92 accord with a badd fuel pump, but is it an in-tank fuel pump? or do i have to drop the fuel tank?

I'm fairly sure on that model you'll need to drop the tank, but you might check under the trunk carpet behind the back seat to see if there is an access cover on the drivers side.

Nope, gotta drop the tank. True to Murphy's Law, I had just filled up when my fuel pump went out.

There is a drain plug on the fuel tank. It's hard to see though, with the undercoating on it. Luckily mine was close to empty, because I didn't find out about the drain plug until after the fact. Good luck

I can't credit the post below because I didn't save the author information. Nor have I checked my 92. Take it for what it is, a suggestion.

Main relay and fuel pump test and replacement for Accord or first generation Acura Legend.

The fuel pump is a known common failure on Hondas. The fuel pump is in the under the back seat. On the 90-93, you need to remove the back seat cushion. You will find two metal covers but the fuel pump is the one on the driver side, near the gas filler nozzle. Peel out the lid and then remove all the bolts and unplug the fuel hose. Make sure you replace the two (copper or aluminum) washers. To install, make sure you torque the bolts to 4 lb-ft and the fuel service bolt to 16 lb-ft. To drain the fuel tank due to contaminates that may have caused the pump failure, jack up the car and loosen the drain bolt. Torque the bolt to 36 lb-ft upon install.

Note the test procedure below works for the Accord, including connecting the jumper wire. However the Blk/Yel is Yel for the Accord. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Try this first before you drop the tank!!

Turn your key on and then go back and forth between on and off QUICKLY about 6-8 times the last time leaving the key in the ON position.

It COULD be the relay, I changed my pump and all it was was the relay.

Can't wait to get home and check my Helms or under the car... so I'll bump this old thread. Can someone verify for me the 4th gen Accord has a drain plug under the gas tank?

Thanks
