04 Z06 Where is the stock fuel filter located?
I was changing the tranny fluid today on my dad's 04 Z06 and thought it would be a good time to change the fuel filter. I thought for sure it had one because I rembered seeing one on a 99 FRC of a friend of mines. The fact that a guy at Oreilly's sold me one lead me to believe that the car has one, but once under the car I searched all around the fuel tanks tracing out the fuels lines with no result. The only reason I'm asking is because I own an 04 Chevrolet Silverado that does not have a serviceable fuel filter. So if anyone knows if the car has one, where its located, or perhaps the correct part number it would greatly be appreciated

If you jack your Vette up and remove the rear wheels you'll see the easy access plates to get into yor fuel tank. Make sure your below 1/8 of a tank. E would be best. There are tank covers there infront of the wheels, remove the rear four, and only loosen the front two, that will drop the dust cover, and expose the access plates... Let us know if you need any more help..

No this cannot be done on a 2004. The fuel tank is different. The access plate is a the top of the tank. You have to drop the tank. Even if you did this the filter is incorporated into the fuel bucket/pump and you would have to replace the whole assembly..Major $$$s

they divert a little fuel pressure fropm the drivers side fuel pump over to the passenger tank into a ventury. That small flow creates a syphon effect the continually syphons fuel from the passenger tank into the drivers tank keeping the drivers tank full...

The supply line of the passenger tank is tied into the return line from the regulator. The pressure/force of the return line creates a syphon/suction affect on the supply line of the passenger tank and pulls fuel over to the drivers side tank. If there are more than 8 gallons of fuel, then the extra fuel pulled over to the drivers tank spills over to the passenger tank via the fill/connect tube up top.

So the tanks are connected over the driveshaft so that once the first tank gets around 8 gallons inside, it starts to spill over into the other tank?
I was thinking ov just connecting the 2 tanks under the drive shaft with hard line and adding a brace to prevent the driveshaft from dropping down should a u-joint break.

I'm guessing it uses the computers brain to calculate the total fuel based on each senders position. See, I can't do that. I would need to have the fuel levels in both tanks go up and down at the same time in order for a single sender to work.
I suppose I could always run 2 of the stock sender/pump units in each tank and have a toggle switch choose the tnak I'm running on. That's old school, like a lot of trucks use.
Or I could mount a simple pump in the extra tank and use some kind of switch in the main tank that would turn on at a certain fuel level and then turn back off. Then a switch in the second tank to cut fuell pump power once it's empty. That would make the gas guage read funny though.
I could also just manually flip a switch when the main tank gets low to activate the second fuel pump and transfer fuel from the second tank to the main one and then switch off the pump when it's done. I'm not too keen on that as I may accidently leave it running.
Any ideas on how you guys would plumb dual tanks?
