    I mean in theory its nice to have a nice new hatch to bolt in but for as often as you actually screw around with the fuel pump I was like - well THAT doesnt need to look nice, its covered anyways.

    I just figured that was the easiest and most logical way to do it…

    I just figured that panel is usually destroyed in it's removal. (at least every time I've seen it done in person)
    But if you have patience and a heat gun it should be possible.

    dropping the tank really isn't that hard… takes like 20 minutes with a good jack and an extra set of hands.

    Last time I dropped the tank it took me a few hours…

    But it was also 10* out and I was working in about 4" of snow.
    Stupid cars always like to die at the most annoying times. :-?

    Good bump.

    Thought about doing this so many times.

    Supras have an access hatch for their fuel pump basically like our fuel sending unit and I always wondered why Nissan didn't do one, it'd be so much more convenient.
