Fuel Pump Replacement Instructions

Model: Hyundai Sonata - Years 2004-2014
Part: Pump

If the engine does not start, one probable cause is that fuel is not reaching the engine due to a failure in the low-pressure pump submerged in the tank, which also integrates the float. It is possible to replace just the pump, but it is necessary to remove the entire assembly with the float, located at the front of the boot, just behind the backrest of the passenger seat. Once the cover is removed and the connectors and pipes are disconnected, unscrew the pump retaining ring to extract it and proceed with the replacement of the pump element.
