First it all depends wish fuel pump you'll use for this but 99% of all fuel pumps are made to push the fuel instead of pulling, so it has to be closer to fuel tank, the closer the better it will perform and the longer the life of this fuel pump........................
Is it an electronic or mechanical
To replace the fuel pump, you have to drop the gas tank and the fuel pump is located right on the top of it. The fuel pump is not on top of the gas tank. It is a mechanical fuel pump and is bolted to the side of the engine block.
No, your engine is not equipped to drive a mechanical fuel pump. You must use an electric fuel pump. The fuel pump is mounted on top and inside the fuel tank.
There is only three reasons that a mechanical fuel pump will not pump fuel. The fuel filter maybe clogged and need replacement. It may also be the fuel pump diaphragm is busted requiring you to replace the fuel pump. You might be out of fuel.
Pump the fuel out with a mechanical hand pump. You do not have to remove the tank to replace the fuel pump as there is an access panel inside the vehicle just above the fuel pump.
Usually these Chevrolets have an electric fuel pump which is located inside the gas tank. I don't think a 1988 has a mechanical pump. You have to remove the gas tank to do this job. vbd
There are two kinds of fuel pumps that your pickup can have, Mechanical, or Electric. More than likely you have a Mechanical, the Mechanical fuel pump is located on the side of the engine (pretty easy to replace), you can follow the fuel line from the fuel filter down to it, and just google an image of a mechanical fuel pump you will find it. If your fuel pump is Electrical it will be in the gas tank, or tanks if you have dual tanks. For Electrical, you will have to take off the fuel lines to the tank, unstrap it and remove it from the pickup to in order to remove the pump.
If you mean replacing the electric pump with a mechanical one, that is not possible.
The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank. From 1995-96 and up you have to replace the entire sending unit, cost is roughly $300.
