2017 Ford Fusion Fuel Pump Replacement

We replaced the fuel pump in a 2017 Ford Fusion. We did not remove the gas tank. There is no access port to get to the fuel pump so you normally have to remove the fuel tank to get to it. But we decided to cut our own access hole to get to the fuel pump from the top. We almost made a huge mistake. We are not mechanics and we only wanted to show our experience with this project.
