I’m replacing my fuel pump. I decide to replace everything. The sending unit , fuel pump, fuel filter , wire harness, gaskets and mounting ring. I learned that my 2002 accord 3.0 vtech has a fuel filter. The filter is the large plastic housing that the sending unit, fuel pump, wire harness is attached to. Yes the fuel pump and parts attach to the fuel filter. When you take the fuel pump out of the access hatch in the trunk, those inlet and outlet hoses are going through the fuel filter. It’s not a typical inline fuel filter. Hope this helps. !!!
