in the tank. that same access panel show you the top of the gass tank. That
circle you see is the fuel pump.

Not sure on this model car. Some early models have two access points.
One for the fuel quantity sensor, the other for the pump. The access
points can be under the trunk, under the rear seat (if the tank is
located this far forward), or it may require dropping the tank. A
pretty easy job, make sure the tank is low on fuel to lessen the
weight.

If you pull up the trunk carpet and can not get to the pump (hit
metal), or it is not under the rear seat, you may have to drop the
tank.

Look for the access panel with the fuel hose running to it.

The round access panel opens to the sending unti. You need to drop the
tank to get the the fuel pump. The fuel pump (as you are facing the trunk)
is to the left of the access panel.

BEFORE you got to all the trouble of dropping the tank, liberally
lubricate everything there. We used some GM spray lube on mine, but we
still had to remove the tank by removing the bolts from the rear of the
car. K+Luckily, they didn't snap, and we greased them well before we
reinstalled them!

We also had to place a jack on the tank, with a board, and jack the tank
up enough to let us put the bolts back in.

This was because the clamps that you are SUPPOSED to undo to remove the
tank were frozen solid, and no amount of lube would free them.

You can try unbolting them from the unit body; in my case these bolts were
frozen too, so we took the 'easy' way out...

Also, make sure the fittings come undone. There may be a fuel filter
behind the tank, as well as the one on the engine; now would be a good
time to repace it...DON'T break the fittings!!!

You only have to remove the seat bottom, not the seat backs. Most are just
clipped in, some are bolted down. Push down and towards the rear of the car
to disengage the seat cushion, then lift up.

Thank you so much. It doesn't have an access panel underneath the
backseat, so i have to drop the tank to get the pump. Thanks everyone
for your help.

Man, look i've replace a hundred of em. one last time. the access panel,
once lifted shows you the top of the fuel pump, thats what that circle is.
you knock the tabs around and the WHOLE pump pops out through the circle.
you change it and put it back together. YOU DO NOT need to drop the
tank.....Thats what the access panel is for. Thats what makes JAP cars a
little more sensible. GOOD luck.....MAC1833 ASE certified.
