What You'll Learn
GMC Yukon fuel pump replacement
To replace the fuel pump in your GMC Yukon, you will need to start by disconnecting the cable from the negative side of the battery and releasing the pressure in the fuel system. Next, remove the fuel tank and disconnect both the evaporative (EVAP) vent line and fuel tank vent line fitting, as well as the two quick-connect fittings on the fuel supply line from the mounting flange of the fuel pump/fuel level sensor. With water pump pliers, carefully rotate off the lock ring of the fuel pump/fuel level sensor, being careful not to damage the float arm and float of the fuel level.
You can then install the new fuel pump, following the manufacturer's instructions. Once the new fuel pump is installed, reconnect the battery and reinstall the fuel pump fuse. Turn the vehicle's ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine to pressurize the system and check for leaks. If no leaks are detected, start the vehicle and do a final check for leaks while the engine is running.
It is important to use quality fuel lines and parts when replacing the fuel pump in your GMC Yukon. LinesToGo offers fuel lines that are pre-bent to match the shape of the original fuel line and are made from 304L stainless steel or Galfan® coated steel, meeting or exceeding OE specifications and quality.

GMC Yukon fuel lines installation
To install fuel lines in a GMC Yukon, you will first need to locate and remove the fuse or relay for the fuel pump. Then, try starting the truck. If it won't start or shuts off after a few seconds, you've depressurised the fuel lines. Disconnect the battery by removing the negative battery cable. Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
Locate the existing fuel lines and fuel line connectors. Place a bucket or drain pan under the fuel line before disconnecting it. Then, using the appropriate wrench or fuel line disconnect tool, loosen the fittings and remove any clamps or brackets securing the fuel lines to the vehicle's frame.
Once you've confirmed everything matches up, install the new fuel lines and tighten the clamps and connectors. Reconnect the battery, reinstall the fuel pump fuse, and turn the vehicle's ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine. This will pressurise the system, allowing you to check for leaks. If no leaks are detected with the fuel system pressurised, start the vehicle and do a final check for leaks while running.
LinesToGo has quality fuel lines for the GMC Yukon. Each line is pre-bent, using CNC precision bending to ensure they match the shape of the original fuel line. They are made from 304L stainless steel or Galfan® coated steel and meet or exceed OE specifications and quality.

GMC Yukon fuel pump removal
To remove the fuel pump from a GMC Yukon, first disconnect the cable from the negative side of the battery to reduce the chance of a fire. Then, release the pressure in the fuel system. If the pump is inside the fuel tank, there will be an access cover that needs to be removed. With the cover off, the technician can replace the pump and pre-pump filter screen. In some cases, fuel will need to be drained before removing the access panel.
If the pump is outside the tank, disconnect the fuel lines, remove the pump and install the new one. If there is no access panel, the fuel will first need to be drained from the tank and then the fuel tank must be lowered from the vehicle to gain access to the pump.
To remove the fuel pump/fuel level sending unit module, you will also need to remove the fuel tank, then disconnect both evaporative (EVAP) vent line and fuel tank vent line fitting as well as two quick-connect fittings on the fuel supply line from the mounting flange of the fuel pump/fuel level sensor. With water pump pliers, rotate off a lock ring of a fuel pump/fuel level sensor using care not to damage a float arm and a float of a fuel level.
Before disconnecting the fuel line, place a bucket or drain pan under the fuel line. Then, using the appropriate wrench or fuel line disconnect tool, loosen the fittings and remove any clamps or brackets securing the fuel lines to the vehicle's frame.

GMC Yukon fuel pump troubleshooting
If you're experiencing problems with your GMC Yukon's fuel pump, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue.
Firstly, check for any signs of wear and tear on the fuel pump. Common signs of a worn-out fuel pump include jolting after acceleration and sudden increases in fuel consumption. If you suspect the fuel pump may be faulty, you can try testing it by checking the fuse, voltage, and ground at the fuel pump connector. The grey wire indicates voltage, while the black wire is the ground. If you have good voltage and ground but no pump action, it's likely that the fuel pump itself is faulty and may need to be replaced.
If you need to remove the fuel pump for further inspection or replacement, here are the steps you can follow:
- Disconnect the cable from the negative side of the battery to release the pressure in the fuel system.
- Remove the fuel tank and disconnect the evaporative (EVAP) vent line and fuel tank vent line fitting, as well as the two quick-connect fittings on the fuel supply line from the mounting flange of the fuel pump/fuel level sensor.
- Using water pump pliers, carefully rotate off the lock ring of the fuel pump/fuel level sensor, being careful not to damage the float arm and float of the fuel level sensor.
It's important to note that working on fuel systems can be dangerous, so if you're unsure or uncomfortable with any of these steps, it's best to consult a qualified mechanic or seek professional assistance.
Additionally, when replacing the fuel pump or fuel lines, it's crucial to use high-quality parts that meet or exceed OE specifications. This ensures optimal performance, fuel economy, and safety for your GMC Yukon.
