Have you considered getting a replacement tank from a wrecked Blazer? It would be a bit of a gamble but then again this sounds like a pretty rare issue to have so perhaps the odds would be in your favor if you did get a used one. You could also inspect it before you take buy it.

 

Thanks for the insight christine_208 bit actually i looked the tanks up on rockauto and they are only 88.00 - 92.00. i i thk i i may just get a new one. Do u know if there is a plastic tank available for 99 blazers?? 2dr2wdauto

 

Oh yeah. A hundred bucks is a small price to pay for peace of mind and the ability to sleep well at night.

As for plastic ones on the 99s. I think mine is metal but I have not had to look at it much at all. Although I do think I tapped on it once and it sounded like metal.

Perhaps there is an aftermarket supplier with plastic tanks?

But then again, a new metal tank should last 20 years (mine has) so I'd think that would be fine if you are worried about any new corrosion.

 

Oh so true.. thank you for taking the time to respond....
