That would be *really* nice.

I will comment that I replaced the fuel pump in an off-brand of
mine (my Toyota pickup whose maintenance I've frequently described
as "sadistic"), and dropping the tank to get at the pump was a piece of
cake.

Don't have a clue about the Avenger, but the first-gen LH cars
(Intrepid, Vision, Concorde) have a fuel pump access panel in the trunk
floor. Its way forward under the package shelf and not the easiest place
to work, but it sure beats slithering around under the car draining and
dropping a full gas tank!

 My wife's '84 Volvo 240 has that too. It was easy to replace the in-tank
pump! Should be a standard feature on "modern designs" :-)­

 You hav to understand, that's a tricky thing to engineer. The trouble is, in
a wreck, you've got two holes lined up that could shoot gas into the
interior of the covers pop off. If you make a trunk floor, for instance, out
of a single sheet of metal, then really it won't get perforated in almost
any accident, so if the gas tank gets squashed it is not so unpleasant.

If it wasn't for wrecks, it would be much easier to engineer cars for
maintenance access.

This is off-topic, but my Brother-in-law had a 3.4 liter OHC Grand Prix. I
had heard that in order to replace the alternator on that car, you had to
take the body off the frame. It was expensive, so he had me do it. Sure
enough, there was no other way to get that sucker out. Incredible. I told
him, if this was my car, I'd cut a hole in the firewall and do an
alternatorectomy.
