    Gas tank

    My gas tank is rusted and has started leaking quite a bit. I'm really trying to avoid paying $300+ for a new gas tank, so I'm going to see if I can get it repaired.

    If not, is there a cheaper alternative to the OEM gas tank? I've read about people finding aftermarket gas tanks for cheap but I can't seem to get a definitive answer as to where they're available.

    Thanks

    If the tank has rusted to the point of leaking, it is beyond repair. A cheaper alternative to a new tank is to find a good used one at a salvage yar.

            Well technically you can cut the whole piece out with radios of rust and re-weld it but that would cost you more then the gas tank it self.
