I recently watched a video where a guy dropped the fuel tank in a Camaro. It was a lot of work! Glad we don't have to do all that much. The hoses really are frustrating and I typically get my hands horribly full of cuts and scrapes because there are some sharp edges in the tunnel there where the hoses go.

BTW I have one of those Motive pressure bleeders.... I used it to pressurize the tank and it allowed me to siphon more than eight gallons out of the tank the last time I had to drop a tank. It worked like a charm.




Yes it's not that hard. A few months ago, I put together a list of 10 worst Fiero repairs and the fuel pump isn't anywhere near making the list. In fact if you're going to replace the hoses, I'd argue it's rather simple. You could just cut the hoses and remove the pieces later. The only thing that makes it even moderately difficult is removing the hoses and possibly siphoning the fuel out). I wonder if people that are saying it's super hard just haven't done any Fiero (or any car) repairs that really are hard?
