Where is the fuel pump located in the Honda Fit?
2 Answers
Honda Fit's fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank. Its function is to draw gasoline from the fuel tank and deliver it through pipelines and fuel filter to the float chamber of the carburetor. Taking the 2021 Honda Fit as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4109mm, width 1694mm, height 1537mm, with a wheelbase of 2530mm and a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. The 2021 Honda Fit is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 96kW and maximum torque of 155Nm, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. It adopts MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension.
As a Honda Fit owner, I've fixed some minor issues myself and know exactly where the fuel pump is located—inside the fuel tank, specifically under the rear seat. Lift the rear seat cushion, and you'll see a rectangular cover plate. After unscrewing a few bolts and removing the cover, the fuel pump is exposed. Be cautious when replacing the pump; always disconnect the fuel line first to avoid gasoline leakage risks. The pump being submerged in gasoline has its benefits—it naturally cools down, preventing overheating damage. For routine maintenance, I recommend checking the fuel filter every 1-2 years and replacing it if clogged, as debris entering the pump can cause premature failure. The Fit is a durable car, but if the fuel pump fails, the engine may start slowly or stall directly, affecting road safety. DIY repairs can save money, but there are risks like electric shock or fuel splashing, so consulting a professional technician is safer. During regular maintenance, listen to the pump's sound—a slight hum is normal, but any abnormality should be noted.
