You would not be doing this lady any favors by trying to "rig" an external fuel pump. Your talking about opening yourself up to liability issues if an accident or fire should occur. The fuel pump is in the tank for a reason. This system operates between 50-60 PSI with a maximum head pressure of 80-90 PSI. You can get just the fuel pump, you just have to shop around. Then again you run the gambit of breaking the plastic module assembly. Search e(vil)bay, I see there's a butt load of them on there.

You could also use optional electric fuel pump to remove the fuel to another vehicle.
Not rocket science.
There's also 5 -6 gallon fuel cans.
$30 pump, Wally World Fuel Cans $10.

1984 s10 pu jerks, bogs by glge8770

My 84 s10 pu jerks and bogs at acceleration. The gas pedal is floored and no speed while jerking. It is a manual 2.8 v6, 5 spd. Plugs, cap, rotor,plug wires all new. Timing set, it runs lean. It did show a 41 code. Carb fuel filter also changed. Any suggestions as to why it won"t accelerate? It almost feels as if it is on a downshift. It won't get past 7 mph when all this occurs. This is my last vehicle. I need any help anyone can offer.Desperate....

Sometimes a bad accelerator pump can cause hesitation on take off.

I have a 2000 Chevy S-10 4 wheel drive pickup with 57,000 miles. I haven't been driving the vehicle regularly, but I would start the truck & drive it around the block. I noticed the "check engine" light came on once when I started the vehicle. The next time I attempted to start the truck it would not start. I priced a fuel pump an auto parts & nearly had a heart attack when they told me $395.00 plus my old one! The reason I haven't been driving the truck is the Universal joints need replaced. I was told today these vehicles have a fuel pump fuse or reset switch somewhere. Are these guys correct or are they just putting me on because I'm a woman? Are there other things I need to check before towing it to get a fuel pump installed? Thanks for any info.

You need to get it towed in and have it properly diagnosed, it could be a number of things.
