[Shotimes] Surgical Instructions

[Ron Porter]

I guess that they don't have every detail, but in line with the warnings
that Ian Fisher used to have on his old webpage about this same
procedure..........if you don't know where the fuel pump is at, you probably
shouldn't be doing this method!!  ;-)

>Fuel Pump Access Door

>This guide will show you how to install a fuel pump access door. This
modification will eliminate the need to drop the fuel tank to change the
fuel pump >and will literally save you hours of being on your back and
possibly the need of getting a new tank.

>1. Remove the rear seat, and move the sound deadening material and carpet
out of the way. Measure from the outside of the door trim 21" and mark a
>line. Then mark another line at 30". It should look something like this:

The directions do not mention measuring from which door...  Are you saying
that the measurements are from the passenger door?
