I was wondering if I can replace my overflow tube for my gas tank without replacing the whole gas tank. I know I will have to drop the tank and get new straps to install it, but would I need a completely new tank or can I buy an overflow tube separately?

I don’t see why not. It’s just a component of your fuel system. Components can be changed at will. Is your overflow tube leaking?

What exactly is an overflow tube for a gas tank?

_**Do You Know Specifically Where It’s Leaking? Some Overflow Tubes Are An Integral Part Of The Fuel Filler Neck. If Gas Comes From The Top Of The Tank When It’s Filled Then The Tank Itself Could Be Rusted Through Or One Of The Steel Lines Above It.
