Tell me about my Fuel Tank Replacement
The fuel tank stores the petrol or diesel that powers your engine. Over time, tanks can become corroded, cracked, or damaged by road debris, leading to leaks and safety hazards. A damaged fuel tank not only wastes fuel but also increases the risk of fire and environmental contamination. Replacing the fuel tank ensures safe storage and delivery of fuel to your engine.
What is a fuel tank replacement?
This service involves removing the damaged or leaking fuel tank and fitting a new one. The mechanic will also inspect and reconnect the fuel pump, fuel lines, filler neck, and sensors to ensure the entire fuel system is working correctly.
Why do you need a fuel tank replacement?
A leaking or damaged fuel tank is a serious safety risk. Escaping fuel can ignite, create harmful fumes, and prevent your car from holding enough fuel to operate. Replacement ensures safe operation and compliance with safety standards.
Common signs you need a fuel tank replacement
- Fuel leaking under the vehicle
- Strong petrol or diesel smell around the car
- Visible rust, cracks, or dents in the tank
- Poor fuel economy due to leaks
- Check Engine Light or EVAP system warning
What happens during a fuel tank replacement?
A mechanic will:
- Drain any remaining fuel safely
- Disconnect the fuel pump, lines, and filler neck
- Remove the damaged fuel tank
- Install a new tank with fresh seals and fittings
- Reconnect all components and refill with fuel
- Test the system for leaks and proper fuel delivery
How much does a fuel tank replacement cost?
Fuel tank replacement typically costs $900–$2,000+, depending on the vehicle, labour involved, and whether the fuel pump or other components are replaced at the same time.
Is it unsafe to drive with a damaged fuel tank?
Yes. Driving with a cracked, rusted, or leaking fuel tank is extremely unsafe due to fire risk and fuel loss. If you suspect a tank problem, the vehicle should not be driven until the tank is replaced.
