OEM gas tank Evo 8

Ran into the issue of the fuel pump sender bracket bolts snapping on me so I'm looking for a tank that is in good shape

Wow, this just happened to me. I feel your pain. Let me show you how I fixed the problem.

I wish you the best. Dropping the tank was not fun, but if you're going to do it anyway you might as well give it a try.

Make sure you read until the third page.

Thanks for the input it looks like it came out pretty sweet in my case I would have to do just about every single one cause I only have two left the owner before me had 3 broken already
The pain of corrosive bolts haunts me lol

I hearya man. I feel like this is one particular part of the car that could have been better engineered. The rsx for example has a screw type seal to remove the fuel pump. Not some silly micro 8mm bolt and nut combo that has no chance of withstanding even wrist strength.

Not confidence inspiring at all, particularly in the face of gasoline.
