Signs You Need a Replacement Fuel Tank
A leaking tank is a fire hazard and will fail an inspection. Replace it when you see these signs.
Fuel smell around the vehicle
A raw fuel odor near the rear, especially after filling up, points to a leak at a seam, the filler neck or the top of the tank.
Wet spots or drips under the tank
Damp patches or stains on the tank or the ground beneath it confirm a leak.
Rust, scale or seam damage
Steel tanks rust from the outside along the straps and seams, and from the inside when water sits in the fuel.
Dents or impact damage
A tank crushed by road debris or an off-road hit loses capacity and can pinch the pump or sender.
EVAP codes that keep returning
A cracked tank or a leaking seal at the pump flange can cause evaporative emissions leak codes.

A used OEM fuel tank usually costs up to 70% less than a new one from a dealer, and you get 10% off when you order by phone. The fastest way to an exact price is a free quote using your VIN.
What are the signs of a bad fuel tank?
A fuel smell around the vehicle, wet spots or drips under the tank, visible rust or seam damage, dents from an impact and EVAP leak codes that keep coming back are the common signs.
How do I find the correct fuel tank for my vehicle?
Start with your VIN, then confirm the tank capacity in gallons, fuel type, body style, and on trucks the cab, bed length and wheelbase. The pump opening and filler neck position must match too.
Does a used fuel tank come with the fuel pump?
It depends on the unit. Some tanks are sold bare and some include the pump module or sending unit. We state what is included in your quote and show it in the photos.
Is a used fuel tank safe?
A used OEM tank that is free of leaks, heavy rust and impact damage is the same part your vehicle was built with. Have it installed by a qualified shop with a new pump seal, and check for leaks before driving.
Can a leaking fuel tank be repaired?
Small leaks in steel tanks can sometimes be patched, but repairs are often temporary, and plastic tanks generally cannot be repaired safely. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Do your used fuel tanks come with a warranty?
Yes. Every used fuel tank comes with a 30-day parts-only warranty. Labor costs are not covered. Full terms are in our warranty policy.
Do you ship used fuel tanks across the United States?
Yes. Fuel tanks ship with tracking across the United States. Depending on size, your fuel tank goes by parcel carrier or freight, and your quote confirms which. Tracking details are emailed within 2 days of shipment. See the shipping policy for details.
