Hi,
I just replaced the gas tank on my honda civic and also replaced the fuel filter. However, the car will not start. There is a spark but it appears not to be getting the gas. I went back through and made sure all the hoses were properly connected but no luck. Help, any suggestions? It was running fine prior to this but since the gas tank was leaking I had to replace it.

Fuel pump is probably not getting power. Did you disconnect the battery when replacing the tank? Check the fuses and the fuel pump relay.

Wow, I'm impressed with the quick response. Can you tell me where the fuel relay pump is located on the 95 honda civic?

Behind the left side of the dash, near the top of the kick panel. It might be labeled PGM-FI Main Relay.

The kick panel is the plastic trim where your left leg will normally be near while sitting in the driver seat

I've looked all over where you said and there isn't any plastic trim and I do not see a panel as it is wide open. Any other suggestions? Thanks for all your help so far.
