    Mine is cracked as well. I used that Flex Seal tape...not OEM, but works. Besides, that tank isn’t cheap.

    Shit that's why. It's some cheap off brand grille but it's gonna take more than a bend to reach that port.

    Yeah that's way off, I've had good luck with the TYC and Various Brands ones on RockAuto that are CAPA certified cause they at least verified fit rather than design off of pictures.

    Haha it's a 80s toy pickup. If it was a jeep he would be with that one lonely guy that thought he was going to a jeep meet and found all the real trucks instead
