Civic/Teg Fuel Pump Replacement

Great writeup!
The spilling gas is usually in the fuel line itself and pours out when you disconnect the outgoing and return fuel line from the fuel sending unit. From what I heard, to get rid of this spill you should start your engine, remove the plug going to the fuel sending unit (as you can see in picture two), and once the engine stalls, turn it off and your ready to go. Can anyone confirm this procedure?

I usually follow that procedure when I'm changing a fuel filter or rail or the like. Since you already have the back seat out and access to the electrical plug going into the pump, you can just pull that plug and start the motor and run it till it dies to help lessen the amount of fuel that spills out of the lines when you remove them. Great addition.

Hey guys, I have a 91 teg here with a dead pump. Was going to replace it, but there's no access door on this one. Is the pump in the same place? I was going to expertly cut my own access door, as i vetoed dropping the tank. Clearly there's a little room to play with a cutoff wheel between the body and tank, and it would make the procedure actually worth my time if i knew where the pump was located on the older tanks. Thanks a lot!
