    Hi Kenneth Harrison, has it got an accessible fuel pump. disconnect fuel line from engine and if electric pump place `12v on fuel pump relay and use car to pump the fuel into an empty fuel rated container designed for fuel.?
    seehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHUzvTFP...
    A lot of cars have anti siphoning stuff in the fuel inlet to stop fuel being siphoned.
    seehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mGeb9s6...
    What ever you do don't suck the fuel into a hose from the fuel tank as the fuel vapour can kill you when you breath it in or swallow the fuel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOBdImPD...

    Bad fuel ? petrol ?
    or diesel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8SP4dxg...
    if it is water in the fuel add mentholated spirits to petrol fuel google it and find out how to do this to remove water from petrol using metho . Also check fuel filter not clogged up.

They is no easy way to siphon fuel from your 95 Blazer. The fuel tank is plastic. There are two hoses leading to the tank. The smaller hose ia the Vent Hose. The larger hose is the fill hose. You can try to remove the large fill hose at the tank and try to remove the tamper resistant insert. this insert prevents the tank from being siphoned. I'm not sure where you grabbed the fuel sample from but if it truly looks like Chew Spit then there are bigger problems. The tank will need to come down. Any questions please write back.

SOURCE: 2002 chevy blazer fuel pump (4 door)

yes you have to drop the tank. you will also need a fuel line tool to unhook the fuel lines. before you drop the tank see if tou can reach and wiggle the electrical connection on the top of the tank. these pumps have a pigtail issue. please rate

SOURCE: chevy s10 4 wheel drive will not engage

There is a vaccuum operated switch located on the transfer case that sends vaccum to the accuator that pulls a cable that locks the front end in. Check for vac coming in and out of this switch if no vac out replace it. This switch is a very common problem. You can find them at most parts stores in the help section #49315. please rate.

SOURCE: 4-3 vortec gas in my oil 1994 s10 blazer . vehicle was running

it doesnt take long to ruin the engine diluting the oil with gas - i dont know how i dodged that bullet, mine was leaking -gas into the oil- new spider is only the beginning of the care and feeding of the unpowered poppit spider motor- regular bottles of injector cleaner will keep them poppits clean, otherwise fuel deposits mess up the quantity and pattern of the fuel spray quickly from new- i had long suspected the new spider i installed was faulty, (Sorensen), but it was just quickly plugged by fuel deposits-as i understand it, the additives often in gas like to hook up in the poppits- my 1994 4.3 S10 kicks **** now, runs like it did when i bought it 5 yrs. ago, smooth like its supposed to, i was chasing the piggy/miss for two yrs, bottles of injector cleaner didnt help, it needed a heavier mix of cleaner
- it couldnt hardly get itself and a little aluminum boat out of a easy boat ramp, what broke free the deposits was doubling up on the amount of injector cleaner i dumped in the tank, when a person takes a clogged injected vehicle to a shop they hook up a pressurized system to it ,and disable the fuel pump -shop air system is better than aerosol can system, force the engine to run on a <10%> cleaner/gas mix for 20 minutes, guess i did get lucky with results from the cleaner addtive, cuz the real fix is find a shop that does the 10% cleaner 15-20 minute pressure wash of the injectors, and it should be done at least every year- mines running so good now, ill not see a lot of results from the pro cleaning i'm scheduled for tomorrow morning - hate to cancel tho- these unpowered poppits are very finicky - i did reuse my plemun half shell gasket, it has the red rubber line on it and it was still live so i reused it

SOURCE: upgrade 4.3 l carb engine to vortec TFI fuel system

It can be done but it is very time consuming.
I use an 87 Astro van intake sensors and computer on my 86 OMC.
After six years I am still playing with it.
Runs good and easy on gas.
Got lots of info from DIY-EFI.
You HAVE to change programing in the computer.
I am running a closed loop system with one oxygen sensor in the starboard manifold.
Your 94 computer is not as good for a boat because it also controls the transmission.

Just to give you an idea what your in for.

Can i replace the fuel pump in my chevy 2000 S10 blazer with one from 1985 S10 blazer?

no, they are different pressure. it has to come from one with central fuel injection, like maybe 94 and up. also, the sending units even then

I cant put more than 6 gallons in the 20 gallon

Every fuel tank has a breather pipe. If this gets blocked or the pipe is kinked, you will really struggle to put fuel in the tank.

97 s10 blazer cuts out and loses power while driving.

Had the same problem with by 1998 S10 a couple years ago. Changed fuel filter?? didn't work. Changed the fuel pump?? didn't work. Changed the fuel pressure regulator?? didn't work.

I was about to the end of my rope when I put a timing light on it and it showed firing on cylinders more then once a cycle. Turns out my distributor cap was bad and spark was jumping between contacts. When a spark is spread out over more then one cylinder, it doesn't fire correctly and that is causing it to bog out. Simple and a lot cheaper then all the other fixes I tried. Crank sensor was my next option though.
