i need a fuel tank and none of the junkyards have it. i need a fuel feed line and a fuel pump.

the parts are for a 89 Lx-i sedan.

the parts from majestic honda costs are as listed

fuel tank = $274

fuel feed line = $36

fuel pump assembly = $204

is there anything cheaper than these?

I'm not sure about the fuel tank and fuel feed line, but if you have a Pepboys near you they have a fuel pump, i'm not sure by who, for $80 for an 89 Lxi.

You will find all fuel tanks taken out of junked cars. This is State law for california.

i think it is a law here that all fuel tanks must have a hole in it before you give it to junk yard.
so you won't find fuel tank in the junk yard.
Sorry man.

I still have my car in my backyard but I'm not sure if the insurance wants to take posession of my car. Untill then, I can't rip any major parts out the car.
I will let you know if you are interested.

$36 bucks for stock feed line is a good deal, thats better than what I paid for just fuel hose at a parts store - I paid $86 for about 11 feet, The tank should be fine for now you can still run it down to a 1/4 tank. That's what I'm doin. The pump I would get at a wrecker - wreckers up here are $60can for fuel pump. Wrecker up here said $160 for pump and tank. To bad ya weren't closer

here was a good deal but i missd it. the junkyard here, the dude offered the fuel line and the gas tank for just $25. yeah thats right twenty five bucks. but the damn dude did not tell me that the cars there dont have gas tanks when they come in. he offered to sell me the fuel line for 5 bucks. but i cant find any lxi or sei there. gotta look at more junkyards

hey oldschool, does the fuel pump come with all the hoses and stuff or just the pump itself?
