Fuel tank access

I'm trying to fix the very common problem of having the fuel filler clicking off constantly while filling. The service manual says there is an access panel under thge back floor and yet when I pulled up the carpet nothing. Is this a common discrepancy or maybe only something on the export models. I can see a recess where it is sposed to be but the floor is solid.

I thought the access panel was only 02 and MAYBE 03?

Yeah well since there doesn't seem to be a manual for 04 only 03 or 05 it is quite possibly why

Yep - not on the 05 export model either, which is a shame, because it would be useful.

02 has it.
early 03 has it too.
Hopefully that since I have the 45rfe ******, I have that service port.

Install an access hatch;

I plan to eventually put my new fuel.filter in and to do this i will likely drill out the rivets ( you might just cut your. 'Hatch' out with a sawzall or grinder) then I will clean up the mating surfaces really well ( mine will have some sealant on it I'm sure) you might use some small self tapping screws and little tabs cut from maybe 24-22 gauge sheet metal.or something beefier if you like

I'm going to seal mine up with tite bond caulking we use in roofing and sheet metal, its great stuff.

Just food for thought
