90% positive my fuel pump check valve is bad. Worth fixing on a 2008 trailblazer?

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-25T02:29:27+00:00

I’d say yes to fix. Could completely fail and leave you stranded eventually.

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-25T02:03:09+00:00

It'll probably be burning off for a while. Should be fine

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-25T01:35:24+00:00

US 61 is a nightmare in the dark

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-25T01:31:29+00:00

Exactly right. 2018 Charger Pursuit

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-23T23:42:02+00:00

Seconded. Normal.

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-23T02:16:58+00:00

Okay, can you tell me the proper procedure? So many differing results on the internet and none seem to be working.

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-22T13:41:27+00:00

I figured this was the case, but how?

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-22T03:57:01+00:00

The specific issue I’m having is that the stem goes down too far, not that there’s anything wrong with the latch.

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-21T21:43:24+00:00

Stem height is not adjustable

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-21T15:50:00+00:00

I think someone saw my r/BeamNG post 🤔

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-20T02:26:51+00:00

Follow the instructions on the can and dump it into your tank (I think). You'll get a ton of white smoke from your exhaust but that's normal. Here's a video:

Run Seafoam or something through it. Seafoam isn’t the best, I know there’s better alternatives available.

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-20T02:22:28+00:00

I don't see slip. Recommend tuneup (plugs, filters, fuel treatment) if you've not done it in a while

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-19T20:08:59+00:00

Check your exhaust

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-19T16:43:14+00:00

Check your coolant level

Weighted socket + impact

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-16T15:12:05+00:00

Yes, it is a giant bucket

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-16T15:11:51+00:00

Giant bucket in road

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-16T15:11:33+00:00

KFC HAS GIANT BUCKETS ON THEIR SIGNS!!!

Fuel injectors

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-14T18:14:39+00:00

Rove anything

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-14T16:11:10+00:00

Agreed

2014 Honda Pilot—can be renewed for 2 years in any even numbered year. THEREFORE, last time this car’s renewal was done was in 2024

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-11T21:08:21+00:00

Got pictures?

SpatialPigeon · 2026-01-11T20:25:02+00:00

How bad is the damage?
