So, at 380 thousand miles, the ol fuel pump in the tahoe died.. Pretty good run though I guess right? Haha.. So, having pulled gas tanks in the past made me HATE it.. I decided the fuel pump would be coming to me via the floor board.. Here is my 'write up' guys so be patient an maybe it'll help some other broke, shortcut seaking fool like me!
First things first, the seat goes!
Here is where to cut the carpet
Next I dilled holes to get my bearings on where the sending unit is, then I cut accordingly.. Remember you only have 1/2 an inch between the floor Pan and gas lines!!
I had to break a few tack welds but it gave in and this is the product
It'll be filthy and needs a good vacuuming
The gas lines pop right off with a squeeze of the pliers on the two tabs
Here are the measurements*
Starting at the c pillar..
Then the back of the floor pan
There was no choice but to cut this.. I'll replace it with a rubber gas line
Follow the steps, reverse and youre fuel pump is new!! You will have to reseal the hole with preferred glue.. Well, there's my help to mankind!! Good luck folks.. From 1-10 this job was a 4
Here she is, named her roxanne.. Ya know by the police, because it has so many miles.......
And 'props to whoevers this is' this is the look I am chasing
