Hey everyone,

I have a 99 Camaro and am going to be cutting into the car today. I was just wondering what the dimensions are for the trap door. Pics would be helpful, but numbers alone are OK.

I used a dremel with the flex cable extention each 1.5" disc cut one of the four sides. I cut the right side first then started the top. Once the top was open a little I slid a peice of sheet metal under the part I was cutting but above the wires and hoses so that It would be impossible to cut anything I didn't want to.

I cut the whole center section out:

I used a 6" holesaw from Home Depot, about 25 bucks if I remember correctly. Then used a cutoff wheel to trim for better access to the quick connect fittings.

very helpfull infor. here. nice job on the trap door ? I'm assumming from all the images I've sean that you're car is a 99+?

if yes to 99+ wound you please share the dimensions of the hole.

I have removed fuel line from my fuel fliter used needle nose pliers I bought a sissors type tool however cound'nt get it to work.

I have also removed the fuel line from the fuel rail this time I bought a round tool which slide over the line it came in a package of about 8 sizes.

? I have never removed fuel lines on top of the fuel pump
is there a special tool for removing fuel pump lines on top of tank?

I'm planning a trap door for future fuel pump install and want to be prepared.

I searched for 2 hours

Thanks
