This video walks you through removing the fuel tank on a 2000 Chevy Blazer, GMC Jimmy and other GM vehicles. This is the first step in the fuel pump replacement procedure. I'll be posting a video on how to install the fuel pump, as well as how to install the gas tank, when the order comes in. Removing the fuel tank on a Chevy Blazer \ GMC Jimmy is not that bad of a job. I've also posted a close up shot of how to release the quick connectors on the fuel line. The instructions in this video will be the same of similar on several other vehicles. I would not recommend purchasing a cheap fuel pump, stick with AC Delco, Delphi or possibly Bosh. I purchased a Delphi fuel pump on Amazon for $169.99 (free shipping). You can replace your own fuel tank sending unit!

Note to other DIY mechanics, GM made two different gas tanks for these types of vehicles around this age. One plastic tank and one metal tank. There are separate pumps for each tank and one will not fit into the other. Made that mistake and ordered the plastic pump (not specified) instead of the pump for the metal tank (also not specified) and thought I would pass this info along. Note: my vehicle is a 98 Chevy Blazer LS
I just successfully completed my fuel pump today on a 2004 Blazer. Great videos on how to go about doing it. Appreciate the help and the money I saved by not having a mechanic do it. I know I saved at least $800 doing it myself. Bangerang!!!
Mark, just wanted to thank you for your vids. I was able to get the job done. Very thorough, and just watched them once. Thanks again!
I just followed this video series to drop my tank and replace the pump. Many thanks! It took ALL the frustration out of the job being able to see all the detail of the process. You are a saint!
Thank you very much for the detail in this post - this was the first time I understood how those "quick-disconnect" fittings are supposed to come off!
Car would not go more than 30 mph today. Pulled over, died. Hit with starter fluid, ran for a moment, so i know its not getting fuel. Pulled filter, put a straw on it and blew. No resistance, same as the new one. Likely the pump. Bought the service manual a while back, looks easy enough to drop the tank but I find so much value in watching a vid first. Thanks for posting. Gonna do some more chris fix diagnostics tomorrow to confirm the fault. Will repoert back when Im done.
Thank you for taking time to make this video - very helpful to me in replacing fuel pump on my '01 Blazer !
Buddy thank you so much I've been looking for a while at dozens of videos and yours is the most comprehensive easiest to follow video I'm pretty sure somebody who has no idea and no mechanical skills could probably at least get the tank down from these directions and that's saying something! SO THANKS!
Just a little thing I found helpful,instead of a floor jack I used ratchet straps to lower the tank. Not in the way like a floor jack. Great video. :-)
Glad I found ur channel and these videos I just started having fuel pump issues on my 2000 s10 and am about to change it myself. These videos will help a lot when I get the time to replace it. Thanks
Thanks for the videos Mark. I had to replace the fuel pump on my 2000 GMC Jimmy today. Your videos made the job much easier and I am back on the road.
Some people might have said you were silly for this. Tell them I said you are the BOMB!!! You just saved me hours!!! Good job!!! Lot of tips, and they worked. Especially working the nuts back and forth on the bolt. Good work, bro!
Thanks for this. I have done many fuel pumps before but not on a GMC Jimmy. Just dropped the tank on a friends in prep for when the fuel pump arrives. It was fairly easy. Got the full/vent tubes off but had to break the plastic nipples to get them off.
thanks Mark, I wasnt sure how to release the fuel lines, now I know, keep up the videos
This is the best video I have seen on fuel pump removal and installation. Great Job!!!
Excellent video Mark, really helped me with my new-to-me 01 Jimmy. Well edited and shot, precise, and clear!
thank you for the video. My son broke that vent when he dropped my tank last time...we could not get a replacement for it so he JB welded it back on and it seems to be holding just fine. Yea.....a lot of parts for this car you can't get anymore...can't get a replacement fuel tank either so best be careful not to puncture your tank....
miwin1000 autozone has tanks
They only have metal tanks. I too have to rig it up. Dont try pick a part for the tank, they drill holes in the tank to drain the gas
I have a 2001 2 door blazer. This video is like those fast fast food commercials showing good looking food. Shows how easy it could be till you attempt to do it and its totally different.
i got the two door model.....but i watched it all anyways because it was excellent camera work!!! great job!!
Very nice and detailed instructions! Helped me alot when I changed mine! Thumb up!!
Hello Mark,
Thanks for posting this video - it saved me a lot of time and money.
thank for the shot of the return tube and gas line 6:42 mark was a great help , I could not remember where how and why. but thanks again it's most appreciated !!!
Thank you for making this video mine just went out on my 97 blazer and need to go to a pick a part and get another one. One thing I miss about new england the one out there is so much easier to deal with except for the rust, back here in cali im lucky enough to get any parts before everyone lol hope the winter isnt effecting your family this year my family is telling me its getting pretty crazy. Thanks again I'd rather fix things on my own!!!

subscribed, I have 2002 Blazer here in Brazil.. working a lot on it. thanks!
Very useful, awsome communication skills. Thank u very much.i dnt really need to do this yet on my 01 jimmy. But im @ 96k miles now and probably will need this knowledge in near future. Thanks again for the step by step.
Excelent video!!! i will be working today in that fuel tank, i need a new pumb because te return line is break...DAmn!
best regards from Monterrey.
Best video I seen on removing fuel pump lines. Thank you
I would add one thing to this, though. I pulled the four bolts out of the back u-joint, tied the drive shaft up high, and it gave me a LOT of room. Still! Thanks for putting this up! That forward bolt was a (poopy word!)! But I used an impact and the back and forth with the vise grips like you did. Worked like a charm, and no rung bolts!!!
Hey posted a comment on your second video but if anyone out there is worried they can't change there pump then just watch all three videos I was worried I couldn't do it and thanks to the video it was honestly easy
Awesome video. Repair worked great. Thank you for taking the time to post.
By the way, great video, very straight forward, i'll definitely be referencing it when i drop my tank.
Thanks! This video me successfully the repair also made appreciate living the desert where rust is not a concern ;)
Thank you brother! Gave me some good insight..
Thanks for the tips, just did mine. it was much easier than i thought it would be. taking the spare out helped. thanks again...
Thank you for this video series. I had the fuel pump crap out on my 1999 GMC Jimmy and this video proved invaluable. Now, know on wood, let's just hope she keeps running. The worst part for me was getting the fill hose and vent hose off because I didn't want to damage the tank or hoses. It took almost 6 hours to get the tank out, it was frustrating. Cleaning and getting back in took about 3 hours.
***** $350 for the Delphi pump at O'Reilly's. Got the same pump, lock ring and fuel line clips for $180 shipped off Amazon. After all that, I couldn't get the fuel filter off to replace it. I gave it a good soak of Liquid Wrench, we'll see if she budges later this week.
Good video on this. Thank you . I replaced the vent valve hose with a longer hose. (at the front of tank) . The plastic stem often breaks .
Mine broke , im rigging it up i have the metal stem from the other side of the hose shoved inside the plastic piece, its only for vapor? It should hold
Thank you for this video! I just changed the fuel pump in my 2003 blazer and this video got me though it.
Where is the ground wire for the fuel pump for 2003 Chevy blazer
Wonderful video and good shots so I can see what is going on. I've got to replace the fuel pump in a 2002 Chevy Blazer tomorrow and after watching this (and maybe again later so I'm sure I've got it down) I'm betting it won't be that tough a job.
Thanks for this. I just changed the fuel pump on my 2000 Jimmy, and your video was just what I needed.
Interesting watching the work that's about to be done on my 01 Jimmy. Now I know why it's so expensive. Thanks for sharing this!!
Keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks again!
Nice diagnosis with the shovel, much more effective than a pressure gauge.
Thanks, this helped. Just a tip. If you have access to a motorcycle jack, it works very well to drop the tank. I just lowered a full tank.
Thanks for the connector close up and function 👍
Hi. If you use a radiator hose removal tool on the filler hose it comes off easy. Also if you run a die nut as far up the tank strap bolts as possible the nuts come off easy too. A pair of right angle long nose pliers will help a lot while removing fuel lines, should come off in 1 piece. Thanks for the info Mark, I'm about to crawl under the patient with a hand full of toys & fix it. Would be nice if they had an inspection hole above the pump wouldn't it.
Good video!! However, removing the bolts for the bed, and jacking it up on the front end is a much easier process to gain access to the fuel pump assembly. I guess it all comes down to personal preference. Good job though!! Two thumbs up!!
Thanks for the great post! Excellent Job.
Great explaination and video quality.
man you work really fast!
great video , Thanks Mark
Thanks! excellent video!
Thank you for the video my brother..
that was really helpful... will be doing this in a couple of weeks. thank you for sharing.
lady mechanic
Dang dude, you're fast!
Great video helped a lot
I'am Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos. I Wanta Get My 94 S10 Choptop Pickup Truck Running Again It Hasent Ran In 11 Years 2.2 Liter 5 Speed I Wanta Drive It Again
Thank you. Very helpful
One question...how high does the vehicle have to be lifted to remove the tank from under the vehicle?
Would you please kindly do a video on replacing a 1996 GMC Jimmy SLE (4 door), driver's door latch. Thank you.
Have to do this tomorrow to fix a fuel line leak I can't get to with the tank in
Very good camera work.
Great video! I loved how well you got your camcorder into them tight spots to get the view we needed to get the job done right. I may have to do this to my 95 Jimmy (w4.3L Vortec), if in fact that turns out to be the cause of it not wanting to start. It will start if I use starting fluid though. I hear the pump priming for 2 seconds when the key is turned on, plus I hear the pump's relay in the glove box clicking on as well so I'm kinda ruling out the fuel pump now. Your thoughts on this please?
+Mark Jenkins Thanks for your reply. I'll try the shovel smack trick. I replaced the fuel filter a few months ago thinking it was the cause of the (assumed) restricted gas flowing into the motor but it wasn't. I gave this a full tune-up last December too. It wants to fire but doesn't catch enough to actually start it though. Do fuel pumps lose their oomph before they die and don't put out enough fuel pressure? Thanks again.
@@StrayCat414 I'm dealing with this now, it'll start on fluid and run fine but occasionally die and need starting fluid again
You needed to run a fuel pressure test.
60 psi is what it should be.
thanks for your video .but its not as easy as in your video in real life its much harder to do by your self .but i did it with being very careful too not getting under the truck
Hey Mark, any idea where I can find a new fuel tank? i am replacing the fuel pump in my 99 Blazer 4 door and the clips that hold the retainer clip down on the fuel pump are rusted and broken.
Great job Thanks a bunch!!!
Thanks for an excellent video! Doing my son's 1998 GMC Jimmy today and it was very helpful. Posted a link to your video over at the BlazerForum so hopefully others will benefit from this as well! THANKS!
Was there a second part? If so, can you post a link?
*****
Thanks! Found them and watched them all & all helped a great deal. GM loves to make things more complicated than they need to be.
Dwayne do You Have a link to the blazer forum bro?
Hello. I have a 02 Chevy LS Blazer. I switched my pump. Someone before me had done it before. And lost the bolt for the back strap. Is it just a metric bolt that is 15mm. Or what bolt do I need? It's wired up. That's how me and my friends found it.
Great instructive video, but just a good tip would be to thoroughly clean around the fuel lines BEFORE you disconnect them. Very harmful for the filter and pump to have dirt and rust fall inside the tank.
My vapor return line is like "glued to the tank or something. Any special methods or something on how to get this thing off?
Any chance anyone can give me sort of a diagram for the fuel lines? My 98 jimmy has a metal tank and the lines are all spliced together and there is a T junction in one of the lines and i have no idea what it goes to.
Excelente me sirvió mucho
Hey the one on the right side next to the middle is there a clip that goes inside of it mine was leaking and comes off easy. How do i fix it. Do i buy another one in splice it together
that must be a 4 door my tank is in the back end , good vid on taking out tank sir .
What size are the bolts for the straps? I have 12 psi in my fuel system so i figure i'm going to go ahead and change my pump but my selection of tools is very slim since the hobo's in my area broke into my garage.........
i sprayed wd on mine and the front bolt came loose .but had a problem restalling the strap for the front bolt
Hey I'm having trouble getting the middle line off that's a little diffrent. is it the same way as the others?
Alright my question is. My s10 blazer does start but its tales forever to start it and then once its running I can drive it all day. There is a power loss in the low end. Is that a fuel pump or bad spider?
how did you get the gas out? my fuel pump is on the way of going cause it whines
You can siphon the gas out by just disconnecting the quick connect on the fuel filter and attaching a hose. Then jump the fuel pump relay (Pins 30 to 87). This will force the pump to run. It made my pump run even though it wouldn't with the key on. My pumps motor seamed to seize and that somehow freed it up. (Do NOT jump 85 or 86!)
When someone replaced my fuel pump in my 2001 blazer 4x4 4 door they modified it and cut the hoses. I bought a new pump from the dealer u need to know what size the front hose is and if there is a splice can get. Or fitting because it got crimped
Mark Jenkins Can I use an electric soldering iron near the fuel tank safely?
my fuel pump inlet are labled A,B C which lines go where?
Is the process similar with the 2-door version?
A small wire brush would have made removing that nut a heck of a lot easier by simply cleaning the threads up first... less chance of ruining the threads or braking it off.
Could a bad fuel pump cause a backfire from up to 30 mph, after it reaches that speed it no longer back fires. No check engine lights on or anything
Does this work on a oldsmobile bravada as well?
Mark, this is a very useful video. However, it would be even more useful if you showed how you removed the rubber filler hose from the tank. That is where I am stuck. Mine will not budge. Please help.
Thanks, Mark. I will try tomorrow. Luckily I am in California so my car is virtually rust free. Can't believe what you guys have to deal with in regards to the wear and tear of snow weather. What a nightmare.
thank you for the video. my fuel pump is working fine i replaced it 4 years ago. and well what do you know one of the inlets plastic crap cracked on me an im shooting fuel out. of the cracked plastic peice where the fuel line connects too. im totaly bummed over this but i guess im going to order one off ebay. i found one at auto zone for lol 199.94 an ebay is 67 lol. i hope i do everything correctly. since this is the first time doing this. i sent it out 4 years ago to have the fuel pump done. but i think i can do it. thanks for your video sir.
The exact same thing happened to me yesterday. How'd it go?
Pain in the ass but I got it done. Make sure you don't break off the quick connects because the middle quick connect end is different and you can't buy them in the store you have to go directly to Gm for that. Other then that everything went well. Good luck
be careful ordering from Ebay...I got one that screamed all the time during use, the next one does not put out enough pressure and I have to replace AGAIN!!!
hey Mark, I'm having a problem with my 98 blazer when I feel up my tank it pours out of the top( I belive) once it's full. what could make this happen, I put a new fuel pump in about 3 mouths ago. and advice would be nice
ar15guy100 seems as if the pump is not sitting properly into the tank or you did not use the rubber ring that came with the pump
What if one bolt just keeps turning on the strap. How do I get it out?
I have a parts question. I need a replacement tank for a 2002 chevy blazer 4dr ls. Every tank I come across online for that make model shows it is for 2dr. However, it is suppose to be compatible?? I would think so. I previously order a tank for s10 blazer, (apparently my vehicle has s10 components as well but according to vin it is "blazer" , even have s10 decals on the truck) and that tank I ordered was not the right one. The original is a plastic tank, all the ones I come across or metal.
If the fuel line is not properly place will it create problem?
another video showed him remove the drive shaft. was that rewuired or recomended
Mark I have a GMC2002 Sonoma vin number 1gtdt13w32k144695 the one with the four door cab and short bed. I cannot seem to find the fuel tank. Can you give me any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it. Lillian
Great job
Thanks!
Hey any chance you have had to replace the fuel line & filter after replacing the Fuel pump.. I'm about to and it was a Rusty hole in the fuel line I think cuz it all started spreading out from the side of the door I checked all my hoses and clamps they were pretty solid so now I get to go back home today after work and drop this gas tank again just to get to the fuel line
Only place I screwed up is I didn't buy fuel line clips they don't come with the kit that's the clips he squeezes with his hands and breaks one off I just broke all three since I only had a floor jack and if you don't want to lay on your back the whole time then listen to mark and take that spare out I also took backside driver tire off while doing the wiring part which you will have to do unless you spend $500 for a Oem instead of $250 for an aftermarket lifetime warranty the clip is different with the new pump
Mine has the fuel tank cover / protector. That has to be removed before getting to the tank
Heya. Top Notch. improve business !!!
I couldn't find an oem so replacing mine with a Delphi Technologies fuel pump also. FE0114
"CFE0114" 😮
Your lucky to have a plastic tank, my 96 blazer had a metal tank that rusted all the way down the side and broke open when i did this same job.
does this video go with 99 blazers as well .
I just cut a hole in the floor and removed the pump from inside the vehicle. Put a sheet metal patch over the hole, go to go!
Fred Kaminski Id be too worried about exhaust entering the cab.
cuz its just so hard to spend the 2 hours addl dropping the tank and putting it back up...
