🔧 Fuel Pump - Replacement

The fuel pump on your Rogue is inside the fuel tank, so the repair is done from under the vehicle after the tank is lowered. This is a larger job because the tank must be supported, disconnected, and removed carefully to access the pump module.

Difficulty Level: Advanced | Estimated Time: 4-6 hours
