My blazer has not been having any really noticable problems except my wife says she has heard a wine like a bad belt sometimes in the mournings. The gas gage has been broken for about 5 years. Just yesterday I was driving and the car seemed to sputter just for a second then died on me. I turned it on one more time and drove about 100 yards and it died on me for good. We had it towed to a local mechanic. He said that it is the fuel pump that needs replacing. I think he is right, but he said that he needs to replace the entire fuel tank. I know that I have to drop the tank to get to the pump. But is there any reason I would need to replace the whole tank? Or can I just replace the faulty fuel pump?

If the fuel tank is not leaking-don't slap on a new fuel pump if its the actual problem.

My question is do you hear the fuel pump come on for a few secs. Might not be the pump and you being jerked around for more $$$$$$$$$.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
