I have been smelling gas really strong for the last week. Tonight I crawled under the car and found a small hole on the bottom of the tank and when I put my ear next to it I can hear air hissing either in or coming out of the tank. Will JB Weld solve my problem or am I gonna have to go at this in a different and more expensive way. Please,any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

yeah... my common sence says "dont weld (which creates sparks) by a gas tank"...
Have your friend light a match behind the car and see if u can beat the flames =)
Seriously tho, get a new tank ASAP all someone has to do is flip a cigarette out of either your car or the car on the side of you and *POOF*

And until you get a new tank, don't drive your car. In fact, lay under the rear end and enjoy the intoxicating aroma of gasoline....mmmm....brain cells dying.....::drools:: so delicious....hey that pink bunny is back!

I had the same problem this weekend, only the problem was a leaking gas line. I went to Toyota and they said that the part was discontinued. The guy there was pissed that Toyota would discontinue a part from a late model car. He told me that he would talk to the people in the factory in California to make a part for me. I find out tomorrow.
how do you take out the gas tank?

sorry for bringing this back from the dead but I really have a serious problem with my gas tank... it has a small leak. Can somebody shed a light on me and tell me if there is a quick solution for this? I'm really tight with money right now due to a newly purchased house so I'm not looking to replace the gas tank for the next two months. It is not leaking too much but it is leaking. My 17 months old daughter also rides the car for 30 mins every friday and sunday so I don't want to put her health in jeopardy. Please help ya'll...

go to autozone or wherever and get some gas tank mender. then as soon as possible replace the gas tank.

I'd say to start hitting up your junkyards or LKQ's. or maybe craigslist looking for one... You can use an epoxy for now, but it's not going to be the best idea for a long term solution.
If you get a used one... Junkyards or LKQ it'll probably be like 50-70 bucks i would imagine... Maybe less... IDK for sure on this car... But it shouldn't be over a hundred. Toyota dealership would probably chage 150 or so...

Thanks D-Man, unfortunately, there aren't any celicas at our local junkyard. I've been there a couple of times in a span of 4 months and didn't see any Celica. Not even the older gens. I have been looking at Ebay and craiglist too but can't seem to find any as of now. I might just try the dealership this friday, I'll keep looking for now.

Craigslist.com? (usually a long shot, but comes thru from time to time)
Search the F/S threads for someone who's parting out...
Here, check THIS out... Now these guys are HORRIBLY expensive, for anything, but this parts break down should help you out when you goto remove it, Plus, it'll get you part numbers.
Hope it helps.

SPI has reasonably priced fuel tanks, but they dont sell to the public...only to retailers and shops. they DO sell to autozone though, try napa, autozone, pepboys, etc.

first is ur tank leaking via rust or does it have a hole in it from scraping or getting poked?.....either or there are a few products out there you can use to fix it and if you prep your tank real good and fallow instructions u will be fine....iv tryed fiber glass repairs to my tank and it worked well...this was on a 95 200sx...top of the tank was rusted and gas was seaping threw.... fiber glass cloth and resin fixed that....then i poked a hole in it one day while driving on a dirt road and i bought a "puddy" product that you just need together in ur hand...works like epoxy and then stuck that in the whole after preping the surface and i smoothed it out around the ridge and it worked ....worked well for a year then my tank rusted out around the fille neck so i just bought a new one for 300 bucks..but yea depending on your damage try those

No offense bro, But that's a BAD idea. Unless you're using a vinyl ester resin... Epoxy resin (the only kind sold anywhere except for a speciality store) Will dissolve in gasoline.

well i assume thats what it was cause it was a gas tank repair kit came with a woven fiber mat you cut to fit then you mixed the resin and put it over top.......i latter bought a fiber glass repair kit for like a small boat and put more on top of the first coat....never had any problems with it....like i said tank held up with both repairs for about a year untill the inlet for the filler neck was too rusted and i sprung for a new oem one.....be nice to know what kinda damage he has on his tank.....a quick visit to canadian tire may help him out

I have seen it already and the problem is due to rust on the seams. Where'd you get the OEM gas tank for 300? I dont have any problem on the filler neck just on the tank edges.
