Replaced the fuel pump in the Forester.
Probably one of the easiest jobs ever and thankfully, Subaru actually thought about access from inside the vehicle, so no need for tank out.
Back seat lower out, access panel removed and voila !!....there is the top of the fuel pump, sitting easily accessible.
It's an in-tank module that incorporates the filters, so pretty much the same process as replacing a fuel sender unit in a kombi.
Undo push-lock fuel lines x 2, remove 6 pin plug, remove 8mm nuts securing the unit and lift it out.....
P. O. P !!
Very happy that everything went back together as it should..... and without a hiccup.
New fuel pump, filters and 30 minutes of time and it's running beautifully again......
( and a HELL of a lot cheaper than that quoted by Subaru......)
