Someone drilled a hole in my gas tank...

[Applesack]

Well as the title says someone (crackhead probably) drilled a whole in my gas tank and stole my gas. So not only did I lose about $45 in gas I had had to miss work and pay $250 to be towed home. Plus now I have to spend my weekend replacing my gas tank.

Does anyone in the washington(oregon?) area know where I could get a 1997-2002 gas tank?

There's a B&R wrecking yard in Corvallis, OR that always has a few TJ's, can't remember if I saw any tanks last time I was there though. Probably too far away, but thought I'd mention it

B&R in Tacoma has four tanks listed at $75.97.

Time to go for an aftermarket gas tank skidplate like Savvy makes that covers the whole tank.

Not a bad idea. I have to sleeve my filler tube with a piece of flexible exhaust tubing to keep the tweekers from slicing it open

Tweakers just drill through the slots on the sides of the new skid.
