I suppose that the fuel pump and filter is located inside the gas tank

just follow your fuel supply line from the fuel rail to the filter I think it should be on the firewall, pump is in the tank I think you have a access panal under the rear seat to get at the pump

I did follow and could not find it, the fuel filter would look like a black cylinder, but I think it may look different in 02 accord; however, some guys online suggest that the fuel pump and filter are inside the tank. Hav no idea

i see, when I check my spark plugs, they are dry and white at top which is running lean ( more air less fuel), so I was concerned that may from fuel pump, and wanna know where they're located at.

Again, they are in the tank...be glad Honda went back to having an access to them vs. dropping the tank.

Give me this....replacing the pump and filter are the last resort to solve any issue you might be having.....debate.

Lucky!

I hate having to drop the gas tank on the 94-97 Accords. Sucks.

This thread is like pulling teeth.

How many miles on the car?

Stock set up?

Four or six cyl?

Any stored codes?

All regular maint items are up to date?

Any recent work done to the car?

Meanwhile....Try a "can" of fuel system cleaner of your choice and see if any improvement is noticed.

Mine is 150k, and im a 2nd owner, so I guess they never tune up the car, I till can see stock spark plugs on it.

I'm really trying here.

If you are not sure of the maint items then assume they are due. One MAJOR one you want to do is the timing belt(s)..again not sure if this is a 4 or 6 cyl.

Pump and filter are IN THE TANK! If you are dead set on replacing it....fine. Open the trunk, pull up the carpet and that and you will see the access panel. See step #8, item "B" for the fuel filter.

Personally, I'd start with the tune up items if you are not sure they have been done. Also at 150k, you better be sure the timing belt job has been done or the fuel filter will be the least of your worries.
