how much for fuel pump and normal time to install?

Hello,

In order to replace the fuel pump, the fuel tank needs to be removed, as the pump is located inside the tank.

Here is a helpful guide:

Those fuel pumps can cost between $80.00 to $140.00 depending on the brand.
As for the installation it will vary as each shop has different labor rates.

It is always a good idea to call a few shops to choose the best option.

I have attached diagrams for the fuel pump replacement procedure below for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.

I am a smart woman but realistically am I going to be able to do this myself? Or should I be calling mechanics now?

Do you have about 400-500? If you havn't been involved with this sort of job before, get some help...

Yep, you need to drop the fuel tank, to replace the pump here is a video to help you see how the job is done that way you can tell if this is something you want to do.

Let us know if you need anything else.

1st , Is a Fuel Pump considered a Lubricating Part on an Engine .
2nd , when having a fuel Pump replaced Filter was replaced ( by my Request ) is there anything else I need to be aware of in case the shop forget s something ...?

A fuel pump is lubricated by the fuel in the tank that it's submerged in but I wouldn't consider it in a category of "lubricated parts" although I would bet that there is some warranty company trying to do that.

The filter is probably the only other thing to deal with at the time but have him make the the electrical plugs have good tight contacts. GM has a lot of problems with them.

Thanks! I will have regular Maintenance done this week with oil change I will have them do as you suggest ... much appreciated !

My 98 blazer will start and run for about 20 minutes. Once it gets hot it will shut off. Whether that has anything to do with it shutting off or not is beyond me. when it shuts off the fuel pump seems to make a different noise than when it starts. fuel pump was replaced last year along with the filter. Fuel is in the tank at 1/2. It will not restart immediately but if I wait 5 minutes or so no problem....vroom. Now it will only run for about 1 minute.

is there a check engine light on, did you check fuel pressure

no check engine light. do not have a pressure gauge. guess i need one huh...??

How do i change the fuel pump and drop the gas tank on my Chevy Blazer??

Make sue the fuel tank is as close to empty as you can get it. Disconnect the battery, remove the mounting straps from the tank and the tank will drop down and out. I would suggest using a floor jack to lower the tank. It could be heavy. The fuel pump is on the top with one large retaining clip holding it in. Remove the clip and the pump comes out.

If you have other questions, let me know.
