There aren't any replacement fuel tanks for 1999 pau s/c? Went to swap fuel pump. Locking ring and tank are fused as one now. The locking tabs are disintegrating as is the locking ring. Need options !!!!

That's odd. There are all kinds of tanks listed for a '99 LeSabre but none for the PA. I wonder what the difference(s) would be.
Short of a junk yard tank, which might not be in any better condition, the repair could turn really difficult.

Stopped by a local repair shop(family owned). The owner sounds like he came through for me. He found a decent tank(used) from a parts dealer he uses and ordered it. We will see how it looks. PRAYING!!!!

Good luck! Finding a good used one is a crap-shoot. As long as the top mount is in good condition it COULD be siamesed onto your old tank and TIGed in place. Welding gas tanks is not as difficult/risky as it may sound so long as the proper precautions are exercised.
