Sparta PN5008 Fuel Lift Pump

Fuel Lift Pump for Diesel Applications

The Sparta PN5008 fuel lift pump is an electric 12-volt external pump built for diesel fuel delivery on higher-mileage and earlier model vehicles. Distributed by Delphi, this unit is aimed at OE-style fit and performance for applications such as the Chevrolet Express 2500, Chevrolet Express 3500, GMC Savana 2500, and GMC Savana 3500.

With threaded M16 x 1.5 inlet and outlet connections, a 2-terminal pin design, and a 28.0 average flow rating, the PN5008 is specified for diesel systems that require steady low-pressure fuel supply. The Sparta PN5008 is a direct replacement option for select Chevrolet and GMC trucks, vans, and utility models.

Detailed Description

Sparta PN5008 is a diesel fuel lift pump engineered for external mounting and steady fuel transfer in older and higher-mileage vehicles. It uses female threaded inlet and outlet ports, a female terminal configuration, and a 2-port layout for straightforward integration into the fuel delivery system. This part number is commonly referenced for Chevrolet Express 2500, Chevrolet Express 3500, GMC Savana 2500, and GMC Savana 3500 diesel applications, along with related Chevrolet and GMC truck and van platforms from 1999 through 2002.

What It Helps Address

• Low fuel supply pressure in diesel lift pump circuits
• Hard starting caused by weak fuel delivery
• Fuel starvation under load or during extended operation
• Intermittent pump performance from aging electrical components
• Replacement needs on select Chevrolet and GMC diesel vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s diesel fuel system configuration before installation. The PN5008 uses threaded M16 x 1.5 inlet and outlet connections, a female terminal layout, and an external mounting style, so matching the existing plumbing and electrical connector is important. The pump is supplied with an instruction sheet; gasket or seal and strainer are not included.
