Location of fuel pressure sensor on a Buick lesaber 1999

If your talking about fuel tank pressure sensor, it's in the gas tank. My info says you need to drop the gas tank. You would need to drain gas tank before you drop it. Take electrical connectors loose. Take fuel lines loose. Make sure no pressure on the system before taking any fuel lines loose. So on and so on.

Craftsman model 358.797342 leaf blower has two lines going into the fuel tank, one is attached to a filter that lays within the tank, the other line I'm not sure what to do with?

The second line you are asking about is a pressure line that just goes inside the take and when you prime the bulb it puts pressure in the tank it is not attached to anything in the tank only to the primer bulb.

After the toilet is flushed and the water in the tank drops the floats drops but even with additional downward pressure water doesn't fill up the tank in earnest.

ok...first turn off the water supply at the shuttoff valve under the tank(presuming you have one if not shut the water off some how) disconnect the supply line from the flote valve and hold it into a 5 gal bucket while you turn the water back on slowly. if you are getting good pressure from the supply line then the flote valve is bad or has been obstructed by foreign matter.

Fuel guage not working properly. It will show full when you first fill up but once you get down to almost 3/4 tank it will drop, or not go back to the proper level when restarted. Checked the gas cap and...

Your flote is sticking in your tank not letting it go down below a certain level, Repair this by replacing the flote in your tank, good luck hope this helps.

I Need Diagram of Fuel Line Hookups For a Poulan 2075 Gas Chainsaw. I Have Two Lines Coming From Primer, Two Coming From Fuel Tank, and Two coming From Carburator.

The line at the rear of the fuel tank with the fuel filter is the main feed line to the carburetor and connects to the upper nipple. The lower nipple on the carburetor goes to one of the primer ports, and the other primer port goes back to the tank, which has no filter on the tank end. On the primer port, it is cut and try--remove the tank return connection and leave loose. Place the main fuel line on to one of the primer ports and try to pump fuel into it with several pumps.Make sure the filter in the tank is not plugged. If nothing, shift the line to the other port of the primer and try pumping again. When successful, remove the main fuel line and return it to the upper carburetor port. Run a new line from the lower carburetor port to the active primer port and try to pump fuel again. If it won't pump fuel, reverse the two connections at the carburetor and try to pump again. If still nothing, there is trouble within the carburetor which should be cleaned with spray carburetor cleaner and maybe re-kitted. When you can finally pump fuel through the carburetor, then attach the tank return line to the open port on the primer bulb. Hope fully, the engine should run at this point. Hope this helps!

How do i replace a fuel pump for a gmc safari

You do understand that its located inside the gas tank right? you have to drop the tank to replace the pump. first get van up on jack stands the higher the better, next try and get as much gas as posible out of tank, than unhook all fuel lines and electrical connections and filler hose, and last unbolt tank straps and tank will come down, its best to have some help when you drop it. After its out it perty strate forward just use a screwdriver and a hammer to turn the locking ring and the whole thing( pump and flote) will come out of the tank.
