The fuel pump on a 1998 Subaru Forester is located inside the fuel tank.
Here's a step-by-step guide to locate the fuel pump in your 98 Subaru Forester:
1. Park your car on a level surface, turn off the engine, and engage the parking brake.
2. Locate the fuel tank access cover: It is usually located under the rear seat or in the trunk of your car. Remove the access cover by unscrewing the bolts or clips holding it in place.
3. Inside the fuel tank, you will see the fuel pump assembly, which consists of the fuel pump, fuel level sender, and fuel filter.
4. The fuel pump is typically secured to the fuel tank by a locking ring or bolts. You will need to remove these to access the fuel pump.
5. Once the fuel pump is removed, you can inspect and replace it if necessary.
Note:
- Fuel pumps are designed to be submerged in fuel, so it is essential to ensure the fuel level is sufficient before removing the access cover.
- The fuel system is pressurized, so it is essential to depressurize the system before removing the pump.
