I have quite a few places where my fuel tank is leaking quite a bit that I haven't driven the Explorer in awhile, too much rust issues around these parts. I've seen more 1st gens with plastic tanks than metal. Will a 1st Gen 4door interchange with the 2nd Gen 4door? Wasn't sure if the fuel pump was the same as far sitting down in the tank or if I would run into issues there. I assumed they're pretty identical but not 100%
I'm not worried about the tank being possible to puncture easier because I have a skid plate and if a plastic one will work then I'll get a piece of steel to protect the front of the tank where its exposed.
