As soo as I removed my head from my ***, I saw a small suare piece of metal that had been soldered?? or something to the bottom of the tank, did I ruin this thing or can I JB weld this piece back on the tank. Any advice would be appreciated....Terry1218 | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | It needs to go to a Radiator/gas tank shop & be soldered on. If the tank is full of rust now would be a good time to buy a new one. Nothing is worse than an old truck breaking down all the time because of a dirty gas tank.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

you will need to fix or replace in the right way.
Just my 2 cents .

If you get a new one most come with a drain plug in the bottom. The outlet (i think by code) is part of the sending unit on top. I had to buy a new tank and a new sending unit but it was definitely worth the money.

It was an exact duplicate of the stock tank I took out and was easily installed and now I have no dirty gas problems. Well worth the $160.00 price tag. | | |
