Best Answer

On the Chevy S10 the fuel pump is submerged in the fuel tank. If you turn your key to the acessory on position you should be able to hear the pump if you listen by the driver side rear wheel. If you do not hear it then it is inop. The factory original pump will only last around 100,000 miles. Also is your fuel gage starts sticking and getting jumpy, this means the fuel pump/transmitter will fail before much longer.
