Dies on right turn at 3/8 tank or less
Another strange one for this 2000 blazer.
as title says, when gas tank is at 3/8 or less then it does when you make a right hand turn. Just dies like it ran out of gas but starts right back up.
Started out only doing it at 1/4 tank which I always kept it above that. I got a driving range of about 220-230 miles per tank with that. Now that it's moved up to 3/8-1/2 tank. Then only get about 180 miles per fill up. I don't like stopping that often. Lol
I'm going to try changing the fuel filter first but not expecting that's it. I know it needs to be done and just maybe I'll get lucky.
Open to any ideas at all. Thanks in advance.

sending unit bad? gives an inaccurate indication?
How does the gauge look when you fill it up completely and how much fuel does go in?

Gauge goes to full when fill it up.
Yesterday it died at half tank when coming to a stop. Went to gas station put in 10.596 gallons and had got 190.7 miles out of it. So should have been 7-8 more gallons or so in the tank when it died. Probably not perfectly accurate, it is a Chevy and S10 series on top of ot, they aren't known for complete accurate. Or at least I've never had one. Lol
but with 7 gallons left, it should run on that.
Fuel filter did not fix it.
It's going in the shop this week.

Update:
It was the fuel pump.
luckily I took it back to the shop that put it in for me and it was barely still covered under warranty but still covered.

Glad you got that figured and even better replaced under warranty.
