At ~138,000 miles, I parked the Blazer after work. When I attempted to start the vehicle to go to the store, the engine cranked but would not run. Attached a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel line in the engine bay and no pressure was being generated. Fuse and relay checked out OK. Removed fuel tank and installed a new fuel pump (~$120 online). Vent valve broke when I lowered the fuel tank, so that required replacing too ($15 at National Auto Parts chain.) Vehicle now starts without issue.
