    Does anyone know how to replace Canister Pump for 2007 Prius?

    I am not sure it needs to drop the fuel tank down or move the rear seat!!

    Please help.

    ggcc,

    I too am a little uncertain as to the exact part you are asking about.

    The same cite given by northwichita says this about the fuel pump
    on pg.3-2:

    "The fuel pump module assembly is integral with the fuel tank and is
    not serviced separately
    ."

    I think we're talking ~$700 if the fuel pump is acting up.
    You have to replace the tank, bladder, pump and other internal stuff.
    There are very few threads on fuel pump failures. That said here is a
    short one that may be helpful:

    Thank you very much for the information and the documents. Yes, look like I have to drop the fuel tank in order to replace the canister assembly (pump).

    Hi Rokeby,

    I am not trying to replace the fuel pump but the canister pump.
