hey guys
i posted a while ago about a leaking tank on my 92 rs.
i read about the recall and a site to buy new tanks.
ok, i called chevy they said there were "no campaigns", i emailed NTHSA and am waiting for there response. (its only been about 3 days)
if this recall thing does not pan out due to the time element, i believe it was issued in 94, i'll buy a new tank. GM wants $400, gastanks.com has one for $170. Has anyone bought from gastanks.com? are the reputable? do they have quality products?
thats a big price difference.
thanks
john
