1992 v20 Fuel tank replacment

[brianct12]

Hammer - * It's not that bad a job to remove the tank. *My '88 had a plastic tank .... and there was no foam used to secure it. * What Wellcraft did was use long strips of rubber around the sides of the tank - *to keep it tight and from moving. * So, just remove the floor panel covering the tank. *Remove a few wood strips that are over the tank. *Remove the rubber strapping. *Disconnect the fuel fill hose, the vent hose, the outlet fuel line, and remove the gauge sending unit. *Make sure the tank is empty. *Grab ahold real good and lift out. * It is a very tight fit on all 4 sides. * The hardest part was getting the 1.5" dia fuel fill hose pushed far enough out of the way to lift the tank out.

Since the tank is plastic and doesnt "rot" per say - if it does indeed have a leak .... you may be able to have it repaired. Otherwise, good luck at getting another plastic tank the exact same dimensions. You might have to settle for installing a generic plastic tank of a slightly smaller size. Or, pay a premium to have a metal tank fabricated to your dimensions. It could be just that your hose connections might be leaking. I didnt see any signs of deterioration on my "88" plastic tank.
