Were is the fuel pump accessed on 01 acura tl

It's in the fuel tank, attached to the sump - take out the rear seat (or in the trunk in redesigned 2001 models) and there should be a panel underneath giving you access to it.

I have a 01 Acura 3.5RL and the fuel pump is not running.I sprayed starter fluid in the throttle but it still did not start. I seen where one person said you have to drop the gas tank to change pump and...

No your not. If you removed the back seat and there was no access plate and there was also no access plate in the trunk then you will have to drop the gas tank to replace the fuel pump. Good luck!

Where is the fuel pump locted on a 99 acura tl

HI. First, you will need to remove the filler cap. This will release the pressure in the tank. Once this is done, simply, remove the rear seat. This will expose the fuel pump access panel.The access panel will be secured by three screws. Remove the screws to lift the access panel. Once the panel is lifted, the pump will be accessible.
