My 98 GT died today and I think it might be the fuel pump.I am in the process of getting it towed home. Do I have to drop the fuel tank, or is there and access panel under the back seat?

have to drop the tank!

I used to have a 98 Explorer. The second time the fuel pump went out I decided to fix it right and cut a nice access panel out of the floor. I made a nice aluminum cover for it and used some silicone and four sheet metal screws to attach it. I was sick and tired of having to drop the tank. It always pissed me off. They should have made the access panel stock from the factory.

Thanks for the info.

If the CCRM is clicking does that mean it works.

I was able to get a hose in the filler neck and put most the fuel in my Ranger. The stang had 3/4 tank of fuel, which is always the minimum required fuel before a flue pump goes. I dropped the fuel tank yesterday and found the grommet for the filler neck was almost in two pieces. After calling all the parts stores, I called the dealership and they have one. I'm going to get that, the fuel pump, and a new fuel filter. Hopefully, I will be driving my stang this afternoon. I did notice that I am getting some rust on the exterior of the tank. I guess I will keep an eye on that.
