Fuel Tanks 200 86

posted by  someone claiming to be James Burnapp on  Thu Jun 28 10:35 CST 2001 [RELATED]

The rust has finally got my fuel tank, and I guess I need to replace it quick as most of the lower half of the tank seems to be permanently wet. It appears to be leaking from both the back and the front, and as I live on a hill, it doesn't matter which way I park it, it still leaks.

Can anyone confirm for me that the fuel tanks are the same for all the years, (mine's an '86 sedan) before I take a trip to the junk yard to find a replacement? In fact, are they the same for wagons too?

Also, aside from the usual common sense and good practice, if anyone knows of any nasty experiences waiting for me on this task, or any tricks and tips, I'd really like to hear from them.

Thanks all,
