'85 5KT: Fuel pump replacement question

[MHLIGGINS@aol.com]

<<Don't do it if it's cold...  Empty that fuel tank as much as possible!
Sticking your hand in gas isn't fun.  Do it in a WELL lit area.>>

And make sure you either a) have someone on hand to help you or b) you put a
board or similar item across the lip of the trunk in case it closes on you!
Had the wind do a 180' turn on me and slam the trunk once.  Creates an
interesting thought process while you are lying in the trunk with you face
over a tank of gas (fumes, etc.) and the trunk closed securely over you.  My
daughter had just gone to make a phone call before it happened.  She was a bit
surprised when she came back!  Guess I'd been good, because she let me out
without making me promise anything special.

In other words, be EXTREMELY safety conscious as you do this!

Later.
