Hello, I removed the plastic panel to get to the fuel pump to check the seal. I loosend the clamp and the fuel pump will move. I cant get it out all the way to see if the seal is ok. should I remove the fuel lines coming from it? there is also a few wires there. how should I go about removing the whole pump without damaging anything. I would like to get this done when I get out of school tomorrow! any suggestions? I was relieved when I smelled the gas, it isnt too bad at all. If I find that the seal and pump look fine should I attemp to start it? hopefully she will start for the first time in 9 months. Thanks David, vin#2496-looking for owners in west michigan
