Merv's right... it's a PITA to get those lines free unless you make that other cut. Unfortunately, I never made that cut and just added an unnecessary 30 minutes to the job the first time.

Yes it is ALOT easier to cut than to drop the Tank. I did that a first time to replace the Fuel Pump with another stock one when it went out on me one day, then I went in there again to change over to a Walbro 255 for my LS Engine. It took about a half-hour to change it. Since then I've taken that Panel off for a few other things, it's a very big help.

Just curious on the people who used a cut off wheel? was there any problems with the sparks and the gas? thats what made me so nervous when i did mine so i ended up using tin snips and well lets just say its not near as clean of cuts and the pics in here. Is it save to use a cut off wheel say now that i did the pump change over two months ago and the gas that was dripped should be evaporated?

I did the "L" like merv recommended. Made the disconnects very accessible. Not a bad mod, easy to access for the next time (gonna need dual pumps for the turbo mod). I used a Dremel, it used a lot of cutting wheels but was quite easy and safe. No way were the fuel lines in danger of being cut.
