The wheel wells cannot be removed without removing the front running board fasteners.

This is an excellent idea and he is to be commended. I work at GM and wish our engineers would frequent some of these web sites to get a better grasp of customer needs, requirements and plain old fashioned desires.
Ok that is a good point.

I wasn't knocking his install, just expressing weather its really worth it to some...

I am looking at relocating my entire filter mount/pump, for ease of access, it would be quite simple. I'll post pics and write up when done.

great idea w/ door mod, I replaced my push pins w/ licens plate incerts and screws . lookes stock and the lg pan head screws hold every thing in place. now just unscerw and remove. if you do this there are two or three sizes , get the large that has 4 tab s for the hole not two, the small ones will spin.

access to filter

good idea for access to fuel filter, changed mine yesterday , while the panel was out I replaced the push pins w/ license plate insert and screws. there are two sizes, use lg ones, they have 4 sides that go thru hole not 2 and will not spin. The lg pan head screws hold every thing and looks stock

Good Idea, I had an old toyota minitruck that had an access door like that for changing the fuel filter-it was installed from the factory....
