How to Replace Fuel Pump & Gas Tank (88-91 Civic/CRX)

[@madoda64]

FRIKIN AWESOME VIDEO!!! Clear instruction, good picture quality and NO SILLY STUPID loud music. You rock bud. Pls keep em coming.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thank you!

[@granersgarage991]

This helped me tremendously. Just swapped out my fuel pump on my 91 DX hatch I'm restoring. The tip on the fuel strainer was a life saver!

[@dwang79]

You know how to make vids. Simple, to the point, simple terminology, explain orientation. Could almost do the work with audio only! Great job! Thank you. I liked and subscribed

[@Salamon.Vatore]

Recently got a 91 dx from a one owner 80 year old lady. It only has 150k kms. Grateful for your channel and all the walkthroughs!!! Thanks a million! Wish I lived in Texas so I could bring it to you!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

That's awesome, wish the same. It's always fun working on someone's car!

Garage Built Hondas dang man I’m all the way in San Marcos lol it’d be pretty cool to take a CRX out there and work on it with you I don’t much about repairing cars but I found a beautiful crx that needs a new fuel pump and tank that I have my eye on I just need a little more money and she’ll be mine 🤤😻

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Awesome! I have a buddy in San Antonio that has a b16 crx. Maybe if you get this one you can link up with him. He knows quite a bit

[@dizdewd777]

You make it look easy, took me 5 hours just for the fuel pump. And hear shield was a pain.

Wow. I never knew how different the wagons were from the other models lol. Everything is accessible from inside the car in my wagovan. Extremely helpful video though

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I wasn't aware of that on wagons. Thought all 4th gen civics had no access to the fuel pump from the rear interior, good to know.

[@joshpeterson1999]

Hunter, could you confirm what year wagon you have? I need to replace my fuel pump in my 89 wagovan, and I was also under the impression that you needed to drop the tank. Could you access the fuel pump from under the seat?? Thanks!!

[@jaesalgado9787]

Quick question how exactly do you wore the fuel pump up just dont want to kess up and have to drop the tank again. Thanks in advance.

[@pandaef]

this would have been helpful about 3 weeks ago when I put that exact same fuel pump in my 91 crx haha! good video man

haha yeah got it on lockdown

[@jamesallen9422]

Huge fan of this tear down and it helped me last year with getting my Y49 to run again! I'm currently running issues with putting the Filler Neck Hose back on, and I found the part(17651-SH3-000)0 is discontinued so I'm having to use a universal fuel hose and cut it to size, but I'm still worried it's going to kink a little. I think my next step is to completely drop the tank again and place the hose onto the tank and then left it back up and place it on the Filler Neck Pipe second. Awesome Channel!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks James. There isn't much bend to that hose so I think you'll be ok with a universal one. As it's on there, it'll slowly conform anyway as long as you don't leave too much slack for it to bind.

[@024runner]

Garage Built Hondas I’ve loosened the clamp around the filler hose but it’s not budging. Any tricks?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Spray it down with a lubricant and use different sets of pliers

[@DE_Razor_Shaving]

You made that look a lot easier than it is. Loll. I just changed my fuel pump in my 91 REX Si. Filler neck hose and putting the tank back in the front clip was a bitch! Thank you for your video tho. Helped me out. 👍🏼

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

It really is for the first time. I guarantee it gets easier every time. Now I'm a pro after doing at least 10 since this video came out. 👍

[@Keyorisho]

I just want to point something out that may help someone in the future, as this happened to me. I followed this video step by step and other various fourms to install my new 255lph fuel pump into my ef hatch, and after everything was set up and ready to go, the car wouldnt start. Doubting my mechanical skills i took everything apart again but still everything looked fine, at a complete loss and after hours of searching I came across a couple "no-start" main relay fixes, swapped the relay from my doner car and what do you know? Starts on a dime, what are the chances? Anyways, great informational video, a definite thumbs up from this guy!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks so much for the input! It's great to hear what fixes other peoples problems. I can't tell you how many times I've done double work similar to you only to find it be something so simple! Were you shaking your head at how easy it was to get to and replace/repair the MFR?

[@Keyorisho]

Garage Built Hondas 100%! although funny enough after I got it started and ran it for a bit I lifted the tank back up and tightened everything, all ready to go and what do you know? No start! 😂 im even more stumped now, multi-metered the relay and everything checks out, checked all wires and even tried the bypass wire in the harness and nothing! Such a pain this civy of mine 😫

Those chunks of rubber mostly prevent noise. I use a couple where it rubs, but if it's mounted tighly it won't move around much.

[@annpayton]

This is most insightful! I have a 2001 honda civic coupe, and after getting my map sensor and 02 sensors installed, I still kept smelling gas fart. Also I think that my front passenger side tire rim is bent or something...the car pulls to the right (whatever). Anyway, after watching this vid, I think I'll just buy another car and put my civic in the backyard until further notice. Thanks dude!! ★★★★

Great to hear! Glad it helped you get it done! Gotta keep them on the roads!

[@rebeccavaldez5607]

Also if the fuel tank padding isn't salvageable here is a cool trick order some extreme sound dynamic padding from summit or jegs or cruchfield with self adhesive backing and cut to fit where needed.....it worked great for me and very inexpensive....part 2

[@rdf1238]

Thanks! You are a CRX pioneer. I'm waiting for that fuel pump to come today through Amazon Prime. Meanwhile, getting the fuel out of the tank is nasty. I tried to go old school and syphon it out with a hose and me sucking on the other end. Ended up with a moth full of gas ( I didn't swallow). headed Auto Zone for a Fuel syphon pump. Thanks again.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

You're welcome, glad this helped!

[@rdf1238]

Update, It wasn't my fuel pump. It was the ECU fuse and ECU. I have a bad ECU so it wouldn't prime my fuel pump. Nonetheless, I don't have to worry about the fuel pump.

[@B.E.R.T.]

Attempted this today, but had to stop due to rain. Tomorrow is clear weather. Unfortunately my pump went out right after I filled up. So after cracking that 14 line nut 🔩 I had fuel leaking. (Which I figured would happen) tried to siphon the gas from the gas filler, but feels like my siphon line is bottoming out before it makes it to the fuel. Anyways, I'll just have to pull the drain plug tomorrow... Great video man!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Good luck, the tank is so heavy with a lot of gas in it too. I'd tried to drain it too, but save as much as possible.

[@B.E.R.T.]

@@GarageBuiltHondas the weather cleared up so I pulled the sending unit out and siphoned the gas into two 5gallon plastic tanks. It got dark, so tomorrow I'll be finishing her up!

[@B.E.R.T.]

@@GarageBuiltHondas completed the job just now and filled about 5 gallons back into the tank (via gas cap/filler) connected everything back up. I hear the 2 clicks from the main relay which is good... Right? At the same time I hear the fuel pump prime... I cranked it about 5 times. (Holding for 5 to 10 sec each time) and no start. Should I put the other 5 gallons in the tank? Maybe through the sending unit opening? How quick should it start up after replacing what you did in the video? Guess I'll check the manual to see if I'm fuel to the fuel rail. Thanks again for all your help and the time you take to make these videos. I appreciate it.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

The extra gas won't help unless your fuel pump filter isn't sitting right. I'd do what you mentioned.

[@B.E.R.T.]

@@GarageBuiltHondas UPDATE::: I committed the ultimate sin of not checking for Fuel, air, spark, combustion FIRST. After replacing the fuel tank, fuel pump, distributor, and main relay I still didn't have spark. I went to test the coil at the dizzy, noticed the rotor wasn't spinning... I knew what time it was. Busted timing belt. Smh... All I can do now is pray to the honda Gods that the valves aren't bent. Sourcing parts for this JDM D15B 3 stage vtec is always fun... anyways, lesson learned. Basics first. Time to wrench and pray.

Yes, best videos I have come across. Q: I have a stuck, stubborn 14mm fuel line flare, and I even have the line wrench. WD40 and 1 hour soak no good--any help?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Cut off the fitting and just use regular hose from now on. I did this on my maroon crx.

[@DavidParker-cf2km]

It's enough to say run the gasoline out to lighten the tank. You could point out that gasoline weighs about six pounds per gallon, so five gallons in the tank weighs a little over 30 pounds and ten gallons in the tank a little over 60 pounds and full is about 90 pounds. "Kilmat 80 mil" from Amazon is the vibration dampener to glue onto the tank. It comes in packs of 12" x 18" pieces which can be cut to any lesser size. Way too much talk about the vibration dampener pads on the tank. You already said it was the level sensor. NEVER use crimp connectors! They will always corrode and fail to conduct. Solder and insulate with several layers of heat shrink.

Exactly the same, probably not 100%. But probably very similar. There may be a few different lines by now, I've never changed one on that kind of car. Good luck

[@customcruiserroy]

Cool video. I cam here because I have an issue with my 1991 CRX SI. It has happened twice, a few days apart. Both times, I parked the car for a few minutes. First time, I stopped at a gas station. I shut off car and put in full tank. Then I got into car. It started and stalled. I cranked it again. It started and then stalled. Third time, it started and I was good for the rest of the day. Now, today, I drove 40 miles, parked car and went into store. Slight incline. I started car. It started then, died. It started then died. It started and I got it home. I stopped the car at the house. Then, I started it and no problem. It's been sitting for 30 minutes now. I went out and started it three times, each time being ok. Ideas? Maybe fuel pump going out?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Any idea why fuel would over flow through the gas cap/near the filler neck? Gas cap is fine, tried aftermarket and brand new OEM cap, still does same thing. Tank holds pressure for very long time if that means anything. Happens when tank is full/somewhat full and park the car. I’ll come back out and see fuel dripping out near the top of the filler neck/where the cap is. Smells like gas inside the car as well. Been happening for a while, so tired of this shit.

Yes, you can see them traveling alongside the driver floor board close to the door.

[@itzpat215]

I have a crx dx 1991. Whenever I fill up gas to full tank and turn off the car, the gas starts leaking out of the filler neck. Is this filler neck on my crx loose or broken whenever i fill up gas to full tank and it overfills out? Usually on all cars the gas wont spray out of the filler neck when im pumping to full. Could it be i need a new filler neck which is hard to find for my crx?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Check the vent hose that goes into the engine bay. It's usually red. When that's clogged this can happen. There's also a valve on the tank itself which can be accessed without dropping the tank. Those vents are what prevent the problem your encountering from happening.

I do not recall man, is it not in the video?

[@l1t3beasty66]

do you know if there is an exact name for the purge unit on the fuel tank, if that makes 0 sense you talk about it at 6:44 mine broke

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

This thing? www.ebay.com/itm/176627168779?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lRy9I5X2RIu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=927yPDFeSi-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Do you have to remove the gas tank just to change the fuel pump?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Dsm_Kenny Unfortunately yes on these cars.

[@ericsanchez3566]

Bro u can probably save me big time so i have a 1995 integra and in the middle of my seats i see the fuel pump but it gots no arm level so my friend told me i have to drop the tank because the sender unit level is there is it true because my gas gauge dont work? Please let me know

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

He is correct. Buy him a beer.

[@ericsanchez3566]

Dam really thanks bro really means alot , is it hard to replace and how much is it?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Not if you're mechanically inclined. If you never touched a tool, it'll take a little longer. No idea on price, you'll have to look.

[@ericsanchez3566]

Garage Built Hondas oh ok so do i need to buy the whole sender unit right or only the arm?

[@ericsanchez3566]

Garage Built Hondas so i checked and i cant find any for integras 1995 but i saw a 1995 civic that looks like yours would it fit on mines or they arent the same?

[@Mista808]

Could you perhaps provide me part numbers for the right Fuel Pump for my 90 SI EF Hatch? I have the D16A6 motor and like you described, my hatch has the same issue with acting as though it has no gas when the gas gauge still shows about half way full. It's been driving me crazy for almost a year and I'm wanting to make sure all the part information I purchase is correct before taking it to a shop. I've had a feeling it was the fuel pump for several months now that were causing the idle issues, and sometimes having issues starting on hot/cold days, and bogging at higher speeds.. but yesterday was the first time the fuel pump starting whining which made me ready to get everything needed to replace. Would love to do the whole gas tank as well. Thanks in advance! Video was helpful

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I don't have the part # for the pump. Where do you want to buy your pump from?

[@Mista808]

Garage Built Hondas no preference I just know my car is having the exact same issue as what you described with the tank acting like it is completely empty even though there is almost a half tank

[@johnda9keefer204]

What happened with the b20b swap? Did u get another motor?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I'll have the "part 2" of the b20 install up in a day or two!! 👍🏻

[@johnda9keefer204]

+Jon Widmer hellz ya. Can't wait your videos are awesome bro!!

[@gemini232007]

Hello, can't seem remove the 14mm gas tank line on my 91 honda crx its really rusted. Any other trick to remove it. Thanks

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Not really. Spray some lubricant on it and let it soak for a while. Then use an extension and a small hammer and tap on it gently to help possibly free somr of the rust and corrosion which is holding it stuck. Just try to not strip it. Are you using a line wrench?

[@gemini232007]

Hello thank for getting back at me, yes i sprayed and let it soaked and even bought the 14mm line wrench and no luck. Im giving up don't know what else to do.

[@luisjaramillo6070]

hey man great vid! I have a quick question and hope you can help. I started my car(1991 hatch) early in the morning and it iddled for like 5 sec and it stalled and just wont turn on again. I no longer hear the fuel pump buzz when i switch the key is it the fuel pump for sure? need the help and appreciate your video man

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

It kind of sounds like it. You may also want to try to Main Fuel Relay first. It's located under the dash on the far left driver side right above the hood release.

[@luisjaramillo6070]

Jon Widmer okay man thankyou

[@bobbydelamar606]

I think I'm about to do this on my 89 CRX I just bought. It won't start, it's been sitting for 6 years. I don't hear the fuel pump come on and I don't have spark. Where did you get the pump and sending unit?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

From eBay. I didn't replacing the sending unit though. I re-used my old one.

[@bobbydelamar606]

Garage Built Hondas Thank you. Love the video. My sending unit does work, I have a half a tank of gas!!

[@steelontarget]

Do you have any videos on how to remove and clean or replace DPFI injectors? I have a 89 DX Sedan that has been sitting a while and want to clean or change injectors.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I do not. Personally I would remove them and take them to a local injector shop or shipped to a shop and have them professionally cleaned and flow balanced.

[@zulazmi23]

What is the part number for the walbro did u put? Since u using the original fuel pump assembly

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

[@posluzevalc]

where could i get new gas tank i guess amazon doesent sell it any more if anybody know where to buy one i would bi well apriciated thx david from europ

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I'd keep searching around online everywhere. If you have local parts stores, give them a call. We can buy them locally usually also

[@astro412]

Just wanted to ask i replaced my fuel pump on my 91 crx i have the same model fuel pump that you have but im getting little to no fuel up at the filter just little drops would that be the lines or maybe i did something wrong ?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Check the filter sock. It might be pressed up against the tank.

[@Hmata95]

Hello I was wondering if the civic wagons use a different fuel sending unit compared to sedan or hatchback thank you. Also would you advice getting one from the junkyard?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

My guess I the they are the same, along with the fuel pump. A junkyard one might work just fine. I'd use it if it's inexperienced because those are easy to change. No dropping of the tank is required.

[@loganberinger1142]

Wht are the fuel lines that go to the engine bay from the tank?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

The feed and return lines.

[@piotrstasik1015]

2:50 are you pushing the key 14 forward (down) or pulling it backwards (toward yourself-up). I don't know which way to turn the key 14. this moment is missing from the video.

[@HmongGuyTV]

Planning to just replace the sending unit soon on my Wagon. Where did you buy the new gaskets and retaining clip? Thanks again for the video!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I re-used all the parts off of my old gas tank. If you want new parts, you could try hondapartsunlimited.com. That's my favorite oem parts store.

[@HmongGuyTV]

Jon Widmer thank you! I've been referring other folks to your channel keep up the great vids!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Awesome Peter, thanks, I appreciate the support!

[@Dubst3pT3ch]

Where did you get your fuel tank? None of my regular parts suppliers have them. Also is it possible to shift the tank over a tiny bit? My new exhaust hits my gas tank on the front right corner the sound is irritating at cruising speed.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I bought it off of eBay. It was around $90 shipped from a seller in Phoenix. Someone posted in a comment below that he doesn't sell them anymore though but that was a while back. There really isn't any room to shift it over. It kind of fits in one spot. You might get away with like 1/2" possibly.

[@DillanCarter1306]

Anyone know why my 88 EF sedan only has 3 wires and not 4? I can't seem to find the whole assembly with 3 wires because they are all 4 plug. The pump hanger I bought said it would work but wouldn't even fit in my tank. Please help... thanks.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

The 88s are a little different. The ground wire comes fire off it and goes to the body of the car on the 88s.

[@JJenesuispasfrancais]

Would you have to drop the tank out in order to replace the straps? I had a tank strap break while driving today and it scared the crap out of me

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

No
