Tank out and yes I have the same crack as everyone else. Amazing how much gas comes out of a such a small crack... Tank looks great after 220K miles (I gave it a bath on the outside--it was covered in Utah dust). The fuel pump sock looks so good I'm not even going to change it...
For those...
Sorry about the one-at-a-time questions--hopefully this is the last one.
All the instructions I've seen for dropping the tank say to remove the fuel pump first. I'm going to pick a used tank tomorrow. On the donor car can I cut the electrical/rubber lines and remove the tank with the fuel...
OK, I removed seats (which I had just reinstalled to tote baby and grandma around) and carpet and fuel pump cover. By careful inspection of what I can see it seems that the only likely culprit for my leak is the aforementioned fatigue crack.
However, I have a question: how come my tank...
And I too, join the leaky gas tank club ('94). Probably the same problem because it began spontaneously (city driving) and only leaks when full. Having only the one car available in Utah it will be a fun repair for me. I will try to source a used tank for a quick swap as the local dealer...
