um maybe it didnt come on cause you have enough gas in the tank ?

but i wouldnt wait to fill it up until the light comes on

its better to have at least 1/4 tank, otherwise you could burn out the gas pump

NEVER let a fourth gen or any camaro/firebird run out of gas or get low, its much easier to just fill it up regularly than drop the axle to replace the pump, or pay a shop upwards of 1k to replace it[&:]....

you dont need to drop the axle, you can either drop the gas tank or cut a hole in the trunk/cargo area

The haynes manual says to practically remove the rear of the car, at least i think so, i lost mine kuz i threw it at something a while back.....the trap door is a good idea though, gonna hit that up once this "global warming" hits the midwest haha

Alih hit the nail on the head. I changed the fuel pump in mine three weeks ago and I just cut a whole in the trunk and covered it back up when I was done, nobody will ever know.
