Fuel pump replacement cost
for a Nissan Altima

Replacing the fuel pump on a Nissan Altima involves accessing the fuel tank, usually from under the rear seat or through the trunk, to remove the fuel pump module assembly. The cost is primarily driven by the high price of the OEM fuel pump module and the labour required to safely depressurize the fuel system and remove the tank or access panel.

Can you do it yourself?

Possible with skill — requires depressurizing the fuel system, special tools for fuel line disconnects, and careful handling of the electrical pump assembly.

Tips before you pay

Always disconnect the battery and relieve fuel system pressure before starting.
Inspect the fuel pump strainer and consider replacing it with the pump.
Use new sealing rings/gaskets for the fuel tank or pump module to prevent leaks.
