rockfangd Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 hi everyone. I went fishing today and i had just filled my tank, when i parked at the incline where i fish i started to smell gas. so i looked and i see it dripping from the back. My question is being this is a 94 with all original 100,000 miles even though the fuel pump and sending unit work fine should i bother getting new of those too or would i be better off switching everything to the new tank, as of right now i can get a tank, straps, strainer, and fuel pump for 186, but without the pump it will only cost me 100. any insight is highly appreciated.

ManicMechanic Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 For only $86 more, I'd go for the full monte. I'd also make sure your hard lines aren't rusted and your rubber lines aren't rotted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Is this a common issue with our cars? I have read and so many people have had the gas tank replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 very common. they rot at the seam at the rear of the tank. salt likes to sit on the seam and voila holey tank lol. I have done so many tanks. I will post a pic tomorrow of the one i just did in a 95 chevrolet lumina. classic example. lol i can almost stick my fist in the holes lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
