Hi all, we have this 97 camaro with a bad fuel pump and I was wondering what was it that we have to do, to get it out. I know its in the tank, but the problem is that we don't know how to get it out. Thanks in advance.

There are at least two ways to do it.

Drop the tank

Cut the hole

First, make sure your vehicle doesn’t have an access panel that will allow you to access the pump without removing the tank. We’ll show you what to do if you do need to drop the tank.

We always put safety first, so make sure you’re thorough and careful. Don’t forget to wear safety glasses and gloves. Give yourself room to work and have cleanup materials ready to clean any spills immediately. Work in a well-ventilated area away from an open flame or anything that could cause a spark or ignite fuel, such as pilot lights and incandescent light bulbs. Make sure you have a fire extinguisher on hand. Don’t smoke, either. Always relieve fuel pressure prior to opening fuel systems because releasing fuel under pressure can cause fire and injury. Store fuel in an approved container like a gas caddy or gas can.
