HELP V8 Quattro

[Ameer Antar]

I keep hearing about gas tanks needing replacement. The only car I've ever 
done that to was a '65 MGB...35 yrs old. Why are these young Audi's falling 
victim? Is it only certain models? What can be done to prevent failure? Gas 
tanks are real expensive, and I'd hate to try a used one if needed. You 
never know what you get when it's used...Thanks.
