Re: FUEL PUMP ACCESS PANEL

it is possible. it just takes a little work. the key is to get a mini tube cutter, the lines will give just enough to cut them. just takes a little time, and patience. dont rush it.

Re: FUEL PUMP ACCESS PANEL

correct...and if you're going to use the hoses you don't really need to cut any extra. The hoses will basically just sleeve over the lines(and clamp of course)

Re: no fire to fuel pump

the oil pressure sensor doubles as a fuel pump cut-off. if it leaks, as we all know they do, might be worth looking into. had it happen to me last year.
