I think I have burn up my fuel pump. Is it in the tank? How difficult is it to change. 92 vette

 

Its in the tank and its not that hard. Here is a link that explains how to remove the stock one (takes a minute to download)(Granted, this is for a Racetronix performance pump but the instructions are the same for REMOVAL of a regular pump - YOU ONLY NEED TO GO THROUGH STEP 12 to remove the stock one): http://www.blowerworks.net/download/GSS340IG.pdf

 

Why do you think that? Did the pressure gauge say '0'?

 

Thank you! Many friends were saying you will have to drop the tank, etc.
I am a novice so this was very helpful. Again thank you
Tom

 

I started it up after winter storage. Got busy working on other things while it was running. It was low on gas and ran out and even ran battery down. Now it will turn over but not start. Many have suggested that it is probably the fuel pump.
Thanks

"Many have suggested that it is probably the fuel pump."
"Many friends were saying you will have to drop the tank, etc."

Even if every one of those friends is a mechanic, they didn't give the right advice. Fuel pumps DO fail. And when money's tight, and the economy is bad, gas tanks tend to stay near 'E', which will allow a pump to get hot and fail.

Still, I would NEVER buy a part blindly (without doing a diagnostic test). Such as in your case, checking fuel pressure. If you can lock on a bicycle pump to the stem, and put air in a tire, you can check fuel pressure.

But if you're rich, can I have some cash PM me?
