Hello,

Great info on this forum.

Have a 1989 DX Hatchback d15b2 w/ 210k
I need to change the fuel sending unit.
The fuel gauge reads empty connected normaly and it will read full if I ground one of the two wires.
But have no idea how to remove it from the tank.

Does it unscrew?
If so, how?
There are two sets of tabs that I can see on the tank after I remove the cover.

Thanks for your input


Thank you.

u got to unscrew that cover unclip the harness.then u have to take a screw driver and tap the tap lose.it should show u how to open it in the helms

 

Thanks for the help.

Seems like you bend the tabs up and tap on the unit to unscrew it from the tank.

I'm winging this one with no HELMS...

 

hum?if u go over to zcr they got crx shopmanual it will be better then hlems?

 

Are you sure the sending unit is bad? It's common for the gauges to fail on those Civics.

 

YES it's bad, I tested the gauge and its good.

I was testing the fuel pump and jumped the wrong wires.
12v to the sending unit for just a second killed it...

I will try to revove it after my coffee this morning.

Thanks everyone for helping this Honda NOOB

 

 

You can usually use a hammer and a dull chisel to
gently tap the retaining ring loose/off..

Be patient and work from side to side or it will try to wedge..

Also a good idea to hit the top of the tank with compressed air
to get all the dirt out of the area so it doesn't end up in the tank..

Thanks 88dxcx, great advice.

Anyway got it out, and took out my fancy electrical tools (ohm meter & sodering iron) and did a repair. not too pretty but it works!!!!!
