Disconnect the electrical connector from the fuel pump/fuel level sending unit module. If the fuel tank is empty or nearly empty, it's not necessary to siphon the remaining fuel from the tank. But if there is a lot of fuel in the tank, remove the fuel pump/fuel level sending unit and siphon out the remaining fuel through the fuel pump mounting hole in the tank. Raise the vehicle and place it securely on jackstands. Remove the rear part of the exhaust system. On 4WD models, remove the driveshaft. Remove the fuel tank rock guard mounting bolts and/or nuts and remove the rock guard. On 2001 and 2002 Acura and 2003 and 2004 Honda models, disconnect the quick-connect fittings for the fuel supply and return lines. Be sure to cover the ends of the fuel line fitting(s) with plastic bags to prevent dirt and moisture from contaminating the fuel system. On 2003 and later Acura and 2005 and later Honda models disconnect the fuel supply line quick-connect fitting. Disconnect the EVAP hose that connects the fuel tank to the EVAP canister. Disconnect the fuel filler neck hose. Disconnect the EVAP hose located above the filler neck hose. Support the fuel tank. Remove the fuel tank retaining strap bolts and remove the straps. Carefully lower the fuel tank. If you're cleaning the fuel tank, this would be a good time to inspect and clean the inlet strainer for the fuel pump/fuel level sending unit module. Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to tighten the fuel tank strap bolts securely. When you're done, reconnect the cable to the negative battery terminal, then start the engine and check for fuel leaks.

The fuel tanks installed in vehicles are made of plastic and are not repairable. If the fuel tank has been removed for cleaning, this is a job that should be left to a professional who has experience in this critical and potentially dangerous work. Even after cleaning and flushing of the fuel tank, explosive fumes can remain. If the fuel tank is removed from the vehicle, it should not be placed in an area where sparks or open flames could ignite the fumes coming out of the tank. Be especially careful inside garages where a gas-type appliance is located, because it could cause an explosion.
