Detailed Description

Autobest F8916 is built for fuel lift pump service on a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC C/K trucks, Suburban models, and commercial vans. The external mounting style, single outlet, and wire-terminal connection make it a direct service part for the listed applications, while the FKM seal material and sliding vane construction support consistent fuel transfer in demanding fuel-system layouts. This part cross-references Delphi HFP905 and US Motor Works USEP8012SP for the same application.

The F8916 part number is useful when sourcing a replacement fuel lift pump for Chevrolet C1500 and GMC K2500 applications, as well as other listed truck and van fitments. If you are replacing an aging lift pump on a Chevrolet C3500 or GMC C3500HD, confirm the vehicle listing, electrical connection, and external pump configuration before installation.

Installation Notes

Verify that the vehicle uses an external 12V fuel lift pump with the listed terminal style before installation. Check the fuel line routing, electrical connector condition, and mounting location against the original unit. The included wire harness should be matched to the vehicle’s wiring layout, and the pump should be installed only in applications that correspond to the fitment data.
