Look at the tank, the pump is in the center. Estimate were to cut. But like Dennis said, this is risky. Cutting into the tank or a fuel line could be a fire that gets out of hand really quick. Those tanks aren't that hard to drop.

I do not think this is a safe idea, the tank is plastic and if you drive through it you may cause a fire.

    Do you know if there is a safe distance between the tank the backseat/trunk? Safe enough to cut through but not hit the tank?

Does 95 Chevy Caprice have an access panel for fuel pump

95 Does not, you'll have to drop the tank to get the fuel pump out, some people have been known to cut a hole by removing the backseat, I do not suggest this as it could cause fumes to come back through the car.

V6, 3.8l. Is there an access opening behind backseat or in trunk to remove the fuel pump?

I believe you have to drop the fuel tank. If there were one, it'd be in the spare tire well, or under the carpet in the trunk.

I need to know how to drop the fuel tank so i can change my fuel pump please

You don't need to drop the fuel tank in a 1995 940. There is an access panel in the trunk. Under the trunk liner there is a panel to the left of the backseat access. Unscrew the 4 screws there and you should see a screw-top cover. Remove it and you will have access to the fuel pump and floater.

DOES MY 2004 PONTIAC GRAND AM HAVE A PANEL IN THE TRUNK OR UNDER THE BACK SEAT TO ACCESS THE FUEL PUMP?

1996 Seadan Deville 4.9L fuel pump stopped.

I would purchase and install an electric fuel pump or have one installed. Simple to install, attach to side of car, place in fuel ine and place black wire to battery, only problem, the pump starts pumping immediately when engine is turned on and in case of an accident, it will not shut off as long as the motor is running.

2000 PONTIAC FIREBIRD FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT

Many of the Pontiacs of that era up to even present models had an access panel in the trunk that you could access through the back seat pass through.

Its been a while since I seen the inside of a Firebird, but in thinking about it the back seat pass through may not be present on the Firebird, but it may be worth the time to lift up the carpeting in the trunk area and see if there is an access panel to the fuel pump.
