Ok im a newbie when it comes to cameros. Ok I just bought a 1984 Z28 and my question is this.. my fuel pump is leaking out of the weep hole and what i want to know is this is there any way to fix this cheap? can i plug the hole or rebuild it or do i just have to replace it,. sorry this may not seem like a big deal to most but when your girl is pregnat and you have only one car its kinda big.. so any help would be muuuuuuuuuch apprecated. thanks.. i not rich so any cheap solution for the time being would help. thanks carmello

 

Replace the pump. Plugging the hole risks forcing the fuel into the oil pan. That could cost you an engine as opposed to a $14.99 fuel pump.

Speaking of expenses, at around $2.80/gallon for fuel, you'd probably leak more $$$ than the cost of a pump in a week.

 

And by "Replace the pump" I should have clarified that you should make absolutely certain "your girl" is not in the area when you change it out. Gasoline contains heptane, benzene, and some other "nasties" which will not be filtered by the placenta. Inhalation is all that it takes to get it into the bloodstream. You don't want to have an otherwise inexplicably brain-damaged fetus. There are already too many Honda drivers out there, and you only get one chance at getting it right.

Good luck on both projects.

 

 

My 82 Camaro had the same problem. Fortunately those fuel pumps are cheap and easy to get at and replace. It should be a 10 minute job, but don't forget the gasket and silicone. Good luck.
