Additional notes: During the removal and installation process, ensure there are no open flames or sparks nearby. When installing, there are two very small oil drain holes on both sides of the center of the fuel pump base; avoid oil dripping. Since the fuel pump is immersed in gasoline for a long time, the sealing rings are prone to aging. When installing the fuel pump, be sure to check whether the sealing rings on the inlet and outlet pipes are aged or worn, and ensure they are properly installed.
About removing the Honda Fit fuel pump, I've done it myself before. Beginners, don't be reckless. Remember to let the car cool completely for at least an hour first, otherwise the hot oil bubbling is too dangerous. Then turn off the engine and disconnect the battery negative terminal to prevent sparks from causing ignition. The Fit's fuel pump is usually under the rear seat—you'll need to lift the rear seat cushion to expose the fuel tank cover plate. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the cover plate bolts, and be careful not to yank the wiring connectors randomly—take note of the connection order or take photos first. The pump module itself has a sealing ring; if it gets damaged, it might leak oil. Wear gloves throughout the operation and use decent tools. After removal, check the pump body for cracks, and when reinstalling, make sure the seal is properly in place. Read the repair manual multiple times before starting—it can save a lot of trouble.
