very interesting idea. I wonder if there is a correlation between manual transmission cars + cracked fuel tanks, given the prevalence of bad subframe bushings and manual transmission vs automatic cars without that issue. The 96 I have is original auto, still auto, and doesn't have a cracked fuel tank yet...
so anyone with an auto car, acquired a cracked tank with the auto and good subframe bushings... all it would take is 1 person to come forward to more or less eliminate the theory.
