It's amazing what accumulates in an old car. Damned squirrels!
Actually, the job was a lot easier than I expected, considering how badly the rust monster has bitten my car.

Ooh that looks worse than the tank I replaced in my girlfriend's car that was leaking. They usually leak where the seam is. See any damp spots on the tank? Or noticed puddles or smelled gas?
I was able to get a used southern tank for $140 cdn damn thing looked brand new.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Inspect the fuel pipes (and brake lines too) that run up the drivers side, they tend to rust out near that back wheel.

Yep, found a hole by that part of the tank. I found a new tank on ebay for $112. I'm going to replace the fuel filler neck also. If it isn't leaking now, it will soon.
