frosty timber Dec 9, 2025, 11:46 PM

frosty timber Dec 9, 2025, 11:49 PM

#

You can probably get one for as little as 150-300$ from a local scrap yard

frosty timber so its fucked?

you could try a temporary fix with jb weld, but anything short of removing it and welding it, ye its cooked

Here are all of the vehicles with the same fuel tank.

Okok

#

Im so fucking stupid

I can also provide you with technical documentation with step by step instructions to replace it yourself, if you have the necessary tools and knowhow.

frosty timber Dec 9, 2025, 11:53 PM

#

I do have the tools but not the space and rn its winter I used to so most repairs outside

#

This isn't really an outside in the snow kind of job, unfortunately, unless you're very desperate.

These are the prerequisite part removals before removing the gas tank can even begin.

also any shop who isnt trying to shaft you shouldnt charge you an insane amount if you supply your own parts as this job isnt particulalrly a ball ache

vagrant stone also any shop who isnt trying to shaft you shouldnt charge you an insane amount ...

yeah on a lift this isn't a big deal

#

labor book time is 5.6 hours

depending on where you live shop labor will be somewhere around 130-150/hr

on the low side that is $728, plus the cost of the used tank

#

and then shop materials tax and whatever else they get you for

fiery mango labor book time is 5.6 hours depending on where you live shop labor will be som...

130? zamn we only get to charge 72 max for work and 120 for specialist work in my garage in the uk

#

72 is 95 dollars

#

Okok i see

#

Thank you imma try to find a used tank

fiery mango Dec 10, 2025, 12:21 AM

#

I'd like to ask you to properly jack up the car and get us some better photos before hitting the buy button tho if you would. I'm like 99% sure, but I wanna be 100% sure you need the tank.

frosty timber Dec 10, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

Okay the cars at the mecanic he said he would tell me what i need hopefully not the gas tank 🙁 cause its my first ever car I maintained it so well the day i barely slept and got a flat i fucked up the gas tank and its so depressing to me

#

I always do my own tire changes and i cant believe this happened to me
