Tank access hatch

Hi Guys

Having a fuelling issue. The usual misfiring above 2000rpm and under load so did a filter change and banjo strainer clean and was slightly better but still similar symptoms so went back under the drivers seat and collected a hose to the fuel intake to the fuel filter, opened the fuel filler cap and blew air back down the fuel line after a bit of effort felt it give then heard bubbles in the tank. So tried it again and was working fine for a day or two but then symptoms returned. Looks like the fuel uplift strainer is getting clog by crap in the tank. So need to the to the hatch to get at the strainer and see if I can get it cleaned out. So what I am looking for is the exact location of the hatch before I start cutting holes in the plywood floor!?! Any help guys would be much appreciated?

Thanks

Graeme

might be easier to drop the tank in your case
