two things...   Fuel level.....I noticed that in the owners manual it says you have some left when it reads "E".   Second, the fuel recovery could be a solinoid/valve on the engine and not the gas cap. The tank has a line that runs up to the intake. I dont know where on the the 4.3, but on the the 5.3 its on top of the intake at the front. The pcm pulses the solinoid to put the gas vapor in the engine (for emmissions) after it warms up a bit. Its not uncomin for the platic to break or crack, or the plastic line to it. It is possible to cap the lines and the vacuum leak with no ill effects to how it runs. It will have the code unless deleted via laptop retuning of the pcm and may not pass smog testing depending on were you are at. If the code is deleted, it passes no matter what, but is not good for the enviroment.   The solinoid could just be dead or stuck also. Most of the ones Ive seen are 1 inch by two inches long, with two wires run to it. Replies to this message: tchains (Jun 15, 2009 1:05 pm)

Replying to: 1320jon (Nov 17, 2008 12:45 am) Hi guys, hoping you can help with a couple questions. I was wondering how easy it is to replace the oil filter on the Chevy Express/GMC Savana. Does the van need to be lifted at all or is there enough clearance to do it with it just sitting on the driveway? I presume the oil filter is accessible from the bottom. TIA

Does anyone know exactly how to replace the fuel pump on a 2000 Chevy Express?   Does the owner's manual have directions?   thanks
