Scraped Bottom, Fuel Leaking

Damn......

I was pulling into a strip mall and the entrance was a huge mountain of an entrance. Even though I went over it diagonally, it still scraped the bottom pretty hard and it is now dripping a little fast than 1 drip a second.

So, what am I up against here replacing it? Do I need to get the OEM part? Can I go to a house of house to get a comparable fix? What kind of pressure rating?

Thanks in advance

You sure you're leaking fuel and not oil?

Stop driving you broke your oil pan.

Yup, oil pan for sure. If I were you, I would think about getting one of these. It's the best thing I've ever purchased for my NB.

I'll second the skid plate.
