Cody,


Does this mean if the pump goes bad or the filter gets clogged, you have to buy the *whole* sealed 
gas tank assembly with new pump/filter/etc.? And pay for R&R the tank (which is tucked and armored 
way up above the exhaust system and rear suspension) instead of just the pump or filter? and 
probably treat the removed parts as toxic waste to be hauled off by guys in moon suits (for $$$$$$ 
per gas tank) to be disposed of in some "environmentally benign" (more $$$$$$$$$$$) approved way?


Am I reading this wrong or are those guys in CA nuts?
