Need to remove the fuel sending unit from the tank on a 2000 gmc safari van

Pull the fuel tank out !

Here's a link to your sensor.

For 1994 GMC Truck Safari Van AWD 4.3L CPI 6cyl is inside the tank...

Hope helps.

Most of them ,you squeeze the bulk head ,the connector and pull,and wiggle them off,but they still use the ones it takes a tool to remove the lines,they are not expensive,and are available at the parts store,if they are plastic,then they more than likely squeeze to remove,but still are difficult to remove

It is located in the gas tank, you will need to remove the sending unit at the top fo the tank. To access the sending unit, you will need to drop the tank by removing the straps. It is a big tank so drain as much as possible and disconnect the batter before you start.

Hope this helps

inside gas tank, access through the top of tank

u need the clearance to work on top// to remove the lock ring and to lift the unit out the pump is about 12 to 14 inches long, just lowering it doesnt give u enough room to work while under the truck

You need to find the psi ratings for the pump you have and see if it matches the pressure specs for a 2000 GMC Safari pump.The parts store you purchased it from( or any parts store) should be able to look up that info on his merchandise

It could be your fuel pump with your car not running right, the gas gauge thing i have no clue maybe the sensor inside the tank is messed up. or it could just be your fuel filter not doing its job. Htere are a few things it could be I would say Fuel Filter, Pump and maybe a vacume (spelling) problem, I would need to be there and hear it running or drive it to really figure out what it is

Up to you about grinding . Easier to drop tank and check all elctricals. Nephew didnt and had a short. Almost blew up. Had a similar problem with motor cutting off. My problem was a diode in the alternator
