Once you cut the panel out, you will NEVER wnat to drop the tank. Its ALOT easier. Thats how mine was done, do it There are mesurments aroudn the web with pictures and stuff.

I've done it both ways. The trap door is easier by FAR.

Have you checked the fuel pump relay before ruling the pump as the problem, or gotten a fuel pressure regulator on the rails?

there is no pressure on the valve and all i hear when the keys is turned is a click. so i guess the relay is working.
