Two problems related to tank assembly have been reported for the 1998 Nissan Sentra. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
1998 Nissan Sentra gxe would not take fuel. At the gas pump, the pump would click off, like the tank was full. It would take less than a gallon of gas at a time. I took it to be serviced and questioned if there was a recall and I was told that there was just a bulletin on it. I never located the bulletin. The pressure sensor was replaced. That part alone, was over $300. Dollars.
We paid Nissan $88. 75 for the technician to tell us that we need a new gas tank ($900) due to a canister leaking and clogging the air filter inside the tank. They want us to pay $900 to replace the gas tank! we think it must be a defect because gas tanks should last the life of the car or atleast more than 4 years. We are driving with the smell of gas until this is resolved. Please help. Dt.
