gotta replace this thing. It sucks. I guess after installing my pump i didn't notice that i tore it. Now i gotta drop the whole tank again with half a tank in it. this blows. Can anyone make any sugestions to making it a quick easy fix?

I would suggest driving the car until the tank is nearly empty. Other than that, if you've already dropped it once you know what to expect.

BTW, the same damn thing happened to me!

Hindsight but if anyone comes across this thread just go ahead and get a new one whenever you drop the tank. Good insurance for about 15 bucks.
