Yes typical problem and know about the pain in the #$#$ about getting the tank down.

The relay is under the hood and in the relay box. Quick check the fuel pressure on the injection rails.

Yes you could add an inline fuel pump to the line and see if that would create enough pressure. I do that on my race cars.

SOURCE: fuel pump or fuel pump relay on 1989 Chevy Suburban 1500 4x4

the relay and fuse are in the power distribution box under the hood. as far a by pass you still can use an aftermarket electric pump ,however the cost will be about the same as re3moving the old pump in the tank if that is the cause in the first place. if all you need is the relay replaced then i'm sure that the pump is still good. if the pump is bad then make sure if you by pass the in tank pump that the new under hood electric pump has enough pressure to give the needed gpm(gallons per minute) required for your system and that if wired into the current fuel circuit that you dissconnect the wire harness to your tank pump

My 1988 chevy silverado turns over to long before starting, it starts every time but long of turn over time,i've changed filters, injectors, wires, plugs

I have seen this kind of problem once. it cost 1800$ to ESSO
you have to know that the flash point of fuel is different
empty your fuel tank like usually and fill her up with new fuel at another gas station
flash point is the temperature where the fuel will ignite without spark. the flash point in summer is low and in autumn or winter is high

Why does my 1988 gmc truck turns off when driving

fuel pump, or fuel punp relay mounted on fire wall, check the fuse in relay, also check the ground wire from fuel pump (in tank) to the inlet pipe , under the truck, where you put gas in, fuel pump needs a good ground period. fuel pump could be on its last leg ! reason why I know this is cause I have a 1988 gmc 3/4 ton. to access fuel pump, I cut an access opening in truck bed, 12" square above tank at location of pump. better than dropping tank, besides the truck is how old ? makes a hard job easy. change your fuel filter also. good luck, ken

I changed the fuel filter in my 2004 silverado and now my truck won't start

It would be nice if you were to mention WHICH ENGINE your Silverado is equipped with...Knowing WHICH Silverado MODEL you have would also be nice...1500, 2500, 2500HD, 3500. etc.
If it is a gas engine, all you should have to do is to cycle the ignition key ON for about 5 seconds, then turn the ignition switch OFF and wait about 30 seconds, then repeat this about 3 times. This will allow the fuel pump prime to get the air out of the fuel lines. It should start after this is done.

If your truck is equipped with a diesel engine, the process is much different, let me know if this is the case, and I will post the fuel filter replacement instructions for the diesel.

Check the ground wire for good contact.
