Thanks for all the suggestions. The opening behind the fuel tank was visible from the rear compartment behind the water heater. I just did not realize what I was looking at until I stuck something through the hole. I used a tape measure to fish the messenger under the fuel tank and through the hole and then it was easy to grab the messenger once I was contorted appropriately in the rear compartment. I should be able to finish this job next time down. I will report back at some point on how well it all works. Dave
