Had my 6L Crewie now for 8 yrs, to my knowledge the pump/sender/internal filter pad has never been removed nor replaced.
As a maintenance item I want to remove & replace it.
So I Just bought a new OEM fuel pump sender assy from GM & I'm in the midst of removing the oem inlet filter to replace this with a guauze/screen then fit an external efi filter inline under the tray. Below have posted a few pics of the inlet/ bottom of the pump. when I removed the oem filter pad it has a plastic cover over another very small port, can anyone tell me the relevance of this port as I spoke to my mechanic & he has no idea, as most just replace the entire assy & that's about it.
To clarify if you look at second pic the lower port is the one am speaking of.
Thanks for looking.
