda and the vehicle was fixed in the end. Sloppy, but not without SOME useful information in it.
