C6 Fuel Pump
I have a 2010 GS, 6 SP.
Was told all C6, LS3 @ 2008> come with a Z06 fuel pump...
True or False?
Looking through my 2010 Corvette (Helms) factory shop manual, it shows what looks like an electric fuel pump in both the left and right fuel cells.
Can anyone confirm this or provide some expertise/insight?
Respectfully,
David

FALSE
The Z06 pump is indeed the REPLACEMENT pump listed at the parts counter but your car was built with the standard LS3 pump. This myth has been out there for a while now and has proven to be wrong time and time again.
The passenger side pump is a venturi driven pump. It works off the fuel pressure from the electric pump in the driver's side tank.
If you are interested in learning more about the C6 fuel system here are a couple of links full of details...
