Fuel system access panel?

I've got a fuel leak in my 1988, and I'm wondering if there is an access panel of some sort beneath the carpet in the back to look at the top of the tank, the fuel pump and the lines from the top, or if dropping the tank is the only way to get a peek at what exactly is leaking back there.

I looked in my FSM and couldn't find any reference to a panel, but I might have been looking in the wrong place, heh. I haven't had a chance to go poking around under the carpet yet either. Any help or insight would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Should be the same on all WD21's.
