Corroded Fuel Tank - Verso

[wotnoshoeseh]

Hi all,

A colleague has just purchased a 2006 Corolla Verso 1.6 petrol.  After inspection by mechanic to diagnose a fuel leak, he has been told that the fuel tank is rusted through, which seems a bit rough considering it's only 10 year old.

 

Anyway, does anyone have a source for replacement tanks for the Corolla Verso?

How much and where?

 

Thanks in advance,

D

Seems to be plenty on eBay though will cost a bit more to get it across the water.

Think I  would be asking your mechanic to thoroughly check all the brake and petrol lines as well if the tanks corroded away.

Did find the signs of corrosion on my rear brake pipes the other month,  where they connect to the rear flexibles.
