I have heard stores about people trying to do this cutting a hole above the fuel pump most don't end well ,
Remove the tank and fix all the related problems like fuel lines and fuel connections and wiring connections contacts ,Many systems have upgrades with different connectors .
If you want to keep the vehicle
You can remove the base of the rear seat and see if there is an access panel there or possibly in the trunk...however most cars do not have one. In that case you have 2 choices. First and best us to drop the fuel tank. This should only take about 30 to 49 minutes if you are mechanically inclined. Second you can locate the corresponding location to the fuel pump and cut out your own access panel.....but the problem here is one false m I ve and you could slice up the wiring harness, fuel lines or even damage the tank. If you go this way then only cut three sides of the panel using the uncut side as a hinge. Then you will need to either use a piece of sheet metal or metal strapping to act as a bridge from the panel across the cut. Attach the filler piece to both the access panel and the body with sheet metal screws. You will then need to seal the gap with seam sealer (available at most auto parts stored or paint and body stores).

Did you replace the fuel filter? Have you checked the pressure from the fuel rail? Check vacuum hoses for cracks? Check vacuum pressure and engine compression? Check fuel pump relay?

have you checked all fuses under the hood? have you checked the fuel pump relay? you may be able to swap the fuel pump relay with amother relay in the fuse box.are you getting power into and out of the reset switch? from there it goes to the fuel pump. if power is getting to the fuel pump and it has a good ground, the the pump is bad.

Disconnect the battery & any fuel lines you can and the same with electrical connectors first of all. Drain the tankwith a siphon pump if 3 gallons or more of fuel is present. It gets heavy to replace back in and dangerous too.. Have the tank supported now & remove the bolts from the tanks mounting straps. Drop the tank down about 6 inches and check for other connection that need to be removed
RFemove the center retainer to remove the fuel pump with the sending unit
I would replace both items since it is an older car and also replace the filter sock to the pump too
