Care should be taken not to fold over or twist the fuel pump strainer when installing the fuel sender assembly, as this will restrict fuel flow.

The fuel filter is located in the fuel sender assembly, inside the fuel tank. Vehicles with dual tanks, have no fuel filter in the rear tank fuel sender assembly.
hi mate the fuel sender on the corsa should be in the fuel tank as on the majority of cars cheers telboy.
fuel gauge sender and pump are in the gas tank (which must be removed).
Inside the fuel tank.....
the fuel pump is located on the fuel sender inside the fuel tank
Under the back seat there are two access panels to the tank. The fuel pump/sender unit is under the O/S panel and the other sender unit is under the N/S. You can tell the difference as the fuel pump and sender combined unit will have two electrical connectors. The solitary sender only has one and a fuel return pipe i think.
== == The Pontiac Vibe Fuel filter is located on top of the gas tank. you can access it by going thru the cargo floor hatch under the spare tire. The access to the fuel filter in the fuel tank is by removing the bottom of the rear seat. It is not something that needs to be routinely replaced
The most likely reason is the sender wire (that runs from the sender unit in the fuel tank) is earthing some where along its route.
You have to drop the fuel tank, which is quite a project, and then 'unscrew' the fuel sender unit. The sender is held in place by a lock-ring that must be gently hammered loose in a counter-clockwise direction. You can then pull the fuel sender unit out of the tank and replace the fuel pump. The difficult part of this whole process is dropping the fuel tank. Search for "drop suburban fuel tank" for instructions on how to do that.
Well, removing a Holden 1971 HQ fuel sender is like painting a happy little tree. First, gently disconnect the fuel lines and electrical connections. Then, carefully unscrew the sender unit from the tank, making sure to support it as you lower it out. And remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents in the world of car maintenance.
