You can access the fuel pump one of 2 ways. dropping the tank, or if your lucky, you may be able to get to it from the trunk, or under the back seat. You are looking for a round plastic access panel under the carpeting in the trunk or the seat.

Sounds like you might have an oxygen sensor problem. Your catalytic converter(s) maybe defective or dirty. That in turn can dirty up the oxygen sensor. A defective oxygen sensor will send faulty info to the computer, interpreting the fumes as cold (even when the engine warms up). That causes the computer to adjust the fuel mixture to very rich, giving you poor gas mileage and the fuel smell. Hope it helps.

Follow the steps given below:

1. Disconnect battery.
2. Relieve fuel pressure.
3. Remove tank from car.
4. Use compressed air to clean the tank, then spray with oil from an aerosol can to reduce the likelihood of combustion.
5. Use a hammer and brass drift, turn the lock ring counterclockwise to unlock.
6. Lift the tank unit upwards out of the tank. Tilt as needed to avoid bending the sender float. Fold the pickup screen if needed.
7. Look inside the tank for and sediment or flotsam that may need to be removed.
8. Unplug the tank unit to pump electrical connector.
9. Unclamp the pump to tank unit hose and replace pump and hose.
