The Corvette Gas Tank Kit, 1978-1981 model, costs about $332.88. The labor cost varies depending on the location of the gas tank. While in some cars it’s easily accessible and changing it takes less than an hour, in other cars, you have to drop the exhaust system, drop the rear suspension, and unhook the filler pipe and it can get messy and take a while to fix.
In these cases, you can expect the prices to go up by a few hundred. If the fuel pump is in the tank that should probably be replaced, which would cost a few hundred more.
