There are several ways to repair plastc tanks. The best is welding the plastic (heating and melting it back together), however on a gas tank this is a NO-NO! (at least with any gas or fumes in it). Replacement tank is available from you dealer. Also the safest way to go.

Part# 0570-066 TANK, GAS-ASSY Price $131.95 USD

A good auto bodyshop should be able to plastic weld your tank. They do it quite often on the newer cars with plastic bumpers. To avoid an explosion, you could fill the tank with exhaust fumes. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
