New fuel tank/gas tank for 02 civic?
Hey guys, i think this in the right place (sorry if it isnt! 
)
So I hit an object on the highway last night (previously ran over chair) and I realized once I got home that I gashed my fuel tank and was leaking like a mad man. Aside from Honda OEM parts, and repairs which we are looking into, any suggestions on an aftermarket part for a fuel tank??
It is an 02 Civic EX 1.7 if that helps.
Thanks!

try and find a used one from junkyard or ebay. the aftermarket ones often dont fit right or are missing hardware.

^exactly.
if a junkyard isnt an option, just buy it form http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/ which is the cheapest OEM parts seller (that i generally use)
(i believe its only like 176$ from hondaautomotive)

you should check also the fuel pump, I have the same problem short time ago and in my case the object also destroy the fuel pump assembly and the pump. Well in my case my car stop and doesn't start, if your's does start then I believe is just the tank. My ride is like your's, a 01 civic, for this purpose the same thing.
