x2.

The short 'pick-up hoses' that are submerged were deteriorated on mine so it was hit & miss on consistent fuel delivery (the driver side hose was split). Replace them w/new hose that is submersible rated for ethanol fuels.

I swapped in new pumps while doing the work as a preventative measure too. That backfired on me as one of the new ac delco pumps already died (approx 6months old).
