Yesterday, I noticed my fuel line leaking. It ended up being the return line. I ended up replacing the line. When hooking the rubber line on top of the gas tank, the nipple broke. There was about 2" left so I slid the return line over it and put 2 clamps. I tried to be delicate. Major fuel smell now and its leaking out of that nipple. Tank is severely rotted. I am going to drop it tomorrow night to find out what is going on and if there is a solid point I can make a return hole and weld a pipe. I have a feeling its not going to be salvageable. They do not make after market tanks, its illegal to ship a used tank, and car-parts.com doesn't list a tank even close to me to pick up.
So I was looking at this: click
Installing this isnt an issue but then I have to get a new sending unit. I would like to retain my stock sending unit. I could probably figure something out with retaining it but has anyone ever dealt with an issue like this when swapping there tank? I would be open to the idea of running an inline pump instead. I dont mind giving up the luxury of knowing how much fuel I have in my tank. I currently have a wally 255 HP pump.
