mike, i dont think it would work at all. the best bet in my opinion is to clean out your old one and seal it to prevent further rusting with stuff you buy online from summit for example (if the condition is not too bad). it will even fix pinholes if that's all you have. if it's beyond repair you have 2 choices: either find a good used one from a burb/panel or put a fuel cell somehow which would be alot more work to put under the vehicle (i dont trust fuel cells inside, unless its inside a trunk which you dont have). that's my 2 cents. hope that helps. -jrsotojr
