Werewilf Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi guys, I've been on the hunt for a replacement fuel tank for my 1986 Manta gte for a while now. Unfortunately my current tank is beyond repair due to corrosion so my only option is to replace the whole tank. Is there anyone out there that can help me at all? Any contacts or even anyone breaking down a car? Thanks very much and any help at all would be really appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davep Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Is your car a coupe or a hatch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werewilf Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi, It's a hatch, also an injection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Ccorrosion in the tank can be repaired, there are risks to it if you do not know what you are doing. But with experience and patients you can clean the tank of residue, cut out the rotten area's and then weld in new steel. You can also convert a standard tank to injection by adding a baffle inside it and using an in tank pump. Or if you do not want to play with it yourself there are plenty of companies out there that will repair and reline your tank for you. Whilst it isn't that cheap you will then have a tank that is good for another 30 years. Also its a lot easier than finiding a good injection hatch tank.

davep Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Pity its a hatch, I only have a tank for an injection coupe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
