Thank you! This saved me a bunch of money. I just bought a new fuel pump from amazon (pre-assembled in the plastic housing like the one in this video) and was able to get my car up and running in under an hour by following your steps. I was able to skip the glove box part and had no issues.
Finally a viedeo that shows you how to correctly replace the fuel pump as some of the others I've seen could allow someone to break half the components or set your car on fire!
This video is perfect. It visually walks you through every step instead of just verbally for parts of it while assuming you know what they are talking about. Thank you!
Pressure can also be released by removing gas cap. Weird that the relay is necessary in the video.
Thank you for this video. It was the best i seen help me out
Glad it helped!
Great quality
better to see it done, ihave yalls manual
What tools and measurements are being used in this video
My fuel pump won't stay down, it pops back up. This makes it almost impossible to get the lock ring on properly. Do I need a tool for installation because of this?
Is this the same for 2013 civic?
Can anyone help me I need to install a fuel tank pressure sensor on a 2005 Honda civic ex 1.7l but I don’t know where is located
Excellent video guys! Just got my Hanes repair manual for my 1998 ek hatch and 2004 civic si. Next will be for my 1993 toyota pickup extended cab 4x4 v6. Btw her voice is like Mia Melano so sexy.
Why can't you just remove the 15amp fuse, instead of the relay, then crank engine to relieve fuel pressure? I have seen that in other videos. Much easier than getting relay behind glove box out.
I am assuming to relief the pressure instead on working more pressure in the lines
That’s what I was wondering 🤔
Wait can someone answer a quick question, sorry if I sound dumb but is the engine on while we’re doing this?
If your are not dead by now, yes engine off
@@shaggie- 😂😂😂
What bolt size the is cushion retainer bolt? @2:43???
10mm from what I recall.
@@alexgil8984 thanks
There is no need to empty (siphoned) the gas tank?
Yes, you’ll want to perform this procedure with the tank at least half-empty. Since the procedure does not require the fuel tank to be removed, it’s not as crucial to drain the tank but still important. Siphoning kits are available at auto parts stores and can be done just before the pump module is lifted out of tank. Never siphon by mouth, and drain into a fuel safe container.
Thanks for the reply. No, you can not siphon the gas tank using siphoning pump, since there is a ball valve preventing it....I learned it the hard way after buying the siphoning pump which actually have a picture showing the tube in the gas tank, siphoning....the air, I guess.
@@IThinksooo is the ball valve in the neck of the gas tank? I think they were referring to siphoning out of the tank directly while it is open from the top. I could be mistaken though
@@SlabSnipez It was a safety concern in case of any spark during the beginning procedure of removing the fuel pump from the top housing. I thought it be safer first to remove the gas from the "fuel cap" area.
Where did you purchase the fuel pump at thank you
Hi Andy, I just bought one on amazon (pre-assembled with the plastic housing as shown in this video), and was able to plug and play no problem!
I’m
There is no need to disconnect the fuel pump relay I have no idea why they make you tear apart your glove box to get to a relay when you disconnect the pump before you pull it out of the tank anyway.
There is pressure in the fuel system and it will spray out of the hose on the pump sometimes when you take it off.
@@SlabSnipez disconnecting a relay does nothing to the pressure in the system, the relay literally goes to the fuel pump that you unplugged, and if you are scared of the little bit of gas leaking out from the back pressure you have clearly never worked in a real shop. No one would ever take the the time to get to that relay to vent the extra pressure over just getting an empty washer fluid jug and letting the hose drip into that. On top of that the relay still doesn’t relieve backed pressure and it’s the same as disconnecting it from the pump you have just wasted everyone’s time and are blatantly wrong.
@@mikahonigmann lmao I’ve never worked in a shop yet you don’t realize is that with a lot of these pumps you don’t have the room to catch from the 2” hose that’s under the back seat. And disconnecting the relay, then doing what the video says “START THE ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO STALL” will relieve all the pressure in the system, which can be upwards of 40+ psi.
@@SlabSnipez the excess pressure just doesn’t matter even if you can’t catch it it’s not enough fuel to be a concern, gas leaks all the time we have to pull cars in with leaching fuel rails spewing fuel, it’s just extra work. I have pulled fuel pumps out of a lot of cars and have NEVER had any problem with excess pressure or fuel. Still my point about pulling the relay under the dash remains it’s pointless
@@mikahonigmann ok good luck
