Serenity Friekin' Now!!
Took my truck for its inspection a few weeks ago and it failed because it was throwing a couple of codes w/ the check engine light. Took it in today to get it taken care of and they say I need a new gas tank....a friggin $1000 to replace it.
Why do vehicles always know when you finally have some extra cash?  |

I'd get a second opinion.

go somewhere else
maybe the code just needs resetting because maybe you pumped gas and forgot or did not tighten the cap fully
that cancause a code
good luck
look into it further though, it don't sound kosher

Takes slips advice but if you really do need one be thankful you at least have the cash to cover it. |

Needing a gas tank these days is a very rare one. What vehicle is it and does it have a plastic tank. Also is there a chance that it may be a warrantee repair if it really needs one. 2nd opinion. You're not that ugly.

It was a code that it was throwing, had a friend of mine reset them and it threw them again in a day. I'm going to have him take a look at the tank and let me know whats up.
and to top it all of my Freshwater reel broke yesterday and now I need to replace it.

Did you recently change your gas cap to a locking one???
This will sometimes cause the check engine lite to go on!!!
If this is the case, then put the original cap back on and the lite should go off in a day or two!!!
Then get a proper fitting locking gas cap!!!
