As the Hyundai Genesis Coupe ages it is important to pay attention to condition of the fuel system. Often upkeep of the fuel system gets overlooked. Do you know when was the last time your fuel filter has been replaced, if ever?

Removing the Fuel Pump Assembly:
Make sure the car has less than 1/2 tank of fuel when doing this.

Remove the service cover of the fuel pump.
Disconnect the fuel pump connector (A).
Idle the engine and wait until fuel in the feed line is exhausted.
After engine stops, turn the ignition OFF.
Disconnect the fuel feed tube quick-connector (A) and the suction tube quick connector (B).
Installation Torque: 2.2 lb-ft.
Remove the bolts (C) that hold the fuel pump retainer to the fuel tank.
After the bolts are removed you can lift out the fuel pump. Do not forgot the orientation that the pump was facing when in the tank. It is possible to install clocked to the wrong direction.

Some fuel may spill out of the fuel filter assembly. Put down a fuel resistant material in the interior so you do not spill any on the carpet.
The fuel pump assembly sits on top of a rubber o-ring that is on top of the tank. Do not misplace that.

Remove the fuel sender (C).
Disconnect the fuel feed line (A) from the fuel filter.
Separate the head assembly (B) with the hooks (C) released.
Disconnect the regulator hose (A) from the fuel filter (B).
