There’s another good reason to never drive your Chevrolet Pickup to the point where you run out of gas. It’s a good way to cause your fuel pump to fail. Although they usually fail without any warning whatsoever, you might be lucky enough to hear a loud humming noise first before it dies on you.
If the fact that it can fail without warning wasn’t bad enough, it can also be hiding in a bunch of different places in your truck. Owners of older models should try looking by the front of the engine block.
Vehicles from the mid 80’s on have more possibilities: along a frame rail, near the gas tank, or possibly even in the gas tank itself, where it uses the gas stored inside to keep itself cool and lubricated. (Be sure to wear eye protection before you start searching, since the fuel line is probably under pressure!) That’s a lot of work to find one part! But believe it or not, most people can replace it themselves once they find the fuel pump, especially a mechanical one.
