I wouldnt cut a hole cuz the tank is about an inch away from your body . It is possible cuz my buddy did it to his 91 TBI really slow camaro . He made a door and had to cut his metal fuel lines and use hose clamps and rubber fuel lines to put it back together . It wont work on a 4th gen unless you cut a huge hole . Its a total barefoot redneck way to do it . Ive changed 4 in my 3rd gen (autozone pumps) back in the day and 3 in my 4th gen . Its not a easy task but you will spend as much time trying to cut a hole and fish your high pressure lines out of the way and fishing the whole sending unit out of your fabricated hole not to mention its a unibody and doesnt need holes in it or GM woulda put a door in from the factory . Drop your muffler all your suspension and the two 18mm bolts from your rear control arms and drop the rearend . Everything is out of the way then its 2 15mm bolts to loosen your tank straps and pop off your fuel lines which are plastic on a 4th gen and metal on a 3rd , and your there . Pop your retainer ring change the pickup screen (sock) when you change the pump then reverse the process . It usually takes 4 or 5 hours of hardcore wrenching but it gets easy after you change a few .The exhaust was the hardest to get off for me working off jackstands with a basic tool set . Lol cut it all off and replace it with a flowmaster cat back , its way easier and you will love the sound especially with headers . Its your car but im sure that most everyone who knows how to wrench , especially f bodys like myself will agree with me . Ive had both my cars tore apart and my 96 TA is gettting a 500 horse lt1 built for it as we speak . Its sat for 3 years so ill have to change my pump again no doubt . Oh buy a good bran name pump like an original Ac Delco or a good aftermarket one from summitt

Yes you can. it is near the center, a little to the left, start with a drill and drill a little hole so you can make sure your near it. but i dont suggest cutting it out.

    thankyou for tip. I'll make a hole on my 95 chevy camaro to replace fuel pump. Dropping the rear end seems like to much work for me.

1994 camaro z28 electrical system dead

A couple of things can be the cause. You could have an issue with your battery connection, or your ignition switch is dead. Ignition switch issues tend to kill all the power to the car. They can go without warning. It's located on the driver's side on the steering column.

How do you drain the gas tank on a 94 Z28 camaro

You don't. There is no drain plug. If you are pulling it out to replace a fuel pump you just drop it with the fuel in it.

If you have to empty the tank you have to **** the gas out. Best to pick up a cheap hose that has a siphon built in it. make sure the tank you are putting the gas into is below the tank on the car. Start the fuel flowing and let gravity take over.

Hope this helps

My 94 z28 camaro chuggs when i punch it

sounds like a fuel pump struggling to pass its contents. try running a treatment solution in your tank. if this fails to work, you will need a new fuel pump to correct this problem. sometimes, trash will build up in your tank and it will cause build up in the jets. you should check vacuum as well if needed.
