Default C5 fuel tank(s) needed

I have heavy smell of gas inside my 2004 5.7 liter 6 speed convertible. Looking for reliable place to buy serviceable gas tanks and/ or parts.

Do you know if it's the tank itself, or the crossover tube? Sounds like a bit of diag is in order.

Fuel tanks are difficult to ship. I got one for my '02 from Vette Villains. Great guys there.

I believe mine was sourced new from Zip Corvette. However, a used one from Vettenuts will be cheaper.

That's a steal if anywhere near OP. Don't think I'd put the person's phone number out there on a public forum though when a link to the ad would suffice.

Bear in mind the tanks for late 03 and 04 are different.

Default Fuel tank

Had mine done my Chevrolet dealership, did great job! They broke fuel pump on removal, I didn't get charged for that, rear end has to be dropped down, and it will need a aliment after it is complete

The rear end does not need to be dropped to remove the tanks on a 6 speed.
