Gas Tank Bolts Broke Off! Help!

I installed a new pump in my X and the rusted bolts snapped off when the top of the tank came off even after I soaked in PB . Only have three left. I think I've seen another thread on this but didn't find any fixes for it. Figured I would restart it and see. Pleeaaassse...

If they are side by side to one another its going to be best to replace the tank . Not to hard to replace just have to find a good one .

They are and yes it's leaking. Found some used lancer ones on eBay, but I've asked questions and looked at the pics and can't find anyone who can confirm 6 bolts sticking out of the top. Are the Evo X tanks different?

I believe the gas tanks are different on the Lancers just because the Evo would need a driveshaft tunnel .
