Fuel pump access

[john110]

Before I rip up the original carpet to check (vehicle is 3 hours away from home), is there possibly a "hatch" in the rear deck to access the fuel pump in the tank? I expect there isn't. Does anyone know the exact position of the fuel pump on the top of the tank? I would then cut a hole - very carefully - and make a hatch.

I know manufacturers want the cabin to be fully sealed so they often do not provide a hatch, but it makes life much more pleasant than pulling the tank.

Thank you, Pavel

I've got a 94 sidekick 2 doors 4wd manual, 1,6 8v..... I will have to do a hatchin the r4st deck as the last owner welded to piece of metal below the tank to get a tough trailer attach and to protect thefuel tank....... since few days I've got a fuel issue it want to start by dies after 1-2 sec.....my bet is that the fuel filter on the fuel line is dirty or the filter in the tank(on the sander) is dirty....

I disconnected the fuel line just before the tbi and turn the key to see if fuel was coming but just little fuel came out..... after that the sidekick ran for about fifteen minutes while turning the truck on and off.... now it does it again.....

So I'll read what kicfick is suggesting to you as I migh have a similar problem..... As I cant lower the fuel tank, I might have to make a hatch to have access to my fuel pump...

Fixkick, I got a question that could be (I think) useful for others... if you disconnect the fuel line just before the tbi and turn the key on (and redirect the fuel with another hose in a bucket or whatever !!), does the fuel pump should keep pumping the fuel as the pressure cant be reached ?!!

I empty my tank this wy few years ago. this would mean that the regulator isn't the problem. am I right ?
