Replacing the fuel tank in your car or vehicle is not an easy task, and not all fuel tanks are created equal. While we highly recommend you seek guidance with Canadian Tire’s auto repair experts, you should at least know what to expect when replacing your fuel tank. Whether you are doing it alone or are doing it with the help of a professional, here are some things you need to know to get you started.
What fuel tank parts do I need for my vehicle?
You will need different fuel tank parts for your vehicle. These parts include a fuel hose, a filler tank, a fuel tank, tank strap, gasket and more. Replacing a fuel tank means you have a lot of different parts to choose from. Make sure you are choosing the parts that are best for your vehicle.
How to tell if I need a new fuel tank for my vehicle?
There are a few telltale signs that can determine whether you need a new fuel tank for a car. The easy signs are if your fuel tank is dented or damaged, you should replace it. This is because a dented tank can cause damage to the fuel pump.
If you are experiencing a lot of leaks or smell gas, that is also a clear sign that you should replace your fuel tank.
What you might need an expert to detect, is corrosion. If you have corrosion in your fuel tank, it can cause rust and will also negatively affect your car’s ability to run properly. Corrosion is not easy to detect, so looking to a professional would be ideal to make sure your vehicle is in top shape.
How much does a new fuel tank cost to replace?
The cost of a fuel tank replacement can be quite costly, but it can vary from car to car. Consult with the experts at Canadian Tire’s Auto Service department to assess what you need for your car and the parts you need to replace.
