I Need An 850 Turbo Gas Tank!

Recommended Posts

so some jacka$$ kids have been running around my neighborhood vandalizing and seem to have a gas tank fetish.

my neighbor got sand/dirt poured down his gas tank and jacked his engine up.

another guy down the street got cement poured into his tank and a derogatory word written on the side of his truck.

luckily the 850's fuel door locks when you lock the car. so these creeps did the next best thing and literally crawled under my car and punctured BOTH gas tanks on BOTH my 850s (one being my daily driver, the other being my T5-R mod car). i was able to source and replace the tank on the T5-R, but am having trouble finding another for my daily. any merciless member have an 850 parts car i can "borrow" the fuel tank from? i dont even want the pump/sender etc etc. just literally the tank. i know what i need (since i've already done it) and would have it out and done in like 40 min or less.. not looking to clog up your day with my bad day lol. it would be AWESOME if someone would hook a brother up!

thanks guys.

hey guys, im SO sorry i haven't responded quicker - i was checking this out a few times a day and hadn't gotten anything and figured a gas tank is such an oddball thing to ask for haha.. i was just curious and was pleasantly surprised to actually see replies. THANK YOU SO much - i really need this tank so i can go to school. my mod car isn't the best daily driver out there lol. is it cool to ask you where in MA and where in CT you guys are from? and i would NEVER spill, nor cut up anything on the car. i neatly disconnect things and wrap em' up! i've already done this and know how it goes. the tank stays sealed when removing. i will leave NO mess and if you're hungry, we'll go out for pizza, what the hell!

OP, have your tried contacting Volvo, when I first got one of my 850's it had a leaking gas tank, I started looking around for one and someone suggested I contact volvo and tell them the tank was leaking, sure enough it had a Recall for 10 years ago that was never done and volvo replaced it for free.

Just saying, its worth a shot,

haha wow that's a sweet deal! but i think they'd get under the car and see the hole poked in the corner of the tank and say "hey, here's your leak and it looks deliberate, not a factory issue .. give us $1000." hahaha. i just picked one up from Brandon. great guy. and interesting location! thank you guys very much for all your responses though. much appreciated.
