Bad fuel pump on 1997 chevy g20 conversion van. Bare wires (insulation had burn off) the fuel pump which is located inside the fuel tank.

I have the fuel pump at home for examination or inspection.

What 1997 Chevrolet G20 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Besides stranding me when the transmission went out twice, losing power on the interstate in bumper to bumper traffic is hazardous. But twice I nearly crashed when the power steering went out, in a curve on the interstate. The van is a horse to muscle and the sudden loss of steering nearly cost me control of the vehicle. I'm sure if my wife or daughter were driving they would have crashed. I cannot be the only person having chronic problems with the steering and transmissions of 97 chevy vans. Get these vehicles off the road (at least mine) before they kill a bunch of innocent people.
While driving, vehicle would wander side to side and pull to side. Sometimes could flip over. Then, took vehicle to dealer , and they found tread separation. Firestone, firehawk tires. *ak consumer states when vehicle was taken in for regular maintenance it was discovered that all four tires were found to have broken belts and tires were unable to be rotated, balanced or aligned, consumer was advised by mechanic to go to firestone about the tires, when consumer arrived she was told they had too many vehicles to service.
