It's going to fall in. Don't use tape.

Re: New fuel access panel

I can only imagine the rattling sound that will make while cruising.

Although if you hack off the exhaust at the collectors you wouldn't hear it.

Re: New fuel access panel

I used a set of soft close cabinet hinges on mine. The people at the car shows always comment on it and It keeps the rattling to a minimum!

Re: New fuel access panel

Good news is you have enough tape left for subframe connectors.

Re: New fuel access panel

I cut an access hole in my car earlier this year. Should've done this years ago. I run dual 340 pumps in my tank and this just makes everything so much easier

Re: New fuel access panel

When I replaced my pump I left the old pump in place and cut a new hole in the tank and duct tapped the new pump in place. Once in a while I smell gas but I just add more tape. Works really good and makes changing the pump super easy.
