How do you replace the fuel pump located on a GMC Safari?
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. I replaced the fuel pump in my 1999 van. It took 3 hours
(and we had a pit) and $500. part.If you don't know what you are
doing find someone that does. hi it took me in my drive way 1 to 2
hours the most to pull the tank and put in the new pump. its easy
there are 4 hoses comimg out of the tank thet are held on by clamps
get those of then un clamp the filler hose then un screww u bolts
holding the tank and it drops right down the u need to open the
tank then u can put in the new pump witch is 40 dollars make sure
its facing the same way as u took it out then u 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 ur done.i had 1 jack and my drive way
