Well PITA was right, the tank is out and im somewhat glad after all that it really was necessary. I found the crack right where most others have, in the recession for the ebrake cable routing. "Yes american toyota, ext. #8 please"
Of course this would happen the day i was so overly proud to find the one pump in town that didnt cut you off at $75
Found one 80 in a junkyard w/in 100miles for 250 if i come pull it and there is a totalled rig a w/in a mile of my place but it took an extreme tumble down the hwy at 75 so im not sure of the integrity of the tank. Id love to just patch it up w/ some petroleum resistant paste (tiger paste/JB) but from the sounds of it no one has had luck w/ the repairs.
