There&rsquo;s another set of procedures for pumps with an under-seat access cover.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When replacing the fuel pump on an older vehicle, don&rsquo;t forget to replace the fuel filter. Older models usually have a separate fuel filter that should be replaced to prevent debris from contaminating the new unit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modern, return-less fuel systems have the filter integrated into the assembly and it will usually come with the new pump.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Fixing your car yourself can create a great sense of accomplishment. On the other hand, a repair job that goes awry can lead to frustration, swearing and bloody knuckles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last time I replaced a fuel pump, I tackled the job outside, on the ground in the middle of a dust storm. Because the fuel tank had to be dropped to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/where-is-the-fuel-pump-located\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"access the pump\">access the pump<\/a>, the process took a couple of hours. Every time the wind kicked up and covered me in dirt, I cursed my old truck and its crummy fuel pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, before you decide to replace your fuel pump yourself, be honest: do you have the patience, tools, space and ability to do the job right? If you&rsquo;re uncertain, it&rsquo;s probably more time and cost effective to have a professional complete the repair. And it will most certainly be safer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you&rsquo;ve got the know-how, you can definitely save money by replacing the pump yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-3140 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/diy-car-repair.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/diy-car-repair.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/diy-car-repair-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/diy-car-repair-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/diy-car-repair-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Before you decide to replace your fuel pump yourself, be honest: do you have the patience, tools, space and ability to do the job right?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fuel Pump Replacement Cost<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing a fuel pump isn&rsquo;t cheap. On modern vehicles, which have an integrated fuel pump assembly, the part itself can cost hundreds of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there&rsquo;s the labor. On some cars (particularly domestics) the fuel tank must be dropped to access the pump, making the job especially time-consuming. Other vehicles (typically imports) have an access cover below the rear seat that makes the job much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because there are so many different factors, the cost of fuel pump replacement varies a great deal. If you have the work done at a professional repair shop, expect to pay anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000 for the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What tools do you need to install a fuel pump?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The tools needed to replace your fuel pump vary, depending on what type of car you have. But, in general, you will need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Safety glasses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A fire extinguisher<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wheel chocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A jack and jack stands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A ratchet, various size sockets and various size wrenches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A set of pliers and\/or a hose clamp removal tool (only required on some vehicles)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A fuel line disconnect tool (only required on some vehicles)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transmission jack or equivalent to support the fuel tank (sometimes a regular jack and block of wood can be substituted)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should you do the job yourself?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing a fuel pump can be difficult &ndash; especially if you&rsquo;ve got a full gas tank. Plus, because fuel is flammable, the task can be dangerous. If you decide to tackle the job yourself, make sure to take the necessary precautions and have a fire extinguisher on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The following is for informational purposes only.

Relieve fuel system pressure following the procedure found in the factory repair information.<br>5. Drain the fuel tank if it has a lot of fuel. Usually, this is done using a hand-operated pump or siphon. If you choose to leave the tank full, it will be a lot heavier and harder to balance.<br>6. Loosen the clamp on the fuel filler neck, then disconnect the neck from the fuel tank.<br>7. Support the fuel tank with a transmission jack or equivalent.<br>8. Remove the fuel tank strap bolts and the straps themselves.<br>9. Lower the tank just enough to access and disconnect the fuel hoses, electrical connections and emissions hoses.<br>10. Once everything is disconnected, lower the tank completely.<br>11. Clean the area around the pump access hole to prevent dirt and debris from entering the tank.<br>12. Remove the retainer ring or bolts securing the pump assembly to the tank.<br>13. Remove the fuel pump and seal ring from the fuel tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
