Unbelievably, they say some of the hoses are not serviceable - meaning if it's one of those hoses they have to replace the whole gas tank. I ask, "You mean you may have to replace the gas tank because some rat a hole in a hose?"
"Unfortunately, yes sir."
The stealership wanted $1200 for a whole new exhaust system when a flange rusted out. I had a piece of pipe welded in there for $100...three years ago.
