I put it here since it can happen to all cars even though this is a 9000.
First pic is after the new/used tank is installed.
Not only getting exhaust fumes into the cabin when you have a bad exhaust system but in this case, it blasted the tank with hot gasses to the point it liquified the plastic and slowly blew a hole in the tank so it started to leak.
Luckily, no flames from exhaust reached the area when fuel started to leak out.
Even misaligned exhaust systems can rub against and melt gas tanks but this scenario is a first for me.
