Default Gas screen on 89 Chevy Cavalier RS?

Need to siphon gas from fuel tank to drop it to insert new fuel pump? I tried pushing down 3/8" hose to hand-pump out gas but there's a block; can't reach gas.

I thought gas blocks were only for older cars? But for an 89? Is there anyway past the gas block screen?

May not have a screen, but fill tube as to keep it from being siphoned. Take your gas can down to the gas station, and use that.

Default New Directon on 89 Cavalier RS 2.0 fuel pump

can I access my electric fuel pump by removing the rear seat of my coup? One ol' crusty mechanic vet suggested I could but he obviously had had more than one Rolling Rock.

Was he telling me the truth?
