[bsturman92]

hey guys so i was dropping my subframe and it pushed my driveshaft down and ripped the "s" shaped tube on my gas tank open and my full tank went everywhere.. it ripped at the opening to the tank so will i need a new tank??

[Cabriolet]

so fucked.

you can JB weld it for a temp patch but you are way better off getting another one.

Bummer man, been there before but didn't end up ripping it out like yours did.
Throw up a picture so we can see how bad the damage is and if it is repairable, short of replacing the whole tank

Hope you're not in the garage.....be careful of a pilot light on any gas appliances.

yeah i was in my garage and i just filled up my tank to full the morning of this.... ill throw a picture up later... its not repairable guys... i have to get a new gas tank for sure.. i was freaking out as it was draining as i wrote this.. after a few hours its all done and i got to get a good look and its fucked... pretty bad... not to happy but whatever not much to do but to buy a new one.. i foudn one from oriellys but it only gives me n option to do a convertible or sedan one... the sedan one has the "s" shape pipe connectors for it but i wanna be sure it will fit!? anyone know

Talk to Levent at Guten Parts and Service. I just bought one from him for my Late model. Also, RockAuto sells a none OEM brand that I hear a lot of SpecE30 guys use.

sedan and vert share the same tanks. what makes a difference is the early or late model tank. assuming you have a 92 vert you need a late model tank anything 89+ should do.

[ethirtydavid]

Junkyard or parts car tank man, they're probably 300+ new vs $50 or free from entusiast parting.
show us a picture of the gasoline river you have by your house now too ..

If it has the S pipe on it, then it should be the early tank? right?

[IronFreak]

I don't know about Portland but around here all the junkyards are required to puncture the gas tanks.....a new one from RockAuto is $236 shipped.

In Vegas too. I found out because i was trying to source one myself.
Then I stumbled across Amazon selling auto parts like this aftermarket fuel tank that fits my car that's $206 + free ship.

There's a store on eBay (radiator pros or something, search the forum you'll find it) that sells new tanks for like $180+ shipping
