i changed my fuel filter today the problem i have is that when i was tightening the bolts that secure the fuel pump i broked the stud so how do i fix this??

 

i did the same thing... if its only one than dont worry about it, the others are holding it just fine.

 

have you ever had a leak with 1 broked??

 

no not yet (knock on wood). you still have that seal on the inside right? if so than your good.

 

ill check on the seal but thanks.
what i did was that i filled up the car with gas and went to drive and i moved the car from side to side and then i looked and had no leak but ill see what i can do
anymore ideas out there??

 

mine has had 5 for about 1.5 years. no leaks

 

thats a real relieve thanks, did you ever try to fix it?

 

and i thought i was the only one that did this

 

know we are 3!

 

I was hoping someone would have posted a resolution for the predicament that I'm in. I just switched out my fuel pump and now have only one stud left. I have serious leaking and need to figure this out quickly.
Anyone have any ideas, feel free to pass them along.

 

BUMP^^^ Can anybody please offer some advice on this? It would be greatly appreciated! Mine were rusted badly and snapped as well....

 

Back from the dead. This just happened to me yesterday. Pretty sure the only real solution is to buy a new gas tank. Even if you drill out the studs and JB weld them on to the other side with new studs, that would be a temporary fix.

Looking for a whole new gas tank now.

FWIW, those studs tighten to just a few INCH lbs.
They shouldn't ever break. Be careful

 

yeah, I should have known this. What a rookie mistake on my part.

MN106179 is the tank part number and I can't seem to find it anywhere for a decent price Might just make a WTB thread and see if anyone here has one around.

Expensive lesson learned.

if you are planning on replacing the tank then you will be removing it anyway, so just take it out and bring it to a local fab shop and have them repair it.
