Honda 17044-TR0-A30 Fuel Tank Set

The process of draining Civic fuel tanks becomes much simpler when the tank has an empty fuel level because the tank lacks a drain plug yet requires fuel siphoning from auto parts stores which should be initiated without using your mouth. Start by discharging fuel system pressure before removing the negative cable connection from the battery terminal. The first step must be to access the fuel pump/fuel gauge sending unit to remove connections from both the fuel lines and the electrical connector. It is important to support the vehicle safely by placing it on jackstands while it rests at a raised height. It is not necessary to siphon fuel from an empty fuel tank but you should drain remaining fuel by removing the fuel pump/fuel gauge sending unit and extracting it through the opening. The driver's rear wheel must be detached and wheel well liner extracted. Proceed to eliminate the fuel filler neck hose and fuel tank vapor hose quick connect fittings while inspecting all parts for damage. The procedure requires you to remove lower rear fasteners from the mounting cover and pull the cover backward if it is equipped. Detach the front tank quick-connect fittings from the fuel line followed by removing the fuel tank shield. First support the fuel tank with a transmission jack or a floor jack with plywood safety material before removing the rear underfloor bar and separating the fuel tank retaining straps. To remove the fuel tank open its baffle plates when applicable and perform a safe fuel tank descent. It is appropriate to remove the fuel pump/fuel gauge sending unit module now if it needs replacement. The process of fitting materials follows the exact steps in reverse order of uninstalling.
