Who all has tried this? Does it work? Does anybody have any pics or instructions that show exactly where to cut?

 

When i changed my fuel pump i took out the exhaust and then dropped the fueel tank. I didnt cut a hole but the process i used was kindda of difficult but there were no holes.

 

Try searching next time, there is a video

Link to the video is dead. Anyone have a good one?

 

Oh no.. not again.

Seems to me that there must have been more than one multi page post on how to do this.. and if it is indeed a good idea.

Do a search.

In short here's how to do it: pull up the carpet and cut a hole in the floor with a torch

 

You resurrected a really old post.

 

Well since this one is up, anyone got a link? I am guessing he did a search to get one this far back.

Looks like a good idea. I changed my fuel pump the right way the time I did it... but it was a lot of work.

With the carpet covering it, you won't see anything anyways. And they went pretty crazy with the screws... I doubt they would have any problems with leaks and such. The only thing I would do is maybe paint or coat where it was cut... just to prevent corrosion on the untreated metal.

The only thing I wonder about is how safe it is to use a blow-torch to cut the hole when it's so close to the fuel tank?

Anyone have any other suggestions of how to do it?

 

I did mine with an air hammer and chisel. Took about 5 min and no sparks whatsoever. That is the safest way to do it and you won't mess up the gas tank or blow yourself up. You can get them from sears.

I believe that was a joke.

Don't anyone try that.

Yeah, we all know you are SUPPOSED to use a Plasma cutter.

I used an air-hammer with a chissle bit on mine. Worked like a charm; didn't even disturb the dirt sitting on the tank.

 

Yes, that was a joke.. maybe it wasn't obvious enough.
Flame + Gas = bad
