MR2 fuel tanks are steel and many have been left to sit for a long time at some point in their life. We often see badly rusted tanks that need to be replaced. As many people do, we have these refurbished at a local radiator shop. This can get complicated, as badly rusted tanks require several weeks of soaking in acid, and are often handled poorly.

The fuel pump sits in a small reservoir, or bowl. This keeps the sock submerged under acceleration and cornering, especially when the fuel level is low. This bowl is made of plastic, and they are often degraded. After sitting in a tank and being pressure washed at a radiator shop, the bowl is often destroyed. This will lead to fuel starving at lower fuel levels.

To address the rust and deteriorated bowl issue, we offer this Refurbished Fuel Tank. We cut a patch out of the bottom of the tank, and weld in a new stainless steel fuel pump bowl. We then send the tanks to have any rust removed and a sealant applied to prevent future corrosion.

You'll need to move all of your rubber pads over from your old tank. We like 3M 08061 adhesive for this.

Send back your old tank for a $300 refund.
