MyVetteDream, Thanks again for posting and my apologies if I steered your post off course.

In one of my replies above, I said I would pass along any links to the model year 2003 fuel system redesign should I run across them. For those interested, I just ran across this one:
Late Model Year 2003 Corvette and Cadillac XLR Fuel System Redesign
Again Dave, sorry to have disrupted your thread.

....interesting...and shocking...
Although the fuel pump is cooled by the fuel...
...I was under the impression that it was not only cooled being submerged in fuel but also that the flow of fuel was a coolant as well...
if not...I will keep StuzVette topped off from now on...
thanks for the info Dave...and I can understand on days like weve been having why you wouldnt want to live here...
...so visit any time

Hmmm. I've had 4 C5s (see sig) all daily drivers in TX and I always let the fuel go until I see the Reserve Fuel warning and have never had a problem with the fuel pump. So what am I doing different?

I ask you, how hard is it to find a MY Coupe among 50+ Vettes that are all AE Red?

Actually it was a 1982 MY used in 1981 first.
There were no 1983 cars sold. There is one on display in The NCM at Bowling Green, KY
BTW 11th birthday celebration at The NCM this labor day
