Step 3: I cut a small peep hole to determine where I needed to make my full cut. I was almost surprised to find the pump exactly in the middle of the suburban. The center of the pump is exactly centered side to side, and 19" from the back door seam.
Step 4: My access hole measures 13" from the same seam as the other measurement. The hole is about 12"x10". It is 2 ribs, 3 valleys.
Step 5: Luckily I have a donor Suburban out in the back 40, so I cut a cover plate out of that one. The cover plate measures 16" long, and I went a full rib on each side for added strength. I put a bead of silicone down, then used some orange gorilla tape to go around the plate.
Thank you for the write up on this. And thank you for showing how and where you actually measured from. With this, I was able to make the correct cut the first time
What did you do with the longer pipe at the 9 o’clock position? I’m thinking I’ll have to lower the tank just a bit to get that off but it’s still easier than dropping the tank the whole way.
