Installing an In-Tank Fuel Pump/Sending Unit? Don't Forget a New Base Gasket, Locknut, and Fuel Line Retainers
APPLIES TO:
See Models Listed In Illustration
SERVICE TIP:
Whenever you install an in-tank fuel pump/sending unit into a plastic fuel tank, the S/M tells you to install a new base gasket. But did you know you also
need to replace the locknut and the fuel line retainers as well? Make a note in the Fuel Supply System subsection of the appropriate S/Ms to also replace
the locknut and the fuel line retainers. Then follow this handy chart to order the appropriate parts.
Install the new gasket on the fuel tank side, not on the fuel pump/sending unit side; this ensures that the gasket doesn't get pinched or rolled. If you don't
install the fuel pump/sending unit correctly, the MIL could come on with an EVAP control system leakage DTC set. The gasket and the locknut are
currently available in Honda parts stock under separate part numbers. But soon, they'll be packaged under a single part number. The fuel sending unit,
gasket, and locknut will also be packaged together under a single part number. The gasket and the locknut will then be discontinued as separate part
numbers.
