Hey Randy, I am getting ready to put a fuel pump into a Blazer almost identical to this one but the ears that hold the retainer ring in place are rusted and broken. I am afraid I am going to need to replace the fuel tank but I cannot find a new one anywhere. Do you have any ideas where I could find a new one?
my 99 s-10 blazer drinks gas and I can smell it but can't find leak, fuel filter area sound kinda funny like a vacuum leak kinda but not all of the time, it's new btw so I don't know...please advise if anyone has any ideas...ive checked all I can think to...thanks much
Lawabiding Citizen The fuel filter possibly may be restricted , causing the noise, you might want to replace it. As for the gas odor, don't know what to tell you. It doesn't take much of a fuel leak to be able to smell it. You just need to follow all of the fuel lines and look for leaks. You might check the fuel lines where they attach to the engine. I have seen the hard nylon lines crack or leak at the crimp, if yours has the nylon type. Look at the fuel manifold on the engine and the injectors for leaking. You could possibly have an evaporator canister vent valve stuck open, check for codes.
Chevy Engineers provided an easier way of removing gas from a fuel tank. I just did it on my 99 Chevy blazer with 4. 3L for removing 1-1/2 year old gas from the tank. Under the hood, and in the back of the engine right next to the distributor cap, there is a nozzle fitting with an internal Schrader valve (car tire core valve) that is used to attach a fuel pump gage to test fuel pump pressure. Use a core valve remover to remove the internal valve. Push over the fitting a 3/8 ID hose that is long enough to put the other end into a container. Remove the fuse box cover (driver side) and locate the fuel pump relay. Next to the relay is an open terminal. Connect a jumper wire from the positive battery terminal and insert the other end into the open terminal. That will bypass the fuel pump relay and run the fuel pump continuously to pump the gas from the tank. Run until you see about half amount of flow with lots of bubbles. ( Do not want to burn out the fuel pump, trying to run the tank dry.) The tank is about an 18 gal capacity, so remove no more than 16 gallons.
The video is a COMPLETE waste of time!!! This character doesn't know anything and he surely did NOT do anything. Near the end he "wisely" tells you that we can use the funnel to put the fuel back into the vehicle. Who would have thought of that???

Josh Vandeventer No I don’t. Sorry. Did you check with the dealer?
Try partsgeek.com, I know they sell replacement tanks
Hi it's a year later, how'd you make out with that?

On top of your tank, by the lock ring is where it’s probably coming from.
Where was the fuel pump purchased?

I'm trying to take my fuel pump off but the 15mm screw is just sitting there spinning and not coming off
REWREW I’m guessing the threads are stripped. Do you mean the nut on the strap?
Are you still spinning it?

Haa haa hhaaaaaa

Good to know! Thanks.
How well is that going to work with a bad fuel pump?
