Fuel Pump??

[mbumgua]

Many cars now come with a trapdoor in the trunk to change out the fuel pump. They have no problem with getting exhaust inside the car. If you seal the trapdoor good you will have no problems. It all comes down to personal preference. If you like to crawl around under your sub pulling the gas tank, more power to you. I personally like the idea of changing a fuel pump in twenty minutes rather than 2 to 4 hours in the cold or heat.

It's called the last kick at the cat.9 times out of 10 it will get the pump fired up one more time. It knocks the brushes lose in the motor.As for cutting a hole. 90 Sub and I got tired of dealing with it real fast. I dropped the tank,cut the hole and will never have to worry bout it again.

The tank in my 97 was full . After I drained it the tank came out easy .
A trap door sure sounds nice ,would have saved some time and bucks !

I can understand the reluctance to cut up a nice rig but after having laid out in the cold and crud doing this job I'm now sold on the idea. Next time I will drop the tank, mark the area, cut the hole and then take my cut out section to the junkyard where I will simply cut a bigger section from the floor of a wreck, drill and tap holes in the perimiter, slap in a piece of gasket material, clean and paint the cover, bolt it down and that will insure I will never have to change the !@#$ing thing again.
