Fuel Tank Sender/How do you get to it?
Hi, I think my fuel sender is gone on my 83Z28. How do I get to it? Do I have to remove the fuel tank to change it out?
Any info appreciated, thanks!

Yes!!! Some people say you can cut a hole in the trunk floor, but trust me do it right and drop the tank out.

Well to those who think cutting a hole is bad.
I did it then cut the hard lines and then put on connectors, then made a plate and used machine scews and a home made rubber gasket tgo cover the hole. This did take some time but when I upgrade the fuel pump it will take about 10 minutes to swap and no one can tell unless you pull the carpet!
I am very happy with it!

I was lucky enough to have the stock fuel pump last long enough until I was ready to do an axle swap. Unless you think you'll be changing fuel pumps regularly, I wouldn't recommend the hole-in-floor method!
Super Chevy did it in the recent Camaro Performers magazine article (cut a hole above the tank for swapping pumps in their EFI app.). Admittedly it was a first-gen and those have frames. There was even a kit they bought just for the purpose.
