well my fuel pump on the camaro went out and needed to change it. and i know you guys either like this way or relay hate it and bash down on me, but i wanted to do the fuel door method instead. so i have been searching for a parts list on what i would need to do the job and some pics i guess. i wanted to use some fittings to hook the fuel lines back up. so could someone please help me out? thanks

 

There are LOTS of threads already about this.

 

well i have found a couple of threads about this fuel pump door mod, but i havent realy found what type of parts people use like 3/8's fittings, what type and where do i get them? what do i need to do the job? thanks.

 

You just need a flaring tool and the right fittings.
You will not want a 37 Degree, that's for AN fittings.
You could do either a single or double flare. Just make sure you get the right fittings for which ever you do.
Oh, you will want a 45 degree flaring tool.

 

so what do you guys use to cut the door out? i got a 3 inch cut off tool with new wheels would that work out ok? i mean i know not to go in deep into the tank. what other methods have been done?

 

Make sure that you know what you are getting into before you embark on this journey. Check (search) the Tech/General Engine board here for several long threads that show the cuts, depth of the lines below the panel and so on.

Note that you will need to either cut & splice the hardlines at the top of the tank. Or, you will need to cut a 3-foot slice out of the back of the car.

By the time you go through all the time and effort to cut the hole, try to cut the lines cleanly through a tiny hole, get the flaring tool, cut up your hands/forearms badly, change it out, get the fittings to seal and not leak and then properly patch the hole, you could pull the axle down and just do it the proper way. If you do a search theres the great debate about this, but really when it comes to time invested, what's another hour or two? Plus you could change some bushings and maybe even the diff. fluid while you're ripping things apart.

Personally I'm thinking about pulling mine down and just using a fuel pickup, then mounting an inline pump near the filter. Nice and easy to get to if any work has to be done. Haven't worked out the specifics but it should work pretty good.

 

well the only thing i need to do now is cut the fuel lines, what do you guys use to cut them? i didn't want to use the cut off tool and blow my self up with some sparks, so what methods do you think would work?

 

I used a hack saw blade mounted in one of those holder deals. But deburring the lines was a hag. You can't get a tubing cutter on them, at least I couldn't.
