fuel pump for a Z28 97'
Hi folks
the gauge gas of my Z28 97 start going crazy, the mechanic took out the fuel pump and told me that i have to change the fuel pump. I still using my camaro, but the gauge still going crazy and sometimes work good and others not.
I went to the chevy dealer and they charge me $520 just for the fuel pump, In autozone they have it for $250 ( "master" brand) and the "Bosh" fuel pump $320.
Do you guys have any experience with master or Bosh fuel pumps?

???? i'm confused
you gas gauge has nothing to do with your fuel pump.... well not really.
how about you tell us what problem you are having? and i'm hoping you say something like "the guage isn't accurate, it only goes down 1/4 of a tank at a time" or something of that sort. Because that would be an easy fix.... you can't fix it.

What Dan said.
The fuel level sensor within the tank is not related to the fuel pump. Some of the wiring is shared (ground), but unless your fuel pump isn't pumping fuel, I don't see why it'd need replaced. The fuel level sensor/float sends signal back to the dash -- not the pump -- so it sounds like the shop might be messing with you.

Otherwise, if the pump really does need replaced, I'd either go with stock or the aftermarket Walbro 255lph. I'd stay away from Bosch, personally. And naturally, $500 for a stock pump is out of the question.

Had a similar problem with the fuel gauge on one of my LT1s right after a fuel pump change. It turned out that a plastic-encased component on the tank cover (electrical connection) was faulty resulting in an inconsistent reading. Knowing what I know now, with the cost of labor, I'd never change just the pump again. They ended up repeating the labor charge to swap out the entire cover assembly.

What's wrong with the Bosch pump? Their 205LPH pump has a reputation as one of the best available. I run a pair of them, and one is 12 years old (came as in inline booster with my NOS dry kit in 95) and the other one was installed in the tank 7 years ago with the stroker build. They are OEM on the Porsche Turbo engines.
