What did you use to cut out the access panel for your fuel tank? I have wanted to try this when my pump goes since I have changed one on a buddies car the hard way and will never do that again.

I just dont want to blow my car up!!!

nope...just for safty sake make sure you blead the pressure out of the line by pressing the valve at the fuel rail...but there should be no fuel on the outside of your tank so sparks are ok
