fuel pump change
Was wondering if anyones done this. I have a sneaking suspicion that my fuel pump will be takin a s*** soon and was wondering if anyone has cut out a trap door in the floor instead of dropping the tank.
the pump still works, but ive ran the tank dry like 3 times and just have the feeling that its gonna go.
so any input would be helpful
thanks

Trap door is exactly what it sounds like, a hack job. Take pride in your car and do it right.

The tank is oddly shaped for a trans jack but it can be done if you have one. Just saying!

I just let the tank smash into the rear and then fish the sending unit out. All is well now.
