[96stgreendemon]

So i pull out of the parking garage at my campus and i hear a scrape every time i do, after trying to figure out what exactly scrapes i find out its the gas tank, not the best thing to the the lowest part of our cars, so im curious if anyone has done something to fix this delima? almost like some kind of gaurd of sorts

Ive never scrape my tank :\. Usually because my exhaust is lower than my tank,plus what whatthe said the sub frame is also lower. I would def change something because that tank was never made to be beat on and it eventually might lead to it cracking.

As far as making something to protect it, it really depends on what skills/tools you have.Welding near the gas tank is a huge no no,i would say if you really want to fix this:

1.Build a sort "cage" to protect it(similar to 4x4s),weld it together then bolt it in.
2.Drop the empty tank,clean it.Then weld a few bars onto the lowest point
3. FIND A NEW PLACE TO PARK!
