Well then I suppose you have the answer to your question
I really don't see why it would be different.....basically the same body isn't it??

The difference in the tanks is dependant on the year.
98's had a 15.5 gallon steel tank. 99' and up had 16.8 plastic tanks.

So maybe you got some parts for the wrong year car.

98's also had a steel filler neck and 99+ had flexible filler necks.

[venom98]

lil off question but if 99+ is 16.8 tanks would it be around 17.0+ filled to the cap? or is that how its allready is?

running a tank that empty will lead to a dead fuel pump. Todays electric pumps use the gas to cool them. If you keep running it that low the pump will fail prematurely from the heat.

i know, but no company c card and 30 per exit ramp then trip downtown detroit with no diesel stations anywhere. it was a one time thing. and glad i made it back to the shop.

just bad judgemnt on my part

In these trying times you can always just water down your gas A few stations around here do that themselves me think.

[greatwhiteZ28]

im sure lots of cheaper stations do that. i heard here is MI there is a 50 or 60 inspectors for the whole state.
