How to remove fuel pump from2001 Cadillac deville

Modular fuel sender assembly is located at the top of the gas tank and is accessible via a fuel sender access panel bolted to the floor inside the trunk. Be sure to follow all safety precautions when working around this tank, and be sure you know how to disconnect the fuel line quick-connectors.

Need to see a video on installing in tank fuel pump

Youtube must have thousands of them, well hundreds anyway. Well, a whole lot anyway. One probably like or similar to your '89 model.

Pretty sure you have to drop the tank to replace pump. In later years, makers began putting access panels under the rear seat or trunk area to access the fuel pump assembly, without removing the gas tank.

How would I go about removing my fuelpump on a 2004 cadillac deville, in order to replace it with a new pump.

Take all the stuff out of your trunk. Remove the trunk carpeting. You will see the access cover for the fuel pump just behind the rear seat area. Remove the access cover. Disconnect the fuel sending unit electrical connectors remove the fuel line disconnects. Remove the fuel sending unit lock ring.

NOTE: The fuel sender assembly will pop up quickly when the lock ring is removed.

Use a towel or rags to catch the fuel as the sending unit is lifted out of the fuel tank.

Reverse proceedure to install the new unit.

1999 Cadillac Deville - How to replace fuel pump? Fuse is OK and fuel pump does not run. Is fuel pump accessible through trunk or must you drop tank? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

Unfortunetly Cadillac does not have an access panel for fuel pump access until the newer years. You will need to drop the tank. Also, don't let the tank come slamming to the ground, make sure you take it slow so you dont dammage the lines to the sending unit.

Good Luck!

Fuel pump replacement

Most cars nowadays have electric fuel pumps which are located inside the gas tank. Most likely you would gain access to it by way of the trunk or behind the rear seat (look for a removable panel under the carpet) or you would have to remove the gas tank to get to it. Before replacing it I would have the fuel pump pressure tested to make sure that it is bad.
