feck_on_a_stick Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Anyone know where I can get a cheap new replacement petrol tank for an MB6? I got out of the car over the weekend and smelt the unmistakable smell of petrol so jacked the back of the car up and discovered that I've another petrol leak. After getting the fuel and brake lines replaced at the start of June I'd just hoped it was related to that and something was loose, but looks like my tank is actually rotten. I've not had this car a year yet and excluding exhaust and breathing mods I must be around £1,600 now in repair bills, brakes and tyres. I've to leave it in with my mechanic tomorrow to get confirmation but I'm expecting the worst. I really can't afford this sh*t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ouch That's one of the suspects of my running issues, that it may be the tank rotting from the inside! Feel for you mate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feck_on_a_stick Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Thanks dude. New replacement tanks seem to be pretty hard to find. I hope yours isn't so bad. I think I've had enough of mine now, so I'm going to get this leak sorted and seriously think about selling it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the holiday out of the way then save for something more interesting and hopefully more reliable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10000rpm Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I have a few tanks here if needed drop me a pm. Thanks @Grant 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feck_on_a_stick Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Thanks Grant. I'd imagine a rust free used tank might be just as difficult but @10000rpm you've got a PM buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Worth a try might ! I'd hate to get a price from honda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feck_on_a_stick Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm going to give Honda a try later but I'm expecting an arse raping. Cheapest I've found for a brand new one is £150 plus shipping. Dearest I've found was £529.79 from Lings!! Unfortunately I'm back on to Gumtree and usual classifieds for something newer and non-Jap.
