I was noticing when puting in a second amp for my sub that, the screw used to ground my first amp was drilled in the floor right behind back seat. I thought that it was in the tank... and yes... when unscrewing it....pssssst.............. there goes the fuel presure and smell of gas. Man I was sooo pissed at the fools that installed my stereo. Now I have to replace the tank. Will 88 up to a 91 tank fit in my 91 STD? Or is it only 90-91 tanks that will only fit??? Please let me know, have to get the tank tomorrow.

you can just patch the tank together, Loctite has a gas tank repair kit for small holes such as that, its like 8 bux at any auto store.

I might try that for now until I find a cheap tank.

put the screw back in it. It held before why would it not do the job now. maybe some of the hole repair stuff also over the top of the screw
