While I believe that cuttign a hole in the floor is probably quick,
and convenient, I think I will stick to pulling the tank.  Best record
for taking a pump out and putting a new one in was on Jim White's
car... about 15 minutes after we had the gas out, I was just finishing
putting the tank back in.  Understand though that I have done this
multiple times and had done it about 3 times in that month.  I think I
would be slower now because I don't remember the precise tip the tank
one way and then slide it under the subframe connectors routine.
