The Chevy K1500 Fuel Pump is usually installed inside or close to the the fuel tank. As the main component of your electronic fuel injection system it's primary function is to pump fuel from the tank to the injectors. Modern vehicles require that fuel is delivered under pressure.

The reason is that modern fuel injectors are programmed to deliver very specific amounts of gasoline to the cylinders for different driving and road conditions. This is why fuel-injected cars are so efficient - they take exactly as much fuel as they need - no more and no less.

When the Chevy K1500 Fuel Pump begins to wear out, it is not able to measure these precise amounts, and the engine may waste gas. Overall performance will decrease while fuel consumption may increase - and your vehicle may start to emit more poisons. Your fuel system's calibration will be thrown off and the engine may be not receive the fuel it needs when during cold weather or when running under a heavy load. If you experience hard starting regardless of engine or ambient temperature, rough idling, slow acceleration loss of high-speed power, chances are that fuel pump is having problems. Without correct fuel pressure, cylinders may misfire at idle speeds as well as when the engine is laboring - especially when running uphill or pulling a trailer. Because of the increased emission of hydrocarbon gases, and your Chevy K1500 may not meet emissions standards in your state. Fuel pumps have a full time job, getting old and tired by 100,000 miles.When it's time for it to retire, you'll find the right replacement at a great discount price when you log on to our website.
