2010 edge limited fuel pump replacement fwd

[Skant153]

I saw a post on here about possibly replacing the fuel pump from the cabin. It said there's a panel under the rear seat that can be removed to access the tank. It seems that this panel does not exist on the 2010 limited model. There is a small oval cutout to access the top of the pump but I find I can't even get my hand through to unplug the electronics.

 

Not I'm going to have to drop the tank and replace the pump the hard way. It looks like the tank straddles the exhaust so I'm thinking that may need to come down as well.

Does anyone know of an easier way to go about this? I'm tempted to cut through the floor. I'll try to put up some pictures tomorrow.

That sucks! Seems like 2010 is a crossover year in many ways, because 2007-09 have the in-cabin access port.

 

Here is the official procedure for the 2010, and it confirms the need to drop the tank.

 

Fuel Pump Module
Special Tool(s) Wrench, Fuel Tank Sender Unit

WARNING: Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent accidental spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure, even when the engine is not running. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: When handling fuel, always observe fuel handling precautions and be prepared in the event of fuel spillage. Spilled fuel may be ignited by hot vehicle components or other ignition sources. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Always disconnect the battery ground cable at the battery when working on an evaporative emission (EVAP) system or fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

NOTE: The Fuel Pump (FP) module has a serviceable fuel level sender. For additional information, refer to Fuel Level Sender in this section.

All vehicles

Figuring out where to cut for the access port will be the hard part. If the fuel tank has otherwise remained identical to previous MYs, you could get measurements off a previous MY Edge for that.

Can anyone tell me where to find the access for fuel pump on a 2011 edge?
