The fuel pressure should be alot higher im thinking around 60 psi but I dont remember exact. You most likely need a fuel pump. Its in the gas tank you have to drop the tank and change it out hopefully you dont have alot of fuel in it.
Most of them ,you squeeze the bulk head ,the connector and pull,and wiggle them off,but they still use the ones it takes a tool to remove the lines,they are not expensive,and are available at the parts store,if they are plastic,then they more than likely squeeze to remove,but still are difficult to remove
Initially since the fuel pump is located in the gas tank ,it is not a
task for the average home mechanic. It is electric puts out about 15
lbs. pressure uses the gas in the tank as a coolant. In older models it
is possible to have the pump wiring burn and short out.The results could
be a fire or if you are fortunate pump failure.
There are 4 hoses comimg out of the tank that are held on by clamps get
those of then un clamp the filler hose then un screw bolts holding
the tank and it drops right down.
You need to open the tank then you can
put in the new pump witch is 40 dollars make sure its facing the same
way as took it out then you slide it back in close up the tank then
raiseit up put the 4 bolts back in to hold it up the put the 4 hoses
back on were they go tightin the clamps and you are done.
the fuel pump is inside the fuel tank. some techs just lower the fuel tank down, others remove the bed. personaly dropping the tank is harder, but lifting off the bed requires about 4 strong people.
u need the clearance to work on top// to remove the lock ring and to lift the unit out the pump is about 12 to 14 inches long, just lowering it doesnt give u enough room to work while under the truck
You do understand that its located inside the gas tank right? you have to drop the tank to replace the pump. first get van up on jack stands the higher the better, next try and get as much gas as posible out of tank, than unhook all fuel lines and electrical connections and filler hose, and last unbolt tank straps and tank will come down, its best to have some help when you drop it. After its out it perty strate forward just use a screwdriver and a hammer to turn the locking ring and the whole thing( pump and flote) will come out of the tank.
