Yours too eh? Mine started leaking after I had a fuel tank strap recall done on it. Ford will have nothing to do with covering it (like I really thought they would,LOL)

Tanks are not to bad to replace. Just make sure you get the fuel pump back in the correct position. I had to do mine a while back for the same reason. Started leaking in the same spot. I just hope you didn't just fill it up.

If you're dropping/draining old tank, in the course of replacing with new, it may be a good time to add: fuel tank sending unit, pressure sensor, fuel pump, etc. In short, do it right the first time, you won't be doing it again for a long time.
