2001 Fuel Milage & Light
#3
I never see that light....since the pump is cooled by the fuel ,I really don't feel like changing a pump because it wore out prematurely from heat. I average around 15 mpg in both of my 4.3l

2nd gen blazers have the fuel pump mounted in a can that's constantly filled by the return line. Running on empty does not cause the pump to overheat because it's always submersed in fuel.
I replaced my tank and pump assembly last summer. Less than a gallon of gas in the new empty tank was enough to start the engine. The needle on the gauge read just below the red block above "E". Nice knowing if the needle is still in the red, I'm OK.

17mpg. Mine doesn't care if it runs low on fuel. Been below a gallon at fill ups routinely and the vehicle has run out of gas multiple times. Have gotten over 100,000 miles out of both fuel pumps (OEM then Delphi).

So why did you have to have your tank and pump replaced? At what mileage?

I get around 12 to 14 in my small town (25k people) and up to 17 to 18 on the highway. Lower in the winter a bit better in the summer.
Can't remember how many gallons left at 1/4, E or when the low-fuel light comes on.
