3. Locate the fuel pump. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank. On the Honda Passport, the fuel tank is located under the rear of the vehicle. You will need to remove the fuel tank to access the fuel pump.
4. Remove the fuel tank. To remove the fuel tank, you will need to:
* Disconnect the fuel lines from the tank.
* Disconnect the electrical connector from the fuel pump.
* Remove the bolts that hold the fuel tank in place.
* Lower the fuel tank from the vehicle.
5. Replace the fuel pump. Once the fuel tank is removed, you can replace the fuel pump. To do this:
* Remove the bolts that hold the fuel pump in place.
* Remove the fuel pump from the fuel tank.
* Install the new fuel pump.
* Replace the bolts that hold the fuel pump in place.
6. Reinstall the fuel tank. Once the fuel pump is replaced, you can reinstall the fuel tank. To do this:
* Raise the fuel tank into position.
* Install the bolts that hold the fuel tank in place.
* Connect the electrical connector to the fuel pump.

7. Start the engine and check for leaks. Once the fuel tank is reinstalled, you can start the engine and check for leaks. If there are no leaks, you can put the vehicle back in service.
Note: If you are replacing the fuel filter at the same time as the fuel pump, you can do so by removing the old filter from the fuel line and installing the new filter in its place.
