Fuel Tank Questions.

Now I couldn't find a fuel forum..So I hope this is the right place, if not then by all means move it lol.

Well, I have been smelling gas lately coming from my car and then I noticed a pool of gas underneath my car running off my heath shield.

So me and a Friend move the car into his garage jack it up and start making our way to the gas tank. I discovered quite a few things while having my car on jack stands for the first time. Like I don't have a muffler or a Cat .. only resonator.

So after having to cut my exhaust(scary with all those fumes) moving stabilizing bars and heatsheild..gas just starts pouring from a whole in the middle of my tank -_-'. So...Epoxy it..start wiping off the tank and me and him see 5 or so other parts slowly seeping through and by this point I already knew I needed a new tank.

So..what I wanna know is about the 1LE tanks or the 90-92 Baffled Tanks. Can I keep my original fuel pump and sending unit and all that and sport one of these tanks? I don't have the money to be spending 600$ on a new fuel system. I just need a tank and a good used one..considering I really don't have the 200$ to spend on a new one either.
