Status: offline Couple things to add.  Be carefull removing/replacing the fuel pump and sending unit.  I've read that if it get's banged too much it won't be accurate anymore.  Meaning that the gag gauge will read funky.  Also while it's out I would clean it out a little bit.  Throw some kerosene in there with a couple nuts and shake it around.  Also watch out for any pinholes in the tank.  When I took the tank out of my 85 blazer I found a few holes around the tank straps.   _____________________________ 85 S10 Blazer 4x4, 2 door, undergoing 350 swap, 3" BL, 33''''s 89 Jimmy 4x4, 2 door, 4.3/auto (in reply to graybullsgirl) Post #: 6
