Best automotive replacement fuel tanks according to redditors

A few of my friends have gotten a WiFi Oil Gauge on Amazon that seems to work well. I have not personally tested it, but I have heard good things.

Maybe it's time for a Wi-Fi connected oil tank gauge. No affiliation or experience with this one - just the first result when I looked for one. https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Oil-Gauge-Heating-Compatible/dp/B01M2VATHS

I bought this a year or two ago and am really liking it, although its a little pricy. It hooks up to your phone and sends email/texts when you’re low.

Did a little googling and found this thing:

I honestly am thinking on the path of a basic sender in the tank that gives a level reading via variable resistance. Then connect this to something like a RaspberryPi to interface with HomeAssistant.

But I have not worked with HomeAssistant so I am unsure what kinds of info it can take/handle.

I ride with a 22L backpack and a 5L jerry can strapped to the back. I go solo and haven't yet gathered the courage to do a night out (though it's on my bucket list), so it's always been day trips.

Goal is to get a Rotopax and mount it flat on the back and then a duffle bag on top, plus a backpack (I have 22L and 36L), would be more than enough for a few days.

Spectra makes an upgrade for the rear tank I dont know about a forward one though. https://www.amazon.com/Spectra-Premium-F26E-Fuel-Pickup/dp/B000C7TW5K

I've replaced the fill neck twice (on a 98S and an 01L), I hope you have tiny hands and good grip because getting the end out of the rubber hose above the subframe is challenging. Also do not buy the dorman neck, it doesn't fit right. The spectra one is a perfect fit https://www.amazon.com/Spectra-Premium-FN664-Fuel-Filler/dp/B006GZAQOI

Besides the different sender/pump and different dimensions to clear emissions components?

I would browse amazon and such and see what reviews state, like these:

http://www.amazon.com/Versachem-90180-Heavy-Duty-Fuel-Repair/dp/B002N5JAO2


http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-09101-Fuel-Tank-Repair/dp/B000ALDYIO


You can easily weed out the idiots of reviews that didn't follow directions or clean the surface and prep correctly, that does make all the difference.

I would hope you aren't inside the tank as you are under the car repairing, any repairs needed from inside I would highly recommend the replacement tank instead, but if you meant what else should you look for while under the car? You can always look at the gas tank strap and ensure it isn't damaged or screwed up in any way. Also if you do end up replacing the tank then get some undercoating spray in a can and after installed and tested then take the strap down, spray coating where the strap wass and while still wet replace strap, then coat the rest of the tank thoroughly, it makes a world of difference and helps bind the strap from moving as well.

This is what you want. Dead simple to install yourself in minutes, customer support is great and it has been reliable. Note that the readings are not very accurate when tank is filled, but that’s because it is tuned to be more accurate as tank empties.

Is there some reason it cannot be patched? JB weld baby. They even make a special gas tank repair kit. How big is this hole? Is it rusted out or something? How about an after market plastic tank? It might be a little smaller but I would think that it would be a lot cheaper.

​

​

JB Weld Gas Tank Kit is $12

​

tank is only $150 on Amazon

​

That will be $500 consultation fee for saving you more than $1,000 it is a great deal.
