QuestionQUESTION: My daughter's car was involved in a minor fender bender. We have to replace the fuel pump since I am not getting fuel to the engin. Can U help? Do I have to drop the fuel tank or can I get access from top? I am a do-it-yourselfer and am looking for advise and proper procedures to follow.
Thank you for your time.
