Default Fuel Pump

Is there anyway to change the fuel pump on a 91 Accord without having to remove the fuel tank?

No. Here are the instructions for the 90-93 Accord:

1) Relieve the fuel pressure.
A) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
B) Remove the fuel tank filler cap.
C) Use a box end wrench on the 6mm service bolt at the top of the fuel rail, while holding the special banjo bolt with another wrench.

Fuel Rail


Place a rag or shop towel over the 6mm service bolt and SLOWLY loosen the 6mm service bolt one complete turn.

2)Remove the fuel tank.

Reverse procedure to install. Torque fuel pump mounting nuts to 4 lb-ft (6 Nm). Torque fuel line bolt to 20 lb-ft (28 Nm).
Replace washers as shown in the illustration. CAUTION: Do not attempt to disassemble the fuel pump, it is not designed to be field serviced.

6) Disconnect the hoses. CAUTION: When disconnecting the hoses, slide back the clamps then twist the hoses as you pull to avoid damaging them. Clean the flared joint of the high pressure hoses thoroughly before reconnecting them.
7) Place a jack or other support device under the tank.

Service spec for the tank is only a half an hour so it shouldn't be bad.
