The fuel pump is located inside the tank: to replace it, you must remove the tank as it is not accessible from inside the cabin like in most cars. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, drain the tank by siphoning the fuel, remove the trim around the filler cap, and lift the vehicle on a ramp to access the mounting brackets.

Disconnect the connector located nearby and the pipe at the mounting pin of the bracket, also disconnect the filter and the supply and return pipes. At this point, place a jack under the tank for support and proceed to remove the brackets; once the tank is removed, disconnect the pipe connected to the flange of the pump and then unscrew the mounting pins of the flange to remove it and extract the pump from the tank.

Finally, insert the new pump and reverse the procedure for installation.
