Hi fellow 6gc members, got a dilemma. my gt has a gas leak from the tank. The toyota dealer wants $500 for a new one. Anyone can tell me how to fix this leak or know of another toyota model that uses the same tank? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the tank is leaking then get one from a salvage yard.

Ill have to see if i can find the name of it
Bit they make stuff that you can put inside your tank an it make like a rubber blatter in your gas tank Youll have to take your tank out to do it but that might be something to look into an since you have ti dry your tank out to do it you could probably weld the crack shut before you do the liner -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy

That will be dificult since i live in puerto rico and there are only a handful of 6gc on the island. I've called over 80 salvage and junkyard and got nothing. -------------------- 1980 mitsubishi champ- stolen
