If its simply leaking when full, depending on where its leaking from, it may just be that the hose clamp between the fuel intake pipe and the tank has come loose, the rubber joint come out, or the seal for the tank cover (where the fuel pump goes in) has moved or its seal broken. It may not mean that the tank has ruptured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not mean that the tank has ruptured. they have checked everything, including clamps and hoses. and they found cracks on the fuel tank. i suspect it was damaged previously when I had my rear suspension replaced as I did not have any accident whatsoever. 2 workshop asked me the same question if i changed my rear suspension before. they say it is very common for inexperience mechanics to hit the fuel tank while changing it. than again its my words against CNC words....

Tom_kkh 1st Gear July 9, 2012 Author Share July 9, 2012 Successful repairs can save lot of money.

Tigershark1976 Turbocharged July 9, 2012 Share July 9, 2012 (edited) fiber tanks... bro, fiber tank can be patch. Seen it before when I was in Property Mgmt line. The contractor use some putty look a like stuff, mixed with fiber to patch the cracked water tank... its many times bigger than our car fuel tank and I'm sure if that is safe, our fuel tank its just peanut.... Anyway, as I always say, I wont service/ repair my car at places that I dont get to see how they work on it.... After hearing your case..... I will make sure that I do the same thing in the future as well... Edited July 9, 2012 by Tigershark1976 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap. Looks like you have to replace it or get it plastic welded back. Even though the latter is cheaper, neither is going to be very cheap to do. Personally, I would run with getting a new tank via a stockist, then get it replaced somewhere other than CnC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was damaged previously, was there a dip in your FC? I experienced some s--t from my AD last mth. Did something without informing me of the consequencs and made some deep scratches on the inside of my door. Touch it up myself but looks like s--t. Now thinking whether to write in to complain or just leave it. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
