Need Fuel Tank

Tweeter drilled into the top of my 2000 SS fuel tank. Now I am screwed as my mechanic can not find ANY source to get a new tank . . .any suggestions where one could be purchased?

I have one in my 1995, see if that will work in your 2000... I'm pulling the rear soon anyway (perfect time to drop the tank too)

Isn't the fuel tank in the LS1 4th Gens made of plastic? I'd assume it could be fixed.

As of right now - my mechanic plans to fix it - how I am not certain - but it is a ton of work just to get at it! Yes, it IS plastic . . .and out of production. No one has it.

I DO like the fuel cell suggestion tho!

On my 97Z28 the previous owner mounted an amp and drilled 2 holes in the top of my gas tank I fixed it with that epoxy puddy.
They make the same thing for plastic.
I would only do a repair on the top of the tank I would not trust anything on the bottom.
