better get back in there and make sure fuel isn't leaking all over into places you dont know about.

wow! you did that 2 years ago!??!!? and you didn't notice that?!?!

go go go spend money!!

for your life now!

 

buy a new car

 

Wonder if he had any Sony Xplod equipment.

 

pm Old School, some nutbutter should take care of that

 

Just weld the holes up.....KIDDING.

Take it to the dealer, tell them you're not that bright, and take the multi-hundred dollar repair bill for a new tank up the *** and chalk it up to a learning experience.

 

MY amps are mounted behind the seats, but not on the floor, mounted vertical. I will checking this out later tonite, lerning from your mistake

 

Funny thing is, I know I've seen a thread like this years ago...

I agree with those saying get it replaced for real at the dealer.

 

Don't worry about it, you're good.

 

crazy times!!

 

Did you graduate from UTI? kidding i had to do it.
Take it out and seal it! drop sub frame then 4 nuts holding it up if i remember correctly. once sealed you shouldnt have any problems. not that easy but once you remove everything on the way you should be able to drop the tank far enough to access the holes. can be done in about a day!

 

+1 I remember someone else haveing the exact same problem. I'm pretty sure there are also alot of ppl out there that have the same problem but just don't know it yet.

along with the other suggestions.....mine is to drive with the windows down untill you get it fix.

 

a stereo shop did the same thing to my civic back in the day..i just had the dealership install a new tank for me.. it is going to run you about $600+ easilycause my civic was about $400

 

Ok thanks for all the advice, I think I will try to take the tank out myself and fix it, As for the current condintion, Ive put the screws that were holding my amps back into there respective holes, and this has solved the problem, of having any smell of the gas vapors anywhere, also after clearing the SES code the light has not come back on, but I am definetly going to fix the tank anyway, so the next guy with my car doesnt remove the screws and light up a cigarette.

Also one other question, about the fuel hose recall for the 2003 Z's when they fix that problem do they remove the tank, if so I wonder if I could get them to patch it up while it was out or exposed, just an idea to save money, as I am a poor college student

 

Let the dealer do it. See if you can work something out with the recall like you mentioned. My understanding is that a lot of parts need to come out to get this done.

Don't try to patch the holes with the tank in place. You'd need to cut metal and the sparks would cause a disaster.

 

WoW

 

One way to fix this...

MIG welding
