2005 Nissan Pathfinder Fuel Pump Replacement without Dropping the Tank

Finally completed this project on my spring RV purchase checklist. Getting to the fuel pump was the toughest part.

Hello, did you have to teach the new pump or just turn on the ignition and off you go?

[@hlieb4601]

Getting ready to do mine today. I cut my floor with a Dremel and mini cut off wheel. Where did your pump come from?

[@FritoBoy30]

Closeout on Rock Auto. I have a list of projects and I just go to see what's on sale to determine the next project.

@@FritoBoy30 I was just curious I bought one off eBay good reviews I don't drive it much so I figured save a few bucks now already got the easy access port I can buy a better one and swap it at a later more fiscally improved time lol. Only thing I would add after fighting with it for ten minutes is that the pump has an accordion like effect and it's in.

@@elsantobandito1270 yeah I noticed the same thing when I tried putting the lock back on, I thought for a moment I had ordered the wrong pump.

My guess is Nissan didn't cut a fuel pump access hole out so most people would have to go to Nissan dealer for a 600 to 800 dollar fuel pump job !

Man the traffic there is horrendous!!

[@FritoBoy30]

You get used to it. It's eerie when it snows and there's no traffic

[@philippabaker1078]

THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT! WHAT A BODGE JOB.

[@FritoBoy30]

How would you suggest this repair without dropping the tank?

[@azfersaeed1602]

​​@@FritoBoy30 I think that's exactly what he means... shouldn't cut the metal. This is a hack because you're creating a way for outside elements to come in to the cabin, i.e. possible fuel vapors, water, grime, etc. when you go offroading. But this is "a" way to replace the fuel pump.
