technically the lift pump sits in the tank... on those lines, just cut them to get them out. when you put it back together, replace the lines. it could be the pump. when you get the pump out, the plunger on the bottom should be very hard to push in and if it isn't the pump probably went out. there is a 1 1/4" banjo bolt on the back of the pump. it comes out easy but if you have fat fingers like me, then it's a PIA to get started.

I got one but the the lower one and passenger side aren't budging. And there is another pump in the tank. Could that be the problem. Hopefully it isn't since I do t want to drop the tank . And yea I fit in the fat finger category

that's why i just cut them. odds are those lines are the factory set so i just assume replace them. the only thing in the tank is a pickup tube and the level sender. no pump.

If its a 96 there should just be a small fuel pump right next to the fuel bowl that's where the pump is located and the ones I've seen aren't that expensive so it's not going to break the bank that is if your going to change it

Clean your fuel lines. Try fueling from a clean can directly.

Fuel pump is good. No flow from the line. Is there an easy way to get all that crap out. The pump was full of black crap that came out in clumps
