Yep, when I had the ZL1 pump (really just an E3 pump with wiring changes) installed in the Senator they just dropped the tank. Apparently some early VEs had the access panel under the back seat but mine (06/2008 build) didn't.

I had to replace a tank in a VU ute , in the tray under a panel in the bed floor behind the cab.
Stock fuel filter is under the car.

Got it back today. They pulled all the electrical connections and sensors and checked them, only one that came up faulty was the Coolant Level Sensor. That has been replaced and no battery light since. Put new O2 in as well. Next thing is the tune, but after that will be some brake upgrades. I know it ain't fair to compare it to the Brembo's on the Calais (been driving that all week), but the stuff on the ute is rubbish. I remember putting a Harrop street plus kit on the old VT2 when we first moved to Adelaide from Darwin and that was really good for what it was. From memory it was adaptors to suit 330mm rotors and the slotted rotors included. I reckon I will just get some slotted stock DBA rotors and maybe some EBC Red Stuff pads and see how much that improves things.
Rod good alternative is the C5/C6 Corvette PBR calipers with 330mm Front 310mm rears, good all round street package identical to what what fitted to 04-05 Clubbies.
VZ 6.0L's came out with the larger ( 320mm x 32mm front rotors and Corvette calipers ) from the factory, over the smaller standard VT Commodore onwards ( 296mm x 28mm front rotors and smaller calipers. )
Their a vast improvement over the standard VT 296mm x 28mm brakes.

Incorrect...
I should have been more specific, VZ Monaro's , VZ 6.0L Thunders, VZ SSZ's, and export Pontiac GTO's all came with the 2005 + C6 Spec Corvette Calipers which are larger than stock Holden VZ calipers.
2005 + C6 Corvette stock caliper below.
GTO / C6 Calipers are the same, just different caliper brackets.
My OEM VZ 6.0L Thunder ute calipers are same as the GTO calipers above, but they are unpainted from Holden, and include the 320mm x 32mm rotor from the factory.
Only the Monaro / GTO / SSV / Corvette calipers came painted.

Goes in for the tune at 1000 today, hopefully will notice a measurable difference.
Also found my braking solution, Harrop still do the standard plus kit

Rod is that 4 wheels, rotors & calipers for that price?
Brad just finished loading a MAFLESS tune into the old beast and wow what a difference. I can now drive it in normal non power mode quite comfortably without it feeling doughy and lifeless, flick it into power mode and it feels super strong with massive wheel spin into second even at half throttle. Very happy. He reckons I will see significant improvement in fuel economy as well. Now to try and source an adaptor for my maf pipe and I am currently just running with MAF unplugged.
Great stuff Rod.
I would go for a 3.46 diff soon as well.
