* In the fuel tank (most common): This is the most likely location for S-10s, especially those from the late 80s and onward. You'll need to drop the fuel tank to access it.
* In-line (less common): Some older models might have the fuel pump mounted in-line in the fuel line, usually somewhere near the tank but externally accessible. This is less frequent.
To find out the specific location for YOUR Chevy S-10:
1. Check your owner's manual: This is the best resource.
2. Look up your year, make, and model online: Search for "[your year] Chevy S-10 fuel pump location" on Google, YouTube, or a repair forum. Many diagrams and videos are available.
3. Consult a repair manual specific to your S-10's year: Chilton's or Haynes manuals are good options.
Accessing the fuel pump, regardless of location, requires caution due to the flammable nature of gasoline. Always disconnect the battery's negative terminal before working near the fuel system.
