How to remove the fuel pump of Honda CRV?
2 Answers
Remove the rear seat of the Honda Fit vehicle, and use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the cover plate of the Honda CRV fuel pump. Take off the cover plate of the Honda CRV fuel pump and unplug the connector of the Honda CRV fuel pump. Disconnect the fuel inlet pipe of the Honda Fit, then remove the entire fuel pump of the Honda CRV. Be extremely careful to avoid any open flames or sparks during the process. During installation, note that there are two very small oil drain holes on both sides of the fuel pump base, and no oil should drip from them. Since the fuel pump is immersed in gasoline for a long time, the sealing ring is prone to aging. When installing the fuel pump, check whether the sealing rings on the inlet and outlet pipes are aged or worn.
I remember when removing the fuel pump from a Honda CRV, the key points were safety and tool preparation. First, disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid short-circuit sparks that could cause accidents. Releasing the fuel system pressure is a necessary step—use an adapter to open the pressure relief valve or start the engine a few times to depressurize. Under the rear seat cushion, there's an access panel above the fuel tank; lifting the carpet reveals a round cover. Use a hex key or a specialized fuel pump tool to loosen the retaining ring—apply moderate force to avoid damage. Gently lift the cover, disconnect the wiring harness and fuel line connections—mark their positions for easier reassembly. Check if the sealing ring is intact and clean any debris around the tank opening. Regularly inspecting the fuel tank area for moisture during car washes can prevent fuel pump failure and starting issues. Wearing anti-static gloves throughout the process is safer to prevent accidental ignition from residual gasoline. Before installing the new pump, test the old one to confirm the fault—this can save unnecessary expenses.
