Fuel Pump Replacement

Model: Chevrolet Silverado MK 1 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Fuel pump

To replace the fuel pump, you need to remove the rear part of the vehicle, including the bed. Once you locate the pump, start disconnecting the various fuel lines and electrical wires from the tank, placing a basin underneath to catch any fuel that spills out. Using a ratchet wrench with an extension, remove the two mounting bolts. Once the tank is free from the retainers, remove it and place it on a work surface. Before proceeding to remove the pump, thoroughly clean the area around it. Rotate the locking ring on top of the pump ¼ turn, and now you can extract the pump from the tank, allowing any remaining fuel to drain out. Replace the pump with a new one, following the installation instructions included in the package. Before reinstalling the pump, thoroughly clean the tank opening.
