I would say 5 hours is a good labor charge for removing and installing tank.The Book time is 3.5 hours,but does not allow time for draining and refilling tank.I would go to another shop or dealer.Talk to your friends and co workers to see who they use and recommend.If it only leaks when it is running it probably is not the tank,it is probably a line or the fuel tank sending units.I have seen them leak where the lines go into the body under drivers side rear seat.Also in trunk if you remove cargo area carpet and look all the way forward on the floor you will see 2 access covers for getting to the fuel pump and sending units.Remove these covers and look to see if it is wet with fuel anywhere near there.There is lines on top of the tank that are hard to see without removing the tank that can rust and leak.
very almost something and each little thing. it would help to comprehend what number miles are on the odometer. If the engine easy has "been on" for extra suitable than an afternoon or 2, one difficulty is which you're abusing the motor vehicle. Take it to a Dealership for analysis. They comprehend the motor vehicle best. in case you have been changing oil and clear out in many situations, and doing all of the different counseled maintenance, your maximum possibly issues are: an emissions sensor failure, a timing belt difficulty, undesirable gas, gas injector issues (in all danger as a results of undesirable gas), and particularly some different nasties. Any time you detect a drop off in overall performance, there is something incorrect. verify your gas mileage each time you top off (it somewhat is elementary and takes approximately 2 minutes). different than a drop of a pair of miles according to gallon in chilly climate, your mileage would desire to be approximately consistent in case your driving conduct are. See a great substitute? you have have been given a difficulty.
