Zorba Thanks for the reply, I found the hatch in the rear, didn't look hard enough first time because I was looking to the sides. It was almost dead centre of the load space floor, pulled it out gave it a tap and it worked, but didn't risk it by putting it back, bought a GOSS GE033 at Supercheap $139.00 it's the equivalent of the Delco EP105AH which is for the VN, Vs, VP commodore, had to alter the connections to the smallest spade type receiver ends, polarity was same as original. However now idles a bit lumpy, might be better after a run, or maybe some crap from old pum in the injectors, have to wait and see tomorrow. --Previous Message-- : Bill : Here's some info from my archives but not : sure if it's for '93. : ---------------------- : TANK ACCESS : via CUT HATCH : NO TANK DROP REQUIRED (see : also FLOOR CUTOUT ... ) : A description of the cutout dimensions and : measurements. From: : http://www.rangerovers.net/repairdetails/fuelpump.htm : Fuel Pump Access Hatch Measuring for the : Cut-out : The fuel pump lid is six inches long (from : back of vehicle to front) and 7.5 inches : wide (from left to right of vehicle). The : bottom left corner is 12 inches from the : edge of the bottom part of the aluminum : stripping that is rivetted to the vehicle : (note that there is a top part as well, : where you'd slide the sound proofing : material between the bottom part and the top : part). : Once you measured 12 inches, the bottom : left corner should be 16.5 inches from the : indentation into the luggage compartment for : the spare tire. : Another way to measure where you would want : to have the left bottom corner for the latch : is to count eight depressions in (= 16.5 : inches) (the floor isn't flat, but rather : has raised and depressed lengths). It's : important that you cut the 6 inch length : (going from the back of the vehicle to the : front) in the depressed parts of the floor : as opposed to the raised parts. : Cutting and Sealing the Hatch : Dan used a sawzall to cut the luggage : compartment floor, but you need to take care : not to have the blade hit the tank and/or : the fuel line and wiring from the fuel pump. : When you cut the top length (7.5 inches, : left to right), you get close to the : hose/wires and you'll need somebody to watch : from below to make sure you don't let the : blade cut these components. Once the lid was : removed, Dan pop rivetted two 1 inch x 11 : inch x 1/4 inch thick pieces of aluminum to : the bottom of the compartment, at the : depressed part of the floor. Then he laid : the lid over the top, drilled two holes and : screwed the lid to the aluminum. He used : silicone sealant to seal the cut. : Following this design, from now on you can : access the fuel pump without having to drop : the tank. : Larry M. : : : --Previous Message-- : Pretty sure it is in the tank but there is : no access hatch/hole that I can see when I : lift the carpet and underlay. : : Questions : 1. Are there any reference measurement to : where it should be? : 2. Has anyone any advice about cutting a : hole in the floor? : 3. Any idea of the distance below the floor : to the top of the tank/pump? : 4. How big a job is it to drop the tank? : Thanks in advance. :
