Smell of Gasoline? Need new gas tank?

I smelled gasoline the day after i added Gas in the tank. Neighbor says it smelled very strong this morning, im thinking there is a probable leak.

Will a 1991 Fuel Injected gas tank work on the carburated one? Im also getting pressure test and seeing what i can do for the smoke or steam i saw when i had the radiator cap on.

How much does getting a new gas tank cost?

Re: Smell of Gasoline? Need new gas tank?

check places like rock auto, or gmpartsdirect.com
or call your local auto parts store.
I would imagine 100-200 dollars.
before you change the tank, make sure your gas cap isnt 20 years old with a crusty o-ring seal.
also, I believe all thirdgens have that vent under the gas tank on the drivers side by the brake line junction from body to axle. replace that too.
