How does a plastic fuel cell go bad?
I can see it being ripped open off road, one of the hanging straps getting damaged, the fuel pump going out, the filler tube getting ripped, or something to that tune, but how does a plastic tank "go bad"?
This guy probably had his fuel pump replaced and they took him for a new tank, and now he's pissed....
It's amazing how the dealerships and any other reapir shop for that matter try to take advantage of customers. They play the averages. They figure if they call you up anbd say "yup, it needs a new clutch to the tune of $800" and of course you say,okay go ahead. Later they find maybe your rear main seal is leaking a little they figure you approved the $800 that easy they mine as well give it a shot, so they call you up and say "We've got some more problems, the rear main is leaking and the oil can get n your clutch and void your warranty, etc, etc, another $1200 to fix that". Most peoplel trus these rip off artist enough to say "well if it's gotta be done" nex thting you know your $800 clutch comes out to $3000. Then 6 months down the road the clutch goes out! hahahahaha it's a never ending game....
It took me an hour to drop my fuel tank and replace the intank pump,of course a BII is a little easier then an Explorer but the whole job took about 4 tools and a $65 pump, and I had never even thought about dropping my own fuel tank before that.....
Oh and my $1200 clutch job didnt last 10K miles, I did the next 4 clutchs, after that myself for about $60 each, about 6-12 hours of labor each time....
Heck it cost me $1200 total to have a custom heavy duty A4LD built and convert the entire truck to an automatic including all the junk yard parts, computer, cooler, lines, fluids, etc.....
Get a second opinion if you cant do it yourself...
