I believe my sending unit is going out in my fuel pump. Everytime I turn the car on it will read different every time. In order to change that I would have to drop my gas tank I believe and replace the whole fuel pump?

Yes you would. The sending unit is part of the assembly. It could be the fuel level sensor though too. But that is also part of the assembly.

You don't have to drop the tank u can cut a trap door to access it in the rear of the car there's lots of threads on it it's soooooooo much easier

Does anyone know where the write up is for cutting the flap door to the fuel pump? Or would be sooo kind and link it on here for me? Would greatly be appriciated, thanks.

also should i go ahead and buy the walbro fuel pump or go back to stock? Does the walbro have to be hardwired?

Racetronix. They even sell the sending unit. It's a direct drop in. It's a walbro in a machined housing with everything you need to get running.

there things are like a disease! i hated it when my car did this! and i have the same thing on both my camaros lol! I dropped the gas tank in one car. and cut the thing over it in the other. hell yes the cut one is easier. 15 mins job actually.

This is why I originally said to drop the tank. Just depends on how much you love your car I guess. You can do a search on fuel pump replacement and should find the writeup on cutting a hole if you choose that route. I did do that with my last car though and will admit it is a LOT easier

I love my car plenty, and I did the trap door. It's not our fault GM cheaped out and didn't design something that only makes sense. If a 20 something college-girl oriented Ford Escape can have a fuel pump trap door, so can one of America's road ruling legends.
