Actually it *can* flow a decent amount, and Buick guys used to even use it as an upgrade.

The problem is that the original ones in any trucks are now 9+ years old and their output is severely diminished.

Doing a $100 fuel pump is good insurance.

:cry: ive been there twice with mine... i forgot something the first time and had to go at it again. seems though that the 2nd time went much quicker and smoother. it helps if you have all the tools lying next to you. what i did, was lift the ty as high as i could with a floor jack... get it sitting on blocks, then use the floor jack to put pressure under the tank (assuming you know how to get the plastic cover off) loosen the bolts and use the jack to help you lower the tank down about 1/2 way. My dinky 150lb body can sit on the floor and i can get my head up between the tank and the underside of the truck, its pretty easy to loosen up the lines and disconnect everything. i use the floor jack to keep the tank about 1/2 in the truck while loosening the lines... putting the tank back in took me 2 people ... the filler hose will slide loose but it takes two to wiggle the damn thing back into place...

worth it in every way. 8)

Another thing if you don't have a spare jack to use - try a couple bungee cords around the tank - it has more give then a jack should your head get stuck :)
