So I pulled the trunk carpet and was surprised the trunk floor was bone dry ! Not one drop of fluid or any evidence there ever was a leak . I am only 15 minutes from Jakes shop so off I went . Blake pressurized the system and we could hear a slow leak up near the top of the tank . I have heard they sometimes split up on top near the filler neck . So I bit the bullet and had them order the OEM tank for me , yes expensive but Blake said they have had such bad luck with lower priced tanks that I decided to do this once and be done . The fun will begin once the tank comes in
