How Much For A New Petrol Tank?

[Toyota3000]

Hi all

How much will it cost to replace a 2001 Yaris with a new petrol tank?

I spoke to the garage guy and he said he'd also have to see if the pipes (re. the petrol flow) were metal or plastic. It would make some difference re. possible price and labour.

So do you folks have any rough idea as to whether it'll have plastic or metal piping, as well as the cost of the tank?

Thanks in advance.

I suspect the answer is going to be: as much as the car is worth.

A keen DIY er would keep costs down using s/hand parts.

IIRC the pipes are steel.

Hi Madasafish.

The pipes turned out to be plastic and overall the cost came to £200 (well, £198 to be exact; I told him to keep the couple of quid).

The tank itself was £130 + labour and VAT. It was a new one so I'd rather have that than a second-hand one. You never know when that would have gone if I went for the cheaper option.
