The fuel pump in the 1993 Honda Accord attaches to the outside of the fuel tank. This makes it an easier and safer job for the do-it-yourself mechanic who wants to avoid being charged a lot of money to have a repair facility replace the fuel pump. The fuel pump uses pressure to force the fuel from the tank to the engine. When the pump fails, the engine cannot get enough fuel to run properly.
