What's involved
What this repair actually is.
A rusted-through or road-damaged tank leaks fuel and can't be safely patched. We drain and drop the old tank, transfer or replace the pump module and sending unit, install the new tank with new straps where needed, and leak-test the complete system. Tank design varies enormously between vehicles, so we confirm exact pricing after seeing the car.
Symptoms
How you can tell.
- Steady fuel smell that never goes away
- Wet, dripping tank visible under the rear of the car
- Fuel level drops overnight while parked
- Rust holes or road damage found during other repairs
- Failed inspection for a fuel leak
If you delay
A leaking tank is a fire hazard and an environmental violation — the leak only grows, and fuel odor in the cabin is a health risk.
