Introduction

It is best not to have a full tank to do this operation. Goggles and nitrile gloves are recommended. We are working with gasoline so of course no cigarettes or other sources of sparks. Leave the 4 doors open for maximum ventilation.

Using the specific tool to extract the pump cover is really essential. It is not possible to do a proper job without it.

We will have taken care to note the reference of the original pump because there are 2 models on Logan 1.4 mpi: one with fuel return, the other without return (this is the one we have here). It is necessary to check the compatibility well in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises.

  1. 
remove the rear seat cushion

then remove the plastic cover using a small flat screwdriver
    • remove the rear seat cushion

    • then remove the plastic cover using a small flat screwdriver

  2. 
disconnect the pump plug, you can move the locking tab aside with a small flat screwdriver (without forcing too much)

then put a rag under the fuel hose and disconnect it

wrap the hose in the rag and set it aside to make room

    • wrap the hose in the rag and set it aside to make room

    • Before continuing, clean the entire perimeter of the pump with a vacuum cleaner and rags. Do not allow any impurities to fall into the tank.

  3. 
place the specific tool on the pump cover and start unscrewing using the 15mm ratchet and socket wrench

finish unscrewing by hand and remove the cover

then remove the pump by tilting it to pass the gauge float

    • finish unscrewing by hand and remove the cover

    • then remove the pump by tilting it to pass the gauge float

    • A bucket will have been placed nearby in which the pump will be immediately placed to avoid getting gasoline everywhere. This bucket should then be safely placed outside the vehicle. It is your responsibility to dispose of the defective pump and gasoline responsibly.

  4. 
make sure the rubber seal is in place

It does not need to be replaced if it is in good condition, as well as the pump cover.

present the pump with the arrow back (as pictured) with the gauge float passing first
    • make sure the rubber seal is in place

    • It does not need to be replaced if it is in good condition, as well as the pump cover.

    • present the pump with the arrow back (as pictured) with the gauge float passing first

    • Place the pump against the tank

  5. 
Absolutely crucial step. You will have to align 2 markers (arrows).

one on the tank (not very visible in the photo but it can be seen very well on the tank)

    • one on the tank (not very visible in the photo but it can be seen very well on the tank)

    • one on the pump

    • These 2 markers must ALWAYS remain aligned.

  6. 
place the cover around the pump and hold it (it tends to rise)

and tighten by hand (you will need to hold down with one hand and tighten with the other) as far as possible

then place the specific tool

    • then place the specific tool

  7. 
Just like the pump and the tank, the cover also has a mark

tighten with the tool

when the mark on the cover (in red) is aligned with the mark on the tank (in blue) and the mark on the pump (in yellow), the tightening is good

    • when the mark on the cover (in red) is aligned with the mark on the tank (in blue) and the mark on the pump (in yellow), the tightening is good

    • You will need to tighten gradually, remove the tool to see where you are and ensure that the pump remains in alignment, and continue tightening if necessary.

  8. 
retrieve the fuel hose that we had set aside and reconnect it

reconnect the power plug

Turn on the ignition and make sure there are no leaks, then start the car while continuing to check.

    • put the cover back in place and put the bench down

FYI, the lid is very tight and purchasing one outil spécialisé to unscrew will help you to carry out the operation successfully.
