I don't know why the pump didn't last. Cutting the whole sounds good. I wonder if it could be done while the tank is in place?

Absolutely, I put a welding blanket over the tank and used a cut-off wheel by 3M.It was too expensive for a hole saw that big. Make sure there's nothing in the way (fuel/brake lines,wire, reinforcements welded to the floor) before starting.

In the floor of the vehicle to access the stock in-tank pump from the top. I covered the hole with a larger piece of metal and some RTV. If not properly equipt, it may be best to have a local bodyshop do it, I'm sure you're farmiliar with all the lawyer blurb.

inline vs in tank fuel pump replace ment
im thinking to offer a suggestion that if you need to replace the tank fuel pump while you have the tank out make a access port to the unit if possible for future problems@
