Okay, so I had a drink tonight, and just bit the bullet and drilled a small access hole in the left side fender well. Some news (not sure if it's good or bad). The panel is a thin fiberglass panel - definitely not structural in nature. It definitely sounds different on the left side than the right side though - the left side sounded thin and hollow when tapped on, the right side sounds thick and heavy. As if one side sounds like thin fiberglass and the other side sounds like thick wood.

I stuck the camera into the small access hole and all I can see is foam. The entire chamber has been sealed with that "inner wall" sealing foam. So, at least on the left side, I know what needs to be done now. I need to cut a portion of this thin fiberglass panel out to make an access hole so that I can scrape out the foam and reach the tank connection (on the left side). Presumably, left and right would be the same, but they certainly don't sound that way.

I'll cut the panel out with my Dremmel tool and perhaps a hand saw (sometimes more accurate). Then I should be able to reach in there and dig out the foam and actually see the bottom tank connection. Looks like going through the fender well (at least on the left side) is the right thing to do - this is a very thin piece of fiberglass.

I'll update tomorrow...
