Tank drop

[Hondazz]

Why do you have to drop the tank on a 90 accord to replace the fuel pump.

Because the fuel pump is not accessible any other way. The pump is inside the tank. The access port is on the drivers side top of the tank. You have to remove the tank to access the bolts to remove this unit.

Is it just the 90-91 or are all the CB7's on the drivers side. I am looking at doing this on my 92 soon and i was just curious...

All cb7s. You're going to want to invest in a manual.

Guess I'm cutting a hole in my drivers side so I won't need to drop the tank.

I wouldn't recommend cutting or creating sparks of any kind around the gas tank for obvious reasons.

This guy makes it look easy, with no jackstands at that. Im glad I don't have to do it right away but it doesn't look all that hard. If nothing breaks lol

^This. A million times, this.

Even if you empty the tank, the vapors are what will explode.



Just drop the tank. It really isn't that hard, especially if you're not in an area with rust problems. Replace all the mounting hardware with new, and it'll be cake to reinstall.

Got mine done today thanks to this thread. Thanks Joey GTR for posting the links.







Made my hole a little bigger for easier access. Used the original cutout to extend the cap

yup i used this video as reference worked well for me,a 10mm,14mm,hose clamps pliers,some screwdrivers,a jack,jakstands,peice of wood,i had it dropped in like 2 hrs,mostly being the tank was half full,prolly 30-45 minutes of actually dropping tank when fuel was out of it,easy now that ive done it.....good luck

I had to do mine a couple years ago but it was pretty low on fuel anyways... worked out for that. it only took me about an hour and i had it done and havent had a problem since.

I use a hammer and a punch off to the side to get a hole started then I use tin snips to cut the hole out.

I don't like the idea of sparks and gasoline either. I knew a guy who burned down his house doing that in his garage. Ended up damn near killing one of his sons by smoke inhalation.

I would like a access hole to change the fuel pump. When I do this my plan is to drop the tank and then cut the hole.

I have had too many replacement parts go bad and I don't want to drop the tank 5 days after I change the pump and fill the tank back up
