    I think you guys going on about a "big hole in the car" need to get over yourselves - the trap door method is absolutely no different than the hole in your firewall for the wiring to run through or the holes in your floorpan with the rubber plugs on them. It's not like you're weakening a structural component.

            Wideband should be here on Monday - the rest of the gauges shipped but im not sure how long they will take. I would ultimately like to install the fuel filter, pump, and pressure gauge at the same time/

              Brian I would drop the tank if i was you. I did the trap door and have no regrets doing it, but my car isnt a show car like yours, and you may not want a hole in the back. You have a dd so you can take your time and just drop it.

                  cut a hole then, not like anyone else cares

                  All im saying is im NOT cutting a hole in mine, i dont care if the trap door method is fine.

                    honestly i wouldnt cut a hole in my car, but thats me everyone has their own opinion, when i did my fuel pump it took me personally about an hour and a half to two hours to drop the tank.

                        Yessir - got it on Friday. I'm going to wait until my fuel pressure gauge arrives - since I have to depressurize the system to install the sending unit I might as well do all three at once.
