Hi,
We have a 1998 GX which has developed a leak at the tank neck. Of course it's behind the shielding, so the leak is noticeable inside the vehicle. If it was on the other side of the shielding, it probably wouldn't be a problem.
It appears as though the nipple that threads into the tank neck could be removed and resealed, although I'm not positive about that. We have a couple of certified inspectors on our staff, but nobody is certified to do the tank work.
A new tank is out of the question at $6,300 (local dealer quote - I'm sure I could get one cheaper). Does anyone here know of a certified tank repair facility in Northern CA? The tank is good until 2013, so I'd like to get a couple more years out of this great little car.
Thanks in advance for any info.
