well, im not sure on the caddi but take a look under your car, thats a clear indication!! LOL!!! J/K!!
Anyways, again, i havent done this on a cts but have done it twice on my camaro. IT SUCKS!!! Exhaust has to come down, panhard is move over..blah blah blah...than it suxks to manuver it out of its pocket....
But really, just look under and expect to pay a hefty few for removal, i was quoted once 600.00 in labor, so that is why i did it myself....

Straight from the service manual;
Drain the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Draining Procedure .
Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure .
Remove the exhaust system. Refer to Exhaust System Replacement in Engine Exhaust.
Remove the propeller shaft. Refer to Propeller Shaft Replacement in Propeller Shaft.
Disconnect the filler hose (1) from the fuel tank.
Disconnect the filler vent tube (2) from the evaporative emission (EVAP) hose. Refer to Quick Connect Fitting(s) Service (Plastic Collar) .
Refer to Quick Connect Fitting(s) Service (Plastic Collar) in order to disconnect the following from the chassis bundle:
- The fuel feed hose
- The fuel return hose
- The fuel EVAP hose
Disconnect the fuel tank electrical connector.
Disconnect the EVAP hoses from the EVAP canister.
Pull outward on the retainer tab in order to disengage the retainer from the chassis.
Disconnect the electrical connector from the EVAP canister.
Raise the lower control arms using a suitable screw jack (3) in order to remove the load from the lower shock bolts (2).
Remove the lower shock bolts (2).
Remove the screw jack (3).
Position the screw jack under the rear frame near the adjuster tie bar, in order to support the front of the rear frame.
Remove the 2 front bolts from the rear frame.
Important: Use care not to over extend the rear brake hoses.
Lower the screw jack until there is approximately 50 mm (2 in) (a) between the front mounting surface of the rear frame and the chassis. This will allow clearance to access the fuel tank strap bolts.
Remove the fuel tank strap bolts.
Position the fuel tank straps downward around the rear frame.
Carefully bend the fuel tank straps ONLY enough to allow the fuel tank to be removed.
Important: Ensure the following are free from the surrounding components while lowering the fuel tank:
• The fuel tank wiring harness
• The EVAP wiring harness
• The EVAP hoses at the EVAP
• The fuel/EVAP hoses at the chassis pipes
With the aid of an assistant, carefully lower the fuel tank from the vehicle.

uh,...yeah...well, you can always cut a trap door through your trunk floor and you wont have to remove the tank.
It may sound stupid but a few camaro guys have done it, and it seems to work out fine if you have the patience to make the proper cuting lines and have a smooth hand so you wont cut a wire harness, fuel line etc.
It maybe that you dont want to do this to your new car but its another option that would facilitate the fuel pump swap, inspection, etc.
