1998 Sonata cracked gas tank


  

S -> 1998 Sonata cracked gas tank (2/29/2008 7:29:15 PM)

1998 Sonata, 150,000 miles.  This is mechnically sound car but Filled up tank recently and noticed gas smell and dripping.  The tank is cracked at the top.  My question is: tanks are at least $270 + the labor to install, not sure if I want to spend that. Any source for used tanks out there?  Any experiences to share?  I wonder if present tank is safe to use, if only a few gallons at a time in the bottom of tank.  Thanks for your input.  I checked on recalls, it was pressure tested at the dealer before I owned it, and checked out ok.  The dealer says they will not replace the tank.

I would *not* use a tank out of a junk yard; it's going to be old and likely to leak as well.  I think it changing it out yourself is do-able if you do any of your own work.  People do their own fuel pumps all the time; this just takes it one step further.
