Whats your thoughts? Have you done this before?

You still won't have enough room. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. Richard c User Jul 15, 2010, 10:28 AM Post #3 of 6 (1482 views) Re: installing an inspection plate in floor 2000 Astro Sign In Do you mean enough room to cut the plate or to remove the pump? One more question if you've time: removing the fuel from the tank with key on pressure pulse? I have no hand pump here.

Do not use anything electric to pump out the fuel. (one little spark can ruin your whole day). Agree with HT...don't bother 'cutting' an access hole. Will just cause grief, down the road.

The assembly has to be manipulated and twisted around to snake it out and the extra space between the floor and the tank will prevent that. It's just a real crazy idea. it's not that hard to pull the tank. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
