2013 Kia Optima Fuel Pump Replacement (How to/Tutorial)

[@jinsong6940]

Thanks! I did this fuel pump replacement today and it was such a pain in the ass. I really wouldn't recommend people to do this job as this car has one of the more difficult fuel pump replacement. I would also recommend that you use a socket wrench and one of those longer extended sockets to get to the bolt that holds the gas tank. You can reach the bolt from under the car as there's a hole through the metal frame that would allow you go get to it. Doing it with a regular wrench is much harder for sure. The pump on amazon is 60 bucks but I would recommend getting the Delphi or another trusted fuel pump which for me was 500. I don't think this is one of those parts you want to cheap out for a lower quality chinese version and also if you're doing all this work, might as well get one that will last you a long time.

How were you able to take out the locking ring that locks that fuel pump in ?

[@greghii8093]

Thank you! I'm doing this on Friday! With my 2013 kia optima lx. You should consider getting an affiliate link for Amazon to make money on the part that you ordered.

Where did you get the replacement?

[@daniellerobinson7323]

was the evap hose thats IN the tank, was it attached to the tank inside? Or was the hose and valave inside just lose and sittting in tank? Mines was just laying in a cavity and seems like it would be bouncing around in there?

I just did this on a 2014 Kia Optima, and did NOT have to drop the gas tank!!

Do you need to swap over the old EVAP plug to the new pump??

[@ukrainef_poo-tin8917]

It would have been nice to see everything you where doing

[@amyjo413]

Yeah I may have to do this because my car looses power after about 30 minutes of driving

I don't think this guy knows what he's doing.

[@jackiemartling5321]

Then by all means - please make a video showing how to do it right.

One of the worst part replacement videos I ever watched I think I just lost 5 IQ points

I did this fuel pump replacement on a kia optima 2013 and he's absolutely right. I wouldn't have been able to do the job without his video so I don't know what you're yapping about...
