I don't think so according to the literature:
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION CAUTION
The fuel injection system remains under pressure, even after the engine has been turned OFF. The fuel system pressure must be relieved before disconnecting any fuel lines. Failure to do so may result in fire and/or personal injury.

  1. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to procedure in this section.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  3. Drain the fuel tank, then remove the fuel tank from the vehicle. Refer to procedure located later in this section.
  4. Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the sender snapring. Compressed air may be directed around the seal. CAUTION
    Safety glasses MUST be worn when using compressed air to avoid eye injury due to flying dirt particles!
  5. While holding the modular fuel sender assembly down, remove the snap-ring from the designated slots located on the retainer. WARNING
    The modular fuel sender assembly may spring up from its position. When removing the modular fuel sender from the tank, be aware that the reservoir bucket is full of fuel. It must be tipped slightly during removal to avoid damage to the float.
  6. Remove the external fuel strainer.
  7. Detach the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) piece from the electrical connector and detach the fuel pump electrical connector.
  8. Gently release the tabs on the sides of the fuel sender at the cover assembly. Begin by squeezing the sides of the reservoir and releasing the tab opposite the fuel level sensor. Move clockwise to release the second and third tabs in the same manner.
  9. Lift the cover assembly out far enough to detach the fuel pump electrical connection.
  10. Rotate the fuel pump baffle counterclockwise and remove the baffle and pump assembly from the retainer.
  11. Slide the fuel pump outlet out of slot, then remove the fuel pump outlet seal. To install:
  12. Install the fuel pump outlet seal, then slide the fuel pump outlet in the slots of reservoir cover.
  13. Install the fuel pump and baffle assembly onto the reservoir retainer and rotate clockwise until seated.
  14. Install the lower retainer assembly partially into the reservoir. Line up all 3 sleeve tabs. Press the retainer onto the reservoir making sure all 3 tabs are firmly seated. NOTE: Gently pull on the fuel pump reservoir from retainer to assure a secure fastening. If not secure, replace the entire fuel sender.
  15. Attach the fuel pump connector.
  16. Fasten the CPA connector to the fuel sender cover.
  17. Install a new external fuel strainer.
  18. Install the modular fuel sender.
  19. Install the fuel tank in the vehicle.
  20. Connect the negative battery cable.
  21. Pressurize the fuel system and verify no leaks. Fig. 1: The fuel pump/fuel sender module assembly is mounted in the fuel tank is there an acsess panel under the back seat for - 87955078.gif

Where is the fuel pump located, for a 1991 Nissan Stanza

Fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank. Look in trunk under rug or Remove the back seat and under it you should find an access cover to get to the fuel tank sending unit.

Where is the panel for the fuel sending unit in back of the vehicle?

Yes, remove back seat, it is under the passenger side, just pull back the carpet. It is a circular cover held on by 6 screws. Be sure to disconnect your negative battery cable before performing any work on the fuel pump/ sending unit assembly.

My fuel pump needs to be replaced, can you tell me how to replace it.

for my 93 I had to remove the back seat, under that there will be an access panel that is held down with Four screws, remove that, then disconnect the fuel lines and 2 plugs 1 is for your sending unit (fuel level and low fuel light) and the other is for the pump itself. after removing those there is 8 8MM bolts that hold your retaining ring down. Remove those and lift the ring, next gently lift the sending unit up enough that you can disconnect the fuel lines from the underside of the sending unit, disconnect the plug that runs to the fuel pump. The sending unit will slide out at that point, be careful with the rubber ring that seals the sending unit to the tank as mine was brittle. Also BE CAREFUL THE EDGES ARE VERY SHARP i have donated alot of blood to my car that way. Once you have the sending unit out of the way you will see the fuel pump in its carrier there is a clip that you will depress on back side and the pump and carrier will slide out of the tray. Next take the carrier off of the pump. Do steps in reverse to install new. Hope that helps you.

How to install fuel filter&pump

  • De-pressurize the Camry's fuel system. With the gas cap open (to release pressure in that location), open the fuse/relay panel under the hood and remove the relay labeled "C/OPN." Start the engine and let it run until it stops. Disconnect the battery's negative cable.

  • Detach the rear seat from the car. Lift up the front edge of the seat bottom cushion, disconnect the mounting bolt underneath and remove the cushion. Pull up the seat back locks, flip the seat backs down and remove the mounting bolts.

  • Remove the service hole cover from the floor under the seat concealing the fuel pump/sending unit.

  • Disconnect the fuel line and electrical connectors from the fuel pump unit. Remove the retaining bolts and withdraw the unit carefully out of the fuel tank.

  • Release the clips on the fuel pump assembly's plastic support with a screwdriver to remove the support. Then pull off the rubber isolator, remove the fuel sock filter and disconnect the electrical connector from the top of the assembly. You can now withdraw the fuel pump from the housing.

  • Connect the new fuel pump into place on the assembly housing. Reassemble the fuel pump/sending unit in order, from the electrical connector to the fuel sock filter, rubber isolator and bottom plastic support.

  • Place the pump unit back within the fuel tank and reattach the bolts. Reconnect the electrical connectors and the fuel line. Reattach the rear seats.

  • Replace the "C/OPN" relay, reconnect the negative battery cable and fill the fuel tank if it is empty.

  • Pressurize the Camry's fuel system by turning the ignition on for a couple of seconds. Then turn it off for ten and repeat this five to ten times.

    Two fuel pumps???

    The 88 Cabrio has 2 fuel pumps and 2 fuel filters as well. One filter next to the main fuel pump and another under the hood next to the air filter. The transfer pump in the tank is easily acsessed under the back seat by an access panel with 3 screws. The Transfer pump has a screen which is notoriously clogged. The Main pump is on the frame on the passenger side mounted in a rubber casing. Both pumps can be tested by wiring the terminals straight to a battery. Check your relay and fuse first. The fuse is the 5th from the left and the relay is the 2nd from the left in the first row.

    No fuel

    Check fuse #28 and fuel relay has been a problem spot with the TT. Relay should be located in the mini panel under the steering column, relay #167 or 409. Try to reseat the relay. Here is a link to a TT wire diagram.

    Next would be one of the 2 fuel pumps located under the back seat. There you will find the access covers to the sending units/fuel pumps.
