My rear shock cross brace rusted out. While in the process of replacing it I had to shift the fuel lines. When doing so they suddenly went slack and I could tell something broke. Started the truck to test and sure enough I had gas pouring out from the top of the tank. I dropped the tank and the top two tubes are broken. Rusted out.
You can see the broken nipple at center, there should be two tubes out the top, probably inlet and outlet.. The other one is broken out also. So my question is, can I just replace the round gasket unit that these are part of, or do I need to replace the entire tank? There are 8 or so little hex heads on top so it looks like it comes out separate. It's rusted, so I doubt it will just unscrew, but maybe possible.
Yes, I've already checked and my tank was replaced under recall in 1992.
