Why do you need to cut fuel pump access panel?

Where is the fuel pump access panel located?
It is located under the passenger side of the rear seat. Area marked off to be removed. For cutting i used a Dremel and their reinforced cutting wheels. Only used 1 1/2 wheels to cut the panel out, just have to go slow.
Is there a hole in the fuel pump?
Not in the groove. In the groove after i snapped it back in there. Here is the hole itself and as you can see the fuel pump module that you now have easy access to. Now you will need to clean all of the dirt and grime off of the whole area before opening it up.
Where is the fuel pump on a trailblazer?
The fuel pump is right between the two studs that hold the the seat down. Once you figure out where it is, use the nibbler to cut as big a hole as you can over the fuel pump. I used a socket to hold the wire loom up out of the way. There is a weld front-ward that will be your northern boundary.
