Fuel Tank Replacement - 1993 Humvee

Video shows step by step how to remove and replace the fuel tank on a 1993 military humvee. This vehicle was sunk resulting in water in the fuel tank and throughout the entire fuel system. The filler neck was also completely coated in mud and required a deep cleaning.
I had been running the truck on an auxiliary fuel tank since I replaced the engine a few weeks ago. The lines running from the lift pump to the injectors have already been replaced or cleaned. New fuel filter & water separator were also added beforehand. Everything went smooth until the end when a check valve prevented fuel from getting to the lift pump. The truck is still running great and holding prime without the redundant check valve.
Tank part number with hardware kit - 5717437

Nice job! You have put some hours into this beast. Have to drop my tank so wanted to see what you did. You did have a little smoke there at the end of video. Are rings not set yet or IP turned up? Look forward to more vids.

Thank you! That smoke at the end is unburnt fuel from a set of bad injectors I got from Pensacola Diesel. Long story short they messed up my order twice and never made it right. I plan on making a video on pop testing them all again and getting the smoke sorted out soon. Dropping the tank isn’t bad at all, like I said in the video the most awkward part is gettin the vent line off and disconnecting the fuel gauge wires. Good luck with yours. 👍

Are you going to eventually put this up for sale?

[@MotorLeague]

Eventually. And then build up a heavy variant.

What did you do with all the bad diesel?

Threw it in the turbo heater to keep the garage warm for the rest of the winter.
