Put it on blocks, prepping to change fuel pump. Disappointed, no pump access plate for me. Down with the tank. 140,000 miles/225000km riding on vapors finally caught up.  :o  ::)
Howdya figure that :-\ lift the trunk carpet, right hand side halfway towards the seat :y about 8"diameter, secured by four screws...
I saw a post in this forum about that very issue. Went to the trunk, lifted the carpet, scraped sound deadener from the circular area and no screws. However, before I put the tank back there will be a access hole cut.  :y

Sounds like someone has BTF out of the boot floor :-\

Not fitted with sound deadening there... It's an integral part of the carpet at best...

Maybe the access was deleted to meet Federal/state regulations :-\
