Fuel Pump Location???

You guys with 4th gens giving advice are misleading the guy. On 4th gens, it's easier to do the trap door because the lines have disconnects. I had a 91 and tried the trap door method, unfortunately all 4 lines are solid and have no disconnects, and the sending unit is not coming out with them connected. There are only two right ways to do the third gen, drop the tank, or cut the lines and flare them so that you can connect them back up the safe way.
Well O/P, guess you gotta do it old school :/

So he would need to drop the tank while the fuel lines are solid leading to the fuel pump? I never knew that about the 3rd gen- I have learned something today. I thought trap door was only available for 3rd and 4th gens, now I have a future reference point.
Well O/P, guess you gotta do it old school :/

man,do not hack a hole in your car!!!! and even if you do you still wont be able to get the fuel pump out that way.and yes you do have to drop the rear axle to get the tank out but it can be done the right way.just DO it the right way.ok?

That has been established, good sir.
In his case, don't cut a hole, with a 4th gen, its the only way to go without cussing.

mmmmmmm
6 year thread bump
anyway
with TPI cars I'd agree with you about flaring is mandatory

not a waste because the 3rd gen fuel tank and pump were discussed to the benefit of those who were not familiar with it.
Now, a debate could rage between me and 69 about how one could handle the task for TPI vehicles vs TBI

iLL, you can put away your popcorn and koolaid, smartazz.
And Rusty, there's nothing "hacked" about the way I cut mine open. Sure, I've seen some online (not here yet) where it looks like the guy cut the opening with a dull can opener.
Also you do want to have a good sealed cover, not just use the carpeting, because exhaust fumes will otherwise enter the car. This was mine once I was done, sealed with silicone adhesive and screwed down:
