How do you change fuel pump on 2001 Chevy Camaro?

Answer 1

In the 1993-2002 Camaro the fuel pump installs into top of fuel tank, so tank removal is required. The existing fuel in the line is likely under pressure. The shop manual recommends you first disconnect the battery, remove fuel filler cap to relieve pressure inside the tank and siphon out as much fuel as possible. Next, locate the fuel line test valve on the engine and press the schrader valve with a screwdriver to relieve line pressure. Next, lift the car and remove the fuel tank. Some exhaust, suspension parts, electrical and fuel line connections will have to be disconnected before unbolting the fuel tank retaining straps and dropping the tank. Once the tank is out, be very careful not to damage any parts or the tank opening as you remove the fuel pump or else the new parts will not seal properly when reassembled. Remove the retaining ring on top of the tank and pry out pump and sending unit. When the new pump is installed, tighten retainer ring nuts to 58 in-lbs. Do not overtighten the retainer ring nuts or the studs may shear off. Reinstall tank and other components that were removed.
