The fuel pump on a Volkswagen Transporter T5 is located inside the fuel tank. To access it, lift the van using a jack to gain access to the tank.

Once the vehicle is safely raised, remove the fuel tank to reach the fuel pump inside. This usually involves removing screws or brackets that hold the tank in place.

Once the tank is removed, the fuel pump will be visible. Access the fuel pump by removing the retaining ring that holds it in position.

Pay attention to details during removal and keep track of all parts and screws to facilitate reassembly. Once the fuel pump is removed, proceed with any necessary repairs or replacements.

During reassembly, ensure the fuel pump is installed correctly and tighten the retaining ring securely to prevent fuel leaks. Finally, refit the fuel tank and lower the vehicle from the jack.
