How to Troubleshoot the Fuel System on a 2003 Chevy C1500 Pickup

Chevrolet is one the leading manufacturers of quality, American-made trucks. If you have a job to do, you want to be able to rely on the power of your truck and that it can handle the job. The Chevrolet pickup can handle most any job unless the fuel system fails. Troubleshooting the fuel system on your Chevy truck is not as tough as you might think. If you decide to tackle the troubleshooting of the fuel system, you might find the issue and fix the problem yourself.

Instructions

    1

    Open the hood of your truck.

    2

    Direct your assistant to sit in the drivers seat and be prepared to turn the key on and off when you prompt.

    3

    Remove the fuel line from the fuel injector unit with the screwdriver set. The fuel injector unit is located on the top of the motor. You will recognize the fuel line because you can follow it back to the gas tank.

    4

    Have your friend turn the key on and off quickly. If you do not see fuel coming out of the fuel line, then you need to move on to the fuel filter.

    5

    Follow the fuel line back from the engine compartment until you find the fuel filter located under the truck. Remove the line coming into the filter from the gas tank side with the tubing wrench set. Ask your helper to turn the key on and off again. If you have fuel flow, then you need to change the fuel filter. If you do not see fuel, then you need to replace the fuel pump in the gas tank.
