Thread: Having a problem with a LS1

Tweet

Well I found the problem,, instead of dropping the tank , I cut a access hole in the trunk floor above the pump location,, just happens to be directly below the battery location,

I tested the pump pressure right at the pump,, it was about 12 #,, so that told me that the pump was bad,, I pulled the pump out of the tank,, to go get a new one and while taking the short rubber hose that goes from the pump to the outlet fitting, I noticed it was split,, so it was pumping but squrting back into the tank,, so that meant that something caused it to build enough pressure to split that hose,, The 2 rubber hoses for supply and return were flattened a little from being mashed between the tank and floor of the car,, just enough to cause pressure to build up enough to rupture that hose , [ the tank was installed before the body was , ]
at least now I don't have to buy a new pump,,

Hey Glenn,, You probably wouldn't want this thing,, its just a old 4 dr , Chev
