Older chev mechanical pumps had a single feed line. Newer ones had a feed line and a return. The steel lines on the sending unit are feed and return. If there was a vent line it would be a seperate line going to the top of the tank all by itself. If everything is hooked up correctly you should have about 7lbs pressure at the feed line.The needle valve in the carb will not allow leak-back if it is working correctly. If you have a Qjet carb, the bottom bowl plugs sometimes leak... that is a different problem not caused by supply.

    OK I misunderstood... if the fuel sender has two lines, one would be a return line If there is a stand alone line to the top of the tank, that is a vent line and yes it goes to the evap system. You can leave that one connected, otherwise if blocked off, you may develop vacuum inside the tank as fuel is consumed. You can use the later fuel pump with the return port... just block off the return (remember to check line pressure at the carb though.)

I have 97 chevy lumina I get these two codes 1675 P0440 if any have answer how fix this please tell me

440 code is the evap vapor system failure and the 1675 is an error code for the solenoid that controls that system, IT appears they are related. If you did any maintenance on the vehicle you may have knocked a connector loose. If you did not have any maintenance done then it would be a solenoid valve or cable / connector failure

What will cause a p0440 code to appear on 2000 chevy silverado?

What engine does it have ?
Engine Controls - 4.3L
Engine Controls - 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L
DTC P0440 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System
Circuit Description
The evaporative system includes the following components:
• The fuel tank
• The evaporative emission (EVAP) vent solenoid
• The fuel tank pressure sensor
• The fuel pipes and hoses
• The vapor lines
• The fuel cap
• The evaporative emission canister
• The purge lines
• The EVAP purge solenoid
The evaporative leak detection diagnostic strategy is based on applying a vacuum to the EVAP system and monitoring the vacuum decay rate. The vehicle control module (VCM) monitors the vacuum level via the fuel tank pressure sensor input. At an appropriate time, the EVAP purge solenoid and the EVAP vent solenoid turn ON, allowing the engine vacuum to draw a small vacuum on the entire evaporative emission system. If a sufficient vacuum level cannot be achieved, a large leak or a malfunctioning EVAP purge solenoid is indicated. The following conditions can cause this problem:
• A disconnected or malfunctioning fuel tank pressure sensor
• A missing, malfunctioning, improperly installed, or loose fuel cap
• A disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked EVAP purge line
• A disconnected or damaged EVAP vent hose
• A disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked fuel tank vapor line
• A disconnected or malfunctioning EVAP purge solenoid
• A disconnected or malfunctioning EVAP vent solenoid
• An open ignition feed circuit to the EVAP vent or purge solenoid
• A damaged EVAP canister
• A leaking fuel sender assembly O-ring
• A leaking fuel tank or fuel filler neck
Any of the above conditions can set a DTC P0440.

    How to replace fuel pump on chevy malibu 2000

    First you should check your trunk. some newer chevy's have an access pannel uner the trunk liner inside the trunk. you remove the liner, remove the bolts and panel, and the pump is right there. it may take some effort to get it wiggled through, but trust me, it will fit. you must remove the fuel lines and wire harness first, then remove the lock ring completely before attempting to pull the pump through the access hole. if that fails then you need to drop you fuel tank to access the pump. there are instructions for removal and installation of the tank below.

    REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
    1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
    2. Drain the fuel tank, using a hand-operated pump device to drain as much fuel through the filler tube as possible.



    0900c1528026905d.jpg Fig. View of fuel tank mounting


    0900c1528026905e.jpg Fig. The fuel filler pipe is attached to the body with a bracket and retaining bolt


    0900c1528026905f.jpg Fig. The fuel filler pipe is attach to the tank by a hose clamp
    1. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
    2. Unfasten the muffler hanger bolts.
    3. Remove the rubber exhaust hangers, then allow the exhaust system to rest on the rear axle.
    4. Disconnect the hoses from the fuel tank sender. Grasp the filter and one nylon fuel connection line fitting. Twist the quick-connect fitting 1 / 4 turn in each direction to loosen any dirt within the fitting. Repeat for the other fitting. Using compressed air, blow out the dirt from the quick-connect fittings at the end of the fuel filter.
    5. Detach the quick-connect fittings by pulling the release tabs back on the fuel line quick connector and pulling apart.
    6. Disconnect the hoses at the tank from the filler, vent and vapor pipes.
    7. With the help of an assistant, support the fuel tank, then disconnect the two tank retaining straps and carefully lower the tank.
    8. Detach the fuel sender electrical connector.
    9. Unplug the fuel pressure sensor connector.
    10. Remove the fuel tank from the vehicle.

    To install:
    1. If the tank is being replaced, perform the following:
      1. Remove the sound insulators.
      2. Remove the modular fuel pump/sender assembly, as outlined earlier in this section.
      3. Inspect all connectors for dirt and burrs. Clean or replace, as required. Inspect the fuel line O-rings for cuts, nicks, swelling and/or distortion and replace as necessary.
      4. Install the fuel sender assembly to the new tank, as outlined earlier in this section.
      5. Install the sound insulators.

    2. With the help of an assistant, raise the fuel tank to the vehicle and attach the fuel sender connector and, if equipped, the fuel pressure sensor connector.
    3. Raise the fuel tank into position then fasten the retaining straps. Tighten the retaining bolts to 26 ft. lbs. (35 Nm).
    4. Connect the hoses to the filler, vent and vapor pipes.
    5. Attach the nylon fuel feed and return connecting line quick-connect fittings to the fuel sender, as follows:
      1. Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male connector tube ends.
      2. Push the connectors together to cause the retaining tabs/fingers to snap into place.
      3. Once installed, pull on both ends of each connection to be sure they are secure.

    6. Install the rubber exhaust hangers.
    7. Install the muffler hanger bolts, then tighten to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm).
    8. Attach the fuel tank sender electrical connector.
    9. Carefully lower the vehicle.
    10. Refill the fuel tank, then connect the negative battery cable.
    11. Turn the ignition to the ON position for two seconds, then turn it to the OFF position for ten seconds. Turn again to the ON position and check for fuel leaks.

    How to change fuel pump 1990 cadillac seville

    The fuel pump and sending unit is located in the tank. I hope your tank is empty, if not you will need to siphon it out. It is dangerous with the gasoline, and remember the fumes burn, not gas. You start by removing the filler hose, then loosen straps, detach sending unit wire and fuel line, then lower tank. Then unscrew the sending unit/pump and replace. reinstall.

    3. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
    CAUTION Observe all applicable safety precautions when working around gasoline. Do not allow fuel spray or fuel vapors to come in contact with a spark or open flame. Keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near the work area. Never drain or store fuel in an open container due to the possibility of fire or explosion.
    1. Use a suitable hand operated pump device to drain the fuel through the filler tube into an approved container.
    Before disconnecting any fuel lines from the fuel tank, thoroughly clean around all hose connections.
    1. Disconnect the fuel filler vent hose from the fuel tank.
    2. Detach the fuel filler hose from the fuel filler inlet tube on the fuel tank. Position the hose out of the way.
