Well, finally took a look at the tank ... looks like one of the heat shield started rusting through, and the exhaust started melting the fuel tank
So, a replacement it will have to be ...
Anybody happen to have a spare, or know of a car to part out?

still need to figure out details, but just in case - does anybody happen to have a fuel tank flying around that will fit a 2000 F-Body? |

'hawk seems to have a small leak somewhere on top - only noticed since it was completely filled ... (which I did after coming home from Bitburg) Guess will have to drop the rear end some time soon and see where it's coming from ... Why was there a 4th gen fuel tank in the trunk of the black 3rd gen? |

Hm ... I'll check the parts manual and see if there are different part# listed ... Edit: 99-02 Camaro seems to be the same, no different versions listed ... now if I knew whether the Firebird uses the same tank as the Camaro ... *gg* Anyway, 02 lists another fuel tank with "L36" ... |

don't know if it was a 3rd or 4th gen, but it seemed not to be very old, and since I don't know where it came from... |

The 99 fuel tank should fit. The camaro and Firebird are the same. The tank is made of plastic. @ Garry, It is probably just one of the many plastic hoses on top of the tank leaking. It is a pain to get the tank out but it is way easier than the old metal tank. Good luck. |

No problem Garry glad we could help ya out with the gas tank. Now you can go out and smoke those 911's again because you can fill up(but not with the gas price). Heard you putting new cam and heads on the motor. HMMMM watch out M5 Garrys comen by. |

Street drags would be a possibility, but I don't think the 10bolt can really take it ... hope I don't tear up the rear with what the motor will be dishing out ... |

I'd start saving for a rear end now. It's just a matter of time. |

Thanks a lot  Nah, I guess as long as I stick to street tires, I shouldn't be in too much of a problem ... oh well, and if it does break, Ford it is ...
