Where is the fuel pump located in the old CRV?

It is located under the middle row seats. You need to fold the entire middle row seats and lift the carpet to see the fuel pump access port. Here are some detailed introductions about it: 1. Introduction 1: The floating center console is one of the design highlights of the CRV, inherited from the previous generation. The steering wheel is relatively small, consistent with Honda's pursuit of driving control. 2. Introduction 2: The gear lever position saves space on the center console, and the button-style gear shift in hybrid models enhances the technological feel of the CRV. 3. Introduction 3: The traditional power version is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission.
I also drive an older CR-V, and I remember the fuel pump location clearly—it’s tucked inside the fuel tank through a dedicated access point. To be specific, you’ll need to lift the rear seat carpet or the trunk floor panel first. Older CR-Vs usually have a round cover secured with screws; removing them reveals the fuel pump assembly along with the filter. Why is it designed inside the tank? Primarily to keep the pump submerged in gasoline for better cooling and reduced noise. If your car struggles to start or hesitates during acceleration, the pump might be faulty—replacing it typically costs a few hundred bucks. A quick DIY check: listen for a humming sound during startup (normal), silence means trouble. But before any work, ensure the tank is empty and the battery is disconnected—gasoline isn’t a toy, safety first. Lastly, I’d recommend taking it to a trusted repair shop rather than risking it yourself.
