Where is the fuel filter on a 1982 corvette?
Where is the fuel filter on a 1982 corvette?
Try using an external 12-volt power source and apply directly to the fuel pump. If the fuel pump starts, check wiring and the fuel pump relay. If the fuel pump does not start with direct power, the fuel pump is bad and needs to be replaced. The gas filter is located on the frame rail just behind the front right tire.
What kind of fuel pump does a corvette use?
It is a low-pressure, high-volume electric pump mounted inside the gas tank, replacing the mechanical-style pump used on all previous Vettes. When the ignition key is turned to the “run” position, but before the “crank” position, the fuel pump gets power from the battery, runs for a few seconds, and then shuts off.
What should the fuel pressure be on a 1982 corvette?
Crank the engine for several seconds. Fuel pressure should be between 9 and 15 psi. This pressure should hold for several minutes to an hour or more. If the pressure drops off quickly, either an injector is leaking, the fuel pump check valve is not working, or the fuel pressure regulator is at fault.
Why are the fuel lines on my 1982 Corvette not working?
Old fuel lines and hoses may cause restrictions due to kinks and/or dents, and old rubber fuel lines may have collapsed inner portions. If the car has been sitting for years it would be wise to replace these anyway. To troubleshoot your 1982 Corvette fuel system further, you will need a fuel-pressure gauge.

Where is the fuel gauge on a 1982 corvette?
Although later-style EFI units have a Schraeder valve on a fuel rail to hook up the gauge, the Crossfire injection system does not. To test the fuel pressure, find the inbound fuel line and add a “T” the line, so that you can hook up the gauge.
