ok, I am broke, but will manage to buy a 300.00 USD fuel pump for my
1997 blazer. However, I may be short of having the cash to pay for labour. I was quoted at 150.00 usd for the repairs.I bought the hanes manual, and it looks like a job I can tackle. I have done oil changes, and the most mechanical work I have done is replacing a power steering pump and alternator.
What safety precautions should I take when removing the gas tank from the blazer? any known issues U shoould be aware of? the tank is almost empty, and if I manage to get car started again ( by hammering the side of a tank with a 4x4 ) I am thinking of letting it idle until it runs out of gas. Is this a good idea? any inputs in safety is highly appreciated.
