the only way you'll smell gas is if you have a leak ... which would need to be fixed anyway


if you search the forum you can find picture of both locations of the fuel pumps ...

Trap door FTW, no gas smell my dremel made some sparks and nothing and I made a deadmat door for it and taped it on. Really easy, make sure you cut more by the disconnect lines makes it easier.

Does the Walbro 255 come with all components necessary for the replacement?

There are no other components. Remove the old pump, install new pump, done.

That depends on the year and tank model. I believe you have a Metal 15.5 tank, the 16.5 Plastic Tanks however do require additional stuff... it's better to get a racetronix kit for them.
