Actually, you can easily (maybe not the best word) access the EV fuel pump from within the vehicle. The carpet in the rear area between the front seats is perforated so that it tears neatly. The resultant flap is lifted up and there is an access panel that can be removed right where the fuel pump is located. I hope to never have to do it, but at least the tank does not have to be dropped. Does anyone know if the same fuel pump is shared by another VW or Audi model? rob 93 EV GL - 70K --------------------- >From: Modl6971 <Modl6971@AOL.COM> >Subject: Re: Fuel pump Cost - '93 EV > >In a message dated 98-05-06 00:18:22 EDT, ve7asr@ISLANDNET.COM writes: > ><< A friend with a '93 Eurovan (2.5L 5-cyl) just had his fuel pump fail.
