How to Fix the Fuel Pump in a 2001 Hyundai
Hyundai is a car manufacturer in South Korea that primarily makes compacts and subcompacts. The 2001 models use multi-port fuel injection, which requires the fuel pump to deliver fuel to the injectors at high pressure. The procedure for repairing the fuel pump in a Hyundai is generally the same for all models from 1999 to 2005. The fuel pump is attached to the fuel tank, requiring you to remove the fuel tank when replacing the fuel pump.
