gas leak

[upton7]

so i was drivin through town a few days ago and i saw my old 2001 v6 at a shop i sold it to one of my freinds and i noticed yesterday he drove by and didn't even wave at me so i figured there was something wrong with it so i called his buddy and he said there was a leak in the gas tank i never noticed it when i had it the mechanic charged him 600 dollars i wouldn't think a gas tank for a mustang would be over 100 dollars and i've taken out a tank b4 and it only takes an hour or less to take it out and put it back in did he get screwed over?

yea he got screwed over, you can replace a fuel pump an what not in under a hour.

A new gas tank would be between 100-200 bucks I cant remember but ive seen new ones before. drop the old one, and put the new one in and ur done.

How recently did he buy the car?

[hottcobra]

yeah, sorry but he got burned

It may have been the rubber seal next from the fill tube to the gas tank.

$20 fix.

A "new" gas tank is $500, but shouldn't be replaced unless it gets smashed. He probably got screwed.
