Audi S6 help decide it's fate

I have a 1995 Audi S6, bought as a winter car, long trip cruiser. Has the 2.2L Turbo Inline 5-cylinder, manual 5-speed trans and locking rear diff. Unfortunately the fuel tank started leaking this fall, and of course, right after replacing both front CV shafts, and brake rotors. So I am not trying to decide what to do with the car.

Replacing the fuel tank was the easiest answer, but... to remove the fuel tank the entire exhaust, and rear suspension/sub-frame has to be dropped. But the biggest problem is that I can not find a replacement tank, there isn't an aftermarket stock replacement.

I've looked at fuel cells, and the trunk is pretty large, but won't be very usable with a fuel cell in the middle, or even tucked into a corner.

So I have kicked around the idea of parting it out, an AWD 5-cylinder drivetrain should be useful to someone. Or I could strip it down, and do some rally-x. We have been trying to thin the herd of cars we have though, so finding it a home would probably be best.

I think you have your answer.

glue!

Assuming it's a steel tank, gas tank renu? Repairing a gas tank isn't all that uncommon.

did you try Shokan? 1-800-ALL-AUDI

Sell it to me for $50?

Shokan is incredibly expensive. Call Force 5 Auto, they always have these laying around.

Shot Force 5 an email, we'll see what they have.

If it was a simple shape, I would consider trying to repair it. But this thing is very irregular, and tucked up between the body and the rear suspension/differential, etc.

Sent you a PM.

Shoot it with a pumpkin cannon.

Is trunk space so important that you can't sacrifice some for a fuel cell?

Sort of...
