Fuel Tank Quick Release
It appears that my fuel pump has failed. I have the replacement and got as far as removing everything in the trunk to gain access.
The issue is the two quick release above the differential, there is no way to get to it!
I want to throw in the towel and have a mechanic do this work, maybe with a lift it can be done.
Does anyone know a good mechanic in the Philadelphia area?

A couple of oz. of fuel that is in the lines will spill. The fuel is pumped from the bottom of the tank to the upper part where the lines are, so the fuel in the tank will not run out when the lines are removed.

I know how frustrated you must be. It is certainly a terrible arrangement from a maintenance stand point. But, I was just thinking. What if you cut the fuel lines (some will crindge at this) at some point where you can put a coupling in the lines after reinstall. And remove the tank and fuel lines along with it. I'm not in your situation so this is just a wild idea. Feel free to disreguarde.

I have never had the fuel pump failure either but have often wondered why not disconnect the flex lines at the other ends and remove them with the tank. There is probably a very good reason why that is not possible but inquiring minds would like to know . . . for sure.
