How to replace, Hyundai i20 Fuel pump and filter.

I was meaning to do this at the 100 000km service of the car but only got chance now it wasn't easy finding a video for this specific car so here you go. I hope this helps someone, it didn't take along at all maybe 30mins. Also I AM NOT A MECHANIC I'm doing this all myself and learning as I go.

Thanks Yusuf. Very helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to film and explain. I had no idea where the filter was on this car.

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

I'm glad it helped you I didnt know where it was either I had to google then I found a picture saw it was on the pump and figured it's in the tank. What a job tho but simple enough.

[@will260007]

@Everette Sevedge lol that's bullshit you are a spammer

[@sredson]

Hi Yusuf, thanks for your quick reply. I found the problem. PneO ring got stuck inside the old filter and I didn’t notice it. Soon as I put the ring back in place it started after 3 pump cycles. Thanks a lot boeta.

So helpful. Thank you

Dankie Yusuf Great vid keep it going going. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hey Yusuf, my car is loosing power everytime I drive it and it's seems to be getting worse cab it be bcz of the fuel pump? Bcz i took it for diagnostic and the engine is fine...

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Could be yes.. also check maybe the injectors are packing up or it could be a spark plug issue it could be a few things. If it is the pump it's simple enough to replace then you can rule the pump out, if it's not the pump you can move on to other things.. its a crap one hope you get it sorted out.👍

[@SheldonTrey]

Howzit yusuf 🇿🇦 after changing the fuel filter did you notice any change in the fuel consumption of the vehicle. I recently bought a 2010 i10 and from everyone I spoke to it seems like my car is heavy on fuel

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Hi, nope no change at all that car (1.4)gets like 7ish ltrs/100kms on average and thats how it was before i had a picanto and i got 6.4ltre/100kms in that car all day long unless i mashed it then it went to 9-10ltrs/100km if you on it all the time these cars can get crazy fuel consumtions it really depends how you drive if you are driving conservatively and still getting 9ish ltrs then something isnt right the 1.2 is very light on fuel i miss that car.

[@indieman6868]

I have a i10 IA (2014), is the fuel pump and filter on the same place?

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Great question yes it should be i had the 1.2 kia picanto and i didnt see an external fuel filter so safe to assume its the same setup on that car.

[@CRONE2]

hi there! What was the difference after changing the filter? You feel something in the first 10-20 kms in the car acceleration?It's worth to change filter?I have this car since 2010 and never change it.Starts ok everytime, but I feel struggle in the accelerations from stops in first gear and vibrations AT IDLE in the whole car even when the engine is warmed up.How can we check the fuel pressure with obd2 torque using (stft) fuel trims?maybe this helps with filter diagnose.Please help!Thanks!

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Ooofff this is way out of my scope now.. but it did make a little different I could feel it in acceleration it wasnt as lax but I asumed the old one was super dirty the car had a hard life in a semi rural area before we got it and our fuel is really bad. I say it doesnt do much to change it but every 100k Km what's the harm helps keep the injectors happy too. The shaky idle could be a few things like engine mountings, coil packs going bad or injectors. Hope you come right there!👍

[@CRONE2]

@@YusufPetersenCPT Ok with that. Whats bother me is at idle. When idle is 680 rpm vibration is low. But when i turn on the lights and rise consumption, all car vibrate and is very disturbing. Maybe the fuel pump consumption current raise more because the clogged filter and reduce pressure to injectors. At 2000rpm no vibe.Torque can help diagnosing stft but i dont find any tips for that.I must diagnose first and after that dismantle the fuel pump system.Any answer is welcome! Thanks!

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Yeah there isnt much of this cars problems online so you will be the one answering this one for us.. maybe it's even like a worn belt pulley or alternator.. it shouldnt be vibrating at all the motors on this car are actually smooth to me not as crazy as the 3 pots around.

[@tunez4moodz34]

Hey Kenwood I have the same issue with mine. It vibrates for no apparent reason while idling

[@CRONE2]

@@tunez4moodz34 Maybe there is no problem if we have no check engine and no electrical issues.I think is something mechanical in the engine. But no chance for us to discover. All we can do is check the spark plug and find some answers. Or listening to the exhaust pipe to hear some signs of misfires. Simple stuff. Even the brake disks or other parts can vibrate because it resonating with engine vibes at specific frequencies and so on. More investigafion is necessary for detecting the real cause.Sometimes when I refuel I feel the engine smooth but other times I feel struggling fo start but nothing else on the dash. Everything ok but more vibration and no power. Last day I check for spark plug and no.2 was wet and the others ok. But spark plugs wires ok. No signs on the dash. Take your conclusions.

[@alwynsmith5854]

Hi Yusuf. Which way do those two stainless rods go back in? The top and bottom assembly came apart from each, and resulted with the spring just laying in the tank?

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Oh my i dont remember to be honest i just remember my dad was busy it popped out and we just push it back in so its not screwed in i dont think, its meant to just keep the assembly under the hat. But the spring must be on to push the pickup part down against the bottom of the tank.

[@alwynsmith5854]

@@YusufPetersenCPT I watched a video now which shows the flat part attaches to the top part and the part with the lip at the bottom, but mine only has 1 spring.

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

​@@alwynsmith5854yep my one also has one spring. So we can safely assume there should only be one spring in 1 side.

Hi Boss. Hyundai i20 2011 G4FA. Where does the petrol filter sit in tenk

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Yes it should they are basically the same car the 2012 is just a facelift with a few visual changes. Mechanically they are mostly the same. The 1.6 may be different I cant comment on that.

Hi Yusuf, do you know if this is the same set up and parts for a UK Hyundai I20 Mk1 2011 1.2 litre petrol? Thanks.

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Yes as far as i know the previous version i20 was more or less the same just has cosmetic changes front and back so it should be the same setup.

Hi i just tinker here and there coz im too cheap to take it to the dealer also car was out of motor plan. Its not difficult hey its more like just remember how it goes together i bet you can sort this out in a couple hours no problem just make sure the tanks almost empty and disconnect the battery.

@@mohammedalliefoflonker3370 sure if you need assistance i dont mind just a tad busy at the moment. Also note it is part of the 100000km service but doesnt have to be done unless you way over and have never done it then it must be done.

[@charleselijahmusic]

Yusuf, our i20 is a motion 2016 it doesn't have nuts at the top, none visible. How does one remove it

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

That black plastic cover over the fuel pump under the seat? Thats just on with glue it can be slowly pried up with a couple flat heads the glue is soft so can be pulled apart and stuck back on when you are done.

[@charleselijahmusic]

@@YusufPetersenCPT sorry I wasn't too clear with my question 😊 The black cover was exactly the same. But after opening that black cover, I discovered our i20, does not have fastened nuts at the top, instead found that it has a threaded Lid, which needed to be untwisted. But I came right in the end - it required a lid removal tool. Thank you for responding. Perhaps you could do another video for this version of the i20 pump lid cover😊

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

@@charleselijahmusic oh really that i didnt know it doesnt need the tool can just use a hammer and chisel or something of the sort to slowly knock it loose bit by bit.

Hi my car i10 mk2 2017 model having fuel gauge problem just start today 28.4.21 stop working showing yellow flashing light, then fill up approx half tank then still warning light flashing after some time gauge start moving very slowly but by the time I get back home gauge at the quarter sign which spouse tobe at half tank. Could you tell me what I can do or wait to see if its starts work because car is about new and low mileage. Thx appreciate.

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Well as far as i know there shouldnt any issues with something as normal as the fuel level sensor if its been un touched i say take it in to have it checked out. It could be something as simple as a loose connection or the fuel level sender is faulty the gauge should respond immediately when putting in fuel as its a small tank. The yellow flash is to show its close to empty so leads me to believe the level sender in the tank could be the issue.

[@MrLalla2020]

@@YusufPetersenCPT Thx for quick response...bassicly I put around £30 every two weeks and that's bring the gauge to just over or at half tank,but in this case gauge stays down for a while and yellow light still continue on for a while, after a while I mean 30 to 45 mins gauge start going up but very very slow to the quarter, now after 4 to 5 hours i checked little while ago gauge is goes upto the half. Someone say just little push and break little hard on empty Rd few times just like shake may be sensor stuck not reading. 🤔 Regards

How did you know it was time to replace the pump?

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Well it was recommended in the service schedule and I didnt know the life the car had before wife got it. There was no issues with the previous one I'm sure with normal use it can last a long time without changing it.

[@devansamlal]

Hi Yusuf What can be wrong when the fuel pump does not prime or turn on when the key turns on the car fails to start or run. But with direct power the pump from the battery the Fuel Pump works and car runs, but the pump is working at max power all the time. How can I resolve this issue? Please help 2013 Hyundai i20 owner

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Well there should be a relay between the battery and the pump if the pump works on only full power the pump is done as it should be up and down as the car needs fuel. So i would say you need a new pump or put another relay between ignition and the pump if you need to make a quick fix.

[@tejaswadekar]

I have a car starting issue due to gas pipe. Removing and fitting that air pipe temporary solves issue. Any idea?

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

I dont fully understand.. did it struggle to start when everything was left and then you removed the air pipe and put it back it started?

[@tejaswadekar]

@@YusufPetersenCPT it struggles to start. When i remove n put back air pipe it starts again.

[@tejaswadekar]

@@YusufPetersenCPT local mechanic said to replace that air pipe. What is function of that air pipe by the way?

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

@@tejaswadekar sounds like it could be blocked it acts as a breather between tank and return system if its blocked it could cause issues.Check if you leave all that on and take off the tank filler cap if it starts. Its most likely blocked and causing a vacuum issue then the pump cant suck with sufficient force. The fact that you remove it and put it back it starts means that pipe is the issue. I dont know where it runs or how hard it would be to replace, sorry.

Hey Yusuf. I had a problem with my fuel pump. It weren't giving the correct reading of my fuel, until one day my car wouldn't start. So I brought the guy over and he said its the fuel pump, it's gone so I changed it and started but I'm still getting incorrect reading of my fuel. Do you think it's the sender unit and can I replace it without having to buy the whole fuel pump set?

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Hi there sorry for the late reply the sending unit is seperate but they are all on the pump im not sure if you could replace it separately tho but the top of the whole thing comes apart and the lower part has the sending unit on so im sure it can be done separately. It will all have to come out to do the sending unit. But its most def your sending unit if not some loose wiring.

@@tunez4moodz34 its very rare its the gauge but you will have to rule it out it can be checked with pushing current thru the loom but i dont know what voltage it needs to see to show full thats a whole other rabbit hole if you can get another gauge and check that would help only other way is plug it in when the assembly its out of the tank then move the float and see if the gauge moves if not then it needs to be replaced
