How to put inline fuel pump in tank silverado 2500

My truck has an in tank fuel pump and I want to bypass it and put an inline fuel pump. It was starting rough and I had a diagnostic done. "They" said it was the fuel regulator. I replaced the fuel regulator and it is still still turns over rough after 15 secs. Now they are saying its my fuel pump but its pretty expensive to change out so I want to put an inline fuel pump in.

You would need to drop the tank pull the old pump out and put in a tube to get it to the pickup screen,,instead of the nightmare of putting in a inline pump,,, just put the one in the tank that's factory,,,you can either drop tank or take off the bed of the truck and slide it back

Has anyone put a inline fuel pump on a f 450 and left the oem pump in the tank?

You might need to bypass the one in the tank as it could act as a blockage to the fuel flow. Once you have bypassed it you can leave it in place as some models have the fuel level sensor built into them.

How do I put inline fuel pump in silverado 2500

What's the fuel pressure ? Hook up a fuel pressure gauge an test it yourself . fuel regulator ??? It's a fuel pressure regulator . I was starting rough and I had a diagnostic done. "They" said it was the fuel regulator.
Hard starting - not starting rough . What year is the truck , what engine does it have . If they don't know for sure what's wrong you better try another repair shop that know's how to diagnose .
Electrical problems can lead one to believe the fuel pump is bad . Doing voltage drop testing on the electrical circuit is a very good test.

Plus doing current testing can pin point a bad fuel pump .

How to put inline fuel pump in tank silverado 2500

You would have to cut the pump off the pickup tube and add tubing to make up the lost length of the pump. That may be challenging. .

My 6.5LTD Silverado will not start

I'm assuming you a talking about a Turbo Diesel. Diesels can be complicated. I would suspect the fuel injection pump. It must reach 1900psi to overcome the compression.

I've had pumps go bad because of the ultra high tolerance needed in the pump itself to get to that performance level.

How do I replace the fuel pump on a 1988 Chevrolet 2500 Pickup>

You've got to drop the tank, remove the sending unit from the top of the tank, and the fuel pump will be attached to the portion of the sending unit that is submerged in the tank. Put out your cigarrette and don't use a steel chisel to turn the sending unit lock ring.

I have a 1988 chevy silverado 5.7 ltr and it will not trun over, what other option do i have besides replacing the fuel pump

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.
