Default Fuel Tanks - Urgent

As most people who were at tonights cruise would know, my fuel tank has a hole. It only leaks when the cars nose is facing down, so it must be at the front of the tank.

What tanks will fit to replace. My car being an EL.

Will be heading to Jollys tommorow to find one, will EA/B/D/F/L all fit properly or will it have to be an EF/L one?

Very urgent!!

Thanks.. pEtE

Are the fuel tanks really made of plastic? As some one said in another thread..........

Ive had it fixed with tank repairer. But ive been told it will only be a temporary thing and will most likely need to fit another tank at some point in the future.
Just glad nothing bad happened with us in the car, and happy that I will still make it to show at FPV day tommorow

Dane, I have 2 screws for you :P

I'd just get another EL tank as you'll know it'll fit on your car.

How'd the hole get there?

ill answer this braden, befor cruise, we was finsihing off petes boot install and 2 screws that we used for the brackets to level the two panels out where to long and 1 maybe both went threw the top of the fuel tank causing what pete said looked to be the smallest hole, but was leaking during the start of the cruise so we didnt get to finsih the cruise

pete you can keep them screws as a memorial thing
