5.7 tbi 350 engine not starting fuel pump issue?

[K5Blazerboy87]

Well I figured out my problem I took my fuel filter off just thinking what the heck it can't be my fuel pump I had some gas spill on me cause of it being fuel filter I grabbed the main line coming from my tank I put line in a little red gas can turned my key on my pump is kicking on but no fuel is coming out so even if a pump kicks on it can still be bad ? I took out about 10 gallons of gas cause I'm going to drop tank Thursday but I replaced it last year how can it go out so fast it was precision fuel pump brand what could you guys recommend I'm thinking Spectra or Delphi or Dorman? Which one u recommend? I want acdelco but can't find any for my truck I'm looking for nice fuel pump that will last long time any brand suggestions?

Precision is a good brand, stay away from airtek. Sometimes you can get a bad pump, seen it a few times actually.

I just put a spectra fuel sender In my tank. Resistance is right and looked like quality.

I bought a spectra fuel pump assembly it has sending unit and pump and strainer all together so I hope this spectra is good will last for long time hope it's better then this precision I put it only lasted a year

Delphi...is what brand had been in my 84 since its birth. installed two after the spectres crapped out after a year. Delphis seem to outlast most and they aren't that much more money when you consider longevity versus dropping the tanks every year to swap out sub par pumps.Whatever you choose, be sure to replace the in tank strain "sock" filters and clamp on the rubber connector hose to the in tank pump. Some replacement pumps only have a rubber hose that slide over the pump. These are prone to failure as well, leading to pump pressure issues.

Well I hope this Spectra lasts long $148 later lol
