For a little while the car smelled like petrol inside. I thought it was the bad valve cover gasket. Then once day I noticed a puddle under the rear of car after having it parked for a day. I was in denail, took it to the scrapyard for parts, then noticed the SAME puddle!! CONFIRMED: My fuel tank is leaking.

I immediately took everything out of the rear compartment to access the tank. The hoses look fine, but the tank looks rusted around the edges and there is a dent in the bottom. I need to take a better look tonight while there is still light, but want to prepare for the worst: Purchasing a new fuel tank!

What options are there? IPD & FCP GROTON would be places i would go & there are NO 140s in the scrapyard. Sigh....
