Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Fuel pump
Operation: Vintage car tank disassembly

In this vintage Fiat 500 the tank, which is located in the front compartment, is fixed with two metal brackets and relative bolts. First of all, however, unscrew the bolt that holds the mass, then unlock the fuel pipe as shown in the video. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to remove the gasket if it is too worn. At this point, release the brackets and remove the tank. To inspect it internally, use an endoscopic camera: unscrew the cap and insert it into the tank. To analyze the tank on the other side as well, remove the float by unscrewing its bolts.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
