Looking for a good condition EP80 1.0 GL petrol fuel tank... from the 1992 model. Live in Cornwall Thanks

Hmm, any ideas how easy it will be to find a replacement tank / best place to look? I quite like the car so wouldn't mind keeping it. The seller has offered me a full refund, I don't think he was duping me, I think he genuinely had only driven it a couple of times and didn't know, don't know whether to get the refund or not. How much do you reckon it might cost to get replaced roughly? There's people talking about plastic padding fix working well??

Okay, managed to get a look under there just now and there's clearly a leak from the fuel tank. Drip ever 2 seconds or so, looks like it's only from one source on a seam, and when having a quick feel it didn't seem like there was a big hole. What's the best option now? What's the cost like to replace a fuel tank? I'm in the UK, is finding a replacement tank easy? or will a fix be relatively easy considering it's only a slight hole in the seam? Or should I tell the seller that he's a stinking liar who must have known there was an issue and I want my moolahs back? Cheers

Just bought myself a Starlet 1992 EP80 1.0 GL, literally 5 hours ago... When buying I could not smell fumes, car seemed all fine, but it had a nearly empty tank. It does drive fine, however I think more fuel disappeared on the fuel gauge than I expected, 30 miles seemed to draw between 1/8 and 1/4 of the tank. But that could just be the gauge, can't be sure on a car from 1992. Anyway, I filled the tank just after purchasing, driven about 30 miles, and then upon getting out of the vehicle I could smell petrol. After about 3 hours at a friends house, I went back to the car and could
