+HRVAT1975 This particular car was an LG4 car. Computer controlled carb.
In a nut shell, I used NOTHING from the stock thirdgen. I literally strip
the car front to back of everything except for the wiring for
horns/lights/wipers and interior. Starting at the rear, its a 4th gen
plastic tank. I install the 4th gen bulkhead connector behind the rear
seats in place of the stock harness. So its plug and play from the tank
into the car. Then I used the fuel lines from the 4th gen as well. They
are a nice fit until the front subframe, where the 4th gen lines “kick
out”. I modified the lines, and brought them up into the engine bay in the
same spot as the 4th gen. Then hooked to the fuel rail with some russel
quick disconnect fittings and braided line.
seems like you were more worried about metal shavings and getting cut than
taking the damn unit out. and of course you dont show haw to install the
damn pump itself
i like this solution as long as its done nice and properly. should be there
from factory in my opinion.
WHAT THAT BLACK SENSOR ON THE TOP FUEL PUMP
I’m installing a ’02 Camaro tank in my ’87 TA right now, and was wondering
what you did with the vent lines? I noticed that you didn’t have anything
connected to the pressure sensor at the top of the pump module so I’m
assuming that you don’t have the evap actually functioning on it, do you
have the plumbing/canister hooked up? What did you hook up to the vent
line (well center line on the pump module, and I’m not sure exactly what
the other 2 lines going to the fittings further up on the tank are, or vice
versa, the evap line in the car that goes to the front passenger side of
the car and the pressure relief that goes to the white filter/valve in
front of the tank)?
I like the idea of using a nibbler. Though it seems a bit messy, seems far
safer than using a cut off wheel by far. I think I’ll get a air nibbler to
do this. I’m mostly doing this to fix the fuel sending unit, which I saw a
fix in a different video., but since I’m going through all this, I might as
well replace the fuel pump. Is the racetronix fuel pump worth it? I hear
gm’s fuel pump is unreliable.
Hi, do you know why the pump mfg wants us to drop the tank and wash it out
in order to keep the warranty in effect? how much sludge could be left down
there anyway?

That is insane!!!! I dropped my fuel tank way faster and easier than all
the crap you did. But if it works for you, go for it!!!
Air hammer with a sheet metal cutting bit works great for cutting the hole.
Clean edges and no sparks… just my 2 cents. Nice video.
That’s a great idea. Never heard of anyone making a hatch.
That’s thinking if your going to keep the vehicle, and when it
comes time to replace it again,….it will be a slam dunk.
But,…The only thing wrong with your idea is “(if your going to keep the
truck for years )”,..then dropping the fuel tank is part of maintaining
your vehicle. Gas tanks rust out too, and while your changing your fuel
pump, you can check out your tank, clean out the grunge around the straps
that also rust out and give it some paint and some new strap gaskets.
What’s that tool called you used?
Thanks Seth Rogan!
Hatches are great.
Sweet, jegs loves making tard holes. Nice goober hack. are you going to
smash it with a rock and grunt at it next.
Interesting, in 1992, Honda made an access panel whereby a person can take
out and replace the fuel pump. On many things, the Japanese engineer a
better solution. As for the cover, easy enough to make a sheet metal cover.
Was this originally a “carb” car? if it was, then did you use 4th gen
fuel harness and 4th gen lines or harness and lines from a 3rd gen TPI?
Thanks
nice work, thanks for sharing!.
You just saved me!
i did thsi for my 03 silevy, have a sealed door over it to keep water away
Be sure to use a brass drift…all the while what I really used–my
screwdriver and hammer–is lying in the background ;)
What year Camaro was this? I have an 87 Iroc that I need to change the pump
in and was wondering can I cut the same size hole in the same area in my
car?
Its a Firebird, but no matter they are the same. If you have the STOCK
tank, you will not be able to cut the same hole. You will need a MUCH
larger hole. AT least 2x as long (front to back). And it will be more
towards the front of the car. This is a 2002 plastic fuel tank like the
title says. 82-97ish will have to cut the larger hole. Any newer with
plastic tank can cut a smaller panel like I did. Hope that clears it up.
I almost did the same thing to my 1989 camaro… Let me tell you it’s
really hard dropping the tank… To be honest there should be an access
hole there factory… I think the newer mustangs have an access hole…
Makes sense! Great video!
