Changing An Electrical Fuel Pump On The 2000 Chevrolet Silverado

Popular Motors suggests that you study the pump and its fuel operation components every 60,000 miles. Over that room, benefit may wear our the pump, reducing its efficiency.8. Use the socket wrench to loosen the fuel sender access panel's bolts. Remove the panel, revealing the fuel pump.9.
