Default Tank Replacement

Well, it turns out the "dents" in the plastic tank were a little more serious than first thought. Replaced the fuel filter the other day and did not mess with removing the tank at all.

On the drive home today(20 mile ride one way), all was well. Got to the house parked the car in the drive and went inside, about 4:20 ish. Came outside about 5:20 to run an errand and smelt gas. Looked under the car and I had a 1/4 inch stream coming from the passenger side of the tank. It was almost full too. I jacked the car up and put a gas can under it and got about 3 gallons out of it before it stopped.

What is the difference between a Regular CTS tank and a V tank?I cannot find a V specific tank online?

Might as well replace the pump while I'm in there too.

It should only be the pump.

That's what I was thinking. Found one for $100 shipped. Found my leak too, small hole in the bottom. Looks like a screw or a rock went into it.

Thanks
