I under it and found somthing very interesting. tucked on top the tank was two wires. I traced one to harness and one up to the ground on the battery. These aren't stock wires, these are solid blue. Some one diffently ran them. Looks like they by passed theharness and almost hard wired the pump. Any ideas why some one would do this?

Yepp I found more wires. Looks like the whole pump is rewired some how. Almost like its wired into the wiring harness for lights. Haha some one did some serious redneck engineering on this.

About starting fluid it is so flammable it pre detonates, you can here it a lot of times causing a knocking. Its like spark knock or pinging on low octane. Its possible you can blow a hole in the piston. That being said Ive never actually seen it happen or heard anyone say they had it happen. WD 40 is flammable and a lubricant. I have used it as starting fluid. Spray carb cleaner works really well and cleans. I have never heard a knock from carb cleaner. I use it testing for fuel issues at work.

Na I don't need a mechanic I need a new car! Shoulda kept my 90 sami lol, iv got a new fuel tank with a new pump in it for 150 at a junk yard ever found the receipt for both inside the blazer lol. I also pulled the entire wiring harness that runs all the way back to pump n lights. So tomorrow I'm gonna drop the whole tank and swap it all out. Any pointers to doing this swapp or tricks?... never done a chevy pump just my wrangler 89cj.

By the way I picked up a fp regulator 50 bucks new... is it gonna be a ***** to put in?

[xplorer55]

No I'm not. Hard startin is only two thinks, fuel pump or reg. I did the pump today. Didn't help. So now I'm doing regulator. Plus a lot of these parts were due for a change any how.

[xplorer55]

So tear it all back down and take back all the things that you did not need to replace. Congtats all the same.

[xplorer55]

Like I said... all them parts needed to be replaced anyways lol.
