my pump on the way south? inline pump question! Well my fuel pump started whining more then usual... so im lik eehhh i assume its the stock pump (99,000 miles on it then) so what are my options are far as inline fuel pumps my mechanic said in the driver side fender well is where he puts them usualy
$100
$100
Just save up a bit and get the whole racetronix kit.
Hey if the intank pump goes, the inline one probably isn't going to do much for you I don't think, aren't they usually to boost the fuel pressure??

It's not that difficult. When you pull back the carpet above the hatch area, you will basically see the outline where you will cut. Just use a cut-off wheel and go cut around the area. The metal is extremely thin and you will see after you start to make your cut so you'll know how far to go down. You won't cut into anything your not suppose to since there is plenty of room between the tank and where you are cutting. I actually did this swap at my buddy's shop out in the driveway (my car was still on the trailer too) so it's not complicated at all. Once you have made the hole, you can come up with your own method of sealing it. Some people get real creative and make a weather-sealed hinged hatch so if you ever need to get back in there your good to go. Just up to you how creative you want to get but it's really easy and probably something GM should have done in the first place.
